"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness"
- Euripedes (480? bc -406? bc)

*A man courts a woman to "test" the waters if they, as couples, will click. A woman will have this preliminary screening if she'll accept his courtship or not. Couples that will pass through this stage will ascend a step higher on their intimacy level because the man, provided he has no other intention but love, has explicitly affirmed that he preferred the woman to be a prospect girlfriend and the woman, provided she has no other intention but love, has explicitly confirmed that he is a prospect boyfriend. That's on a flawless setup. What if both have other intentions than love? What if the affirmation and the confirmation are not explicit enough? What if in spite of it all, the idea of having him/her as a prospect beloved just doesn't sound appealing to you?

*Most women has a thing for complicated relationships (I'm not talking marital relationships of course). It is not necessarily a "happy" thing for them but more of "excitement". The thrill of expecting what will happen next after a lover's quarrel. The elation of having to deal with a handful of suitors sans care for the boyfriend. The buoyant anticipation of a bestfriend's confession of love whilst amidst a mutual understanding with another man. It gives them this sort of pride and wistful gratification of having an "active" lovelife other than the static boring ones. Ironically, when one "complication" could be solved with a decisive choice, most women would just resign to their stereotyped weaknesses, leave the problem unsettled, and put "It's Complicated" status on their Friendster account. Yes, they somewhat wallow on that.

*Men, by nature, is polygamous. But then, a polygamist does not know true love. If your lover has confessed his love for you then later loved another woman, sorry but he did not truly loved you. Men, by nature, is polygamous but he can surmount his nature. If he stayed with you until the end, be proud that he have found true love in you.

*Humans have masochistic tendencies in loving. I've discussed it, and never will again.

*Humans would rather fall in love than to simply love. It's the "fall" that hurts.

*Nice women would fall for either scruffy-looking, futureless, badasses or Porsche-driving, mommy-cuddled, cash worshipers. Men in between should suffer to pick off from their left overs.
