strong enough for a man, pH balanced for a woman. we are almost done with felicity season one. it's been two months. so far the best part, or rather, the most unexpected part, has involved a crusher of felicity getting crushed by a bus. the sheer craziness of seeing someone get trucked by a bus on a show like felicity is really pretty genius.



to help explain to the masses why a show like felicity resonates so much with the male soul. this show is about relationships. everyone likes relationships, it's like ice cream. a show like felicity allows you a chance to "see the other side" or at least to get a sense of what girls might be feeling and exactly how crazy they are. a male show like felicity wouldn't really be the same because nobody wants to see a sensitive weepy boy on their tv screens. but you put a girl up there and everyone can relate. girls relate to her. guys want to relate to girls who relate to her. and then the line blurs, to the point where guys can experience the exact same things that felicity is experiencing. some guys don't like this stuff (if you object to the genre as a preference, i'm cool with it, but objecting to it on the grounds it's a "girls show" is lame) or are too far away to appreciate the beauty that is "shows like these". they are just confused and need to open up. embrace your feminine side. she'll hug you right back.



the roles in a relationship are rarely just male-female. they are more defined. hurt-initiator of hurt. pant wearer-whooped. flirty-jealous. sometimes for guys it's hard to admit that they have "feelings". so a show like felicity allows them to talk about it without really talking about it. see? they can see all these fictional characters tackling issues that they face themselves but are too wussy to admit. and therein lies the magic of the male attraction to felicity the show.



for the record, just as a test poll. who's hotter, more attractive, whatever....felicity or pink power ranger girl? please indicate whether or not you are a male or a female when answering this. if you are confused about the question, the show, the characters or your sexuality, feel free to guess. also please don't confuse the actresses with the characters. we are talking felicity and ex-pink power ranger here. not keri russell and amy jo whatever.
