Why buy a cow when you can find milk everywhere?

My last blog has elicited some interesting response from readers. A couple of hours after I posted the blog, a friend text me the following message, “Woman, your blog ……” That was it! He was obviously speechless. When prompted, he said that my blog was even better than Xiaxue. I wasn’t sure if that was a compliment or an insult. Hahaha … Some other friends responded by suggesting other words I could blog about i.e. dick, john, come (cum), screw, do, … wow, speak of coming out of the closet with word fetishes!! :D

In any case, today’s blog has nothing to do with semantics; but everything to do with analogy. “Why buy a cow when you can find milk everywhere?” A friend commented some weeks ago out of the blue. We all looked at her absolutely confused.

She explained that “these days there are so many young ladies out there giving their ‘wares’ freely, why would guys want to get one with so many strings attached?” “After all, willing seller, willing buyer,” she said. Hmmm … it kind of makes sense doesn’t it?

In the law of economics, equilibrium is achieved when supply and demand intersects. Therefore if there is a demand for milk and there is boundless supply of milk, why would the buyer look for a cow to produce milk? Why would a buyer go through the trouble of production? You follow me so far?

I had a chat with a male friend the other day and brought up this interesting turn-of-phrase. He claimed that although there was some truth in the phrase, not all men look for milk ~ him, for example. Hmmm … this “claim” came from a man who admitted to having XX number of girlfriends and relationships. Maybe I should put him through the N-3 test to determine the accurate number of XX girlfriends he had gone through. :D After all, how much can you believe a 35 year old man who jumped into a relationship with a 25 year old lady not too long after meeting her? I remained sceptical but since that has no bearing on me, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

But, it’s an interesting analogy isn’t it? “Why buy a cow when you can find milk everywhere?” Hmmm … I wonder if this applies to the female species or are we forever doomed by our emotional needs for love, commitment and fidelity? Then again, for every willing buyer, there is a willing seller! Therefore, this must apply to a few women at the very least. Hmmm …
