The Ultimate Woman
Written by Vonnegut
The other day I answered the phone over at a friend's house. He still has a land line. It was either a woman or girl, I could not tell but it was a wrong number. She wanted to speak to someone that was definitely not living there. I don't know why but I started chatting her up. Next thing you know we were really talking. Best conversation I have had in ages. I mean all kinds of ideas, religion, politics, racism, oil spill, Obama, all the stuff that is currently out there in the world. Interesting stuff. I guess she had time on her hands and so did I. I definitely ain't got nothing going on. We chatted for about an hour. I said goodbye but I did get her number on the caller ID. Other than her number I know absolutely nothing personal about her and she doesn't know anything personal about me.
I have this fantasy that I’ve had for a while, but I don't think I have the guts or the brains to pull it off. Please comment.
I want to meet a woman and I don't want to know anything personal about her, name, address, where they work, what kind of car they drive, likes, dislikes etc. I don't even want to know what they look like or how they dress. I want to make a date with her and go to a totally dark motel room. She is not going to know anything about me either. We meet, drink a bottle of wine or soda, talk about anything but who we are and what we do, all in total darkness. Like we were blind. Two human beings just being with each other.
Then we make love and see what that would be like. I am not talking a prostitute. More like fight club type thing ala the Brad Pitt movie. We agree to have a 5 date "relationship" to see where it takes us. We never even contact one another until it is time to meet again. We share no past or future, and very little of the present. A perfect relationship, really.
This goes along with my world view that men and women need to live in separate camps and only see each other once or twice a month. Children would be spaced out every 10 years, be reared in the women's camp of course, and materially supported by both sexes. The male children would be turned over to the men's camp at the onset of puberty. Both men and women would enjoy the freedom to pursue any goal they choose. Not strict segregation like in Islam but something else.
This would be a better way to relate other than he wants sex, she wants a mini-van type of deal we have in the world today which is really bartering and prostitution by a different name and also helping to kill the planet among many other things.
Of course in case you are wondering, the gay and lesbian lifestyle would be totally tolerated and accepted. But, child molesters, as the Vikings did, would be dispatched with extreme prejudice.
I really don't believe women and men can tolerate each other for long periods of time. For me, it always gets kind of harsh and egocentric. I would like to see the kind of relationship I have described become a normal thing to do, at least for me. What a great world that would be.
