I don't know what possessed me to check it out.

I'm stuck at uni again, adamant that I will not drive home in peak hour traffic. So i'm entertaining myself with a bit of reading (good old-fashioned stuff, that is), a smattering of mechanics (learning how to tamper with car ignition timings), and some FB-ing, namely an episode with a solar eclipse (you know who you are).

I happen to flick over to Gmail and start a convo with lovely miss Jojo. I haven't talked to the girl for ages! Every time we talk, I'm reminded of how scarily similar we can be at times. Maybe thats why I don't talk to her much anymore...

Anyway, I mouse the cursor over her name and the picture pops up. Nothing unusual, just her and her boiboi. I mouse over a few other friends. Them and their boyfriends, too. Hehehe... singleness is fighting a losing battle. A few more friends and a few more faces... wait. What's this?

I go back through the faces again, to make sure that I'm not seeing a white elephant. The double-check confirms it.

Seven of the eight girls on my list with boyfriends have display pictures with their boyfriends (poor left-out boy!).

Of the six guys with known girlfriends, only one has a display picture with her (lucky girl!).

Now, one can justifiably argue that all boys are bumm'oles and all girls are insecure. Justified yes, but correct?

It's a little something called 'sycawligy'. And, to me, observing the differences between males and females, is simply beautiful.

In Faith, Hope and Love!
