Evolution

Ah, the cycle of things.

Did the chicken come before the egg?  Or the egg before the chicken?

Did God really create man first, and woman out of the man's rib (and what the fuck does that mean anyway, aside from the fact that it does kind of explain the overblown male ego, I suppose)?

Sometimes I wonder if men and women shouldn't be considered separate species altogether.  I mean, if we are all evolving, shouldn't it somehow become easier for us to solve the same damn problems that have always been there?

Real life example:
A guy says he is going to call.  He doesn't call.  It's not necessarily that the guy doesn't want to talk to the girl, it just doesn't happen for whatever reason.  The girl gets disappointed, upset, or otherwise feels insecure.

This same example has repeated itself for decades among men and women.  Of course there are a myriad of variables and circumstances around these types of situations, but if we were really evolving and adapting, wouldn't one of these two things come to pass:

a.)  A guy says he is going to call....and HE CALLS.
b.)  A girl never expects the guy to call or doesn't get her hopes up, ergo no disappointment.

There are those outliers of course, but that is exactly what they are.  Exceptions....not the rule.

Ey, ey, ey.  When will we ever learn?  Or perhaps evolve into not giving a damn.
