"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.

So under which category do YOU fall under, dude? LOL!

Seriously, I've read stuff like this many, many times. And yeah, we do sometimes relate. It's during these times we get a strange feeling and go "hell yeah, why is it like this anyway?"

As much as it's a good read, to me that's just what it is - a good read. If humans we're so simple enough that we can structure them into categories and labels like "badass" + "gay" + "car-lover", then any problem that comes along can be solved just by aiming at the root of the problem (if a nympho is angry, give her a man or a dildo; if a posh girl is angry, take her shopping, etc.).

But, no, it's never THAT simple. People are tremendously complex that their way of thinking varies with any immediate and/or long-term factor.

Saying "All women love to be fantasized by men" is a big generalization. And that's what it is - a generalization. Not all ugly chicks like to be fantasized the same way as not all hot chicks like to be fantasized either.

Which takes me to this long-ass conclusion -- getting into a relationship IS CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS! You may think you've found your one true love, but come the next day or the next week, something comes up; or you may be upset with your current GF now, but come this dinner you'll have the most awesome lovemaking session in your life.

Walang guarantees pagdating sa tao. Kahit asawa mo yan, or GF/BF mo yan, or magulang mo yan or whatever.

Just go with the flow, and enjoy living with the people significant to you.

OK now that sentimental drivel is out of the way, paint your Cygnar so we can play at UPCFA! LOL!

mam neneng: hee hee. patawad. di po sadya.

mam acey: yeppers. but then again my "nice women" could be different to your and most probably others' "nice women". it's a point-of-view thing. =)

sir garrkid: ehehehe. pisohin mo na lang ako sa gyera sa linggo. :p

sir kim: huhuhu andun ako sa likod ng mga yan. magulo ang tao (kaya walang straight-"A" success sa mga nag aral ng human behaviour) at ibayo ang pagbabago. tama. pero kay sarap ng pag-ibig na wagas na sadyang di matitinag ng kahit anong balakid. ideyalismo, mala-pelikula pero posible.

wehehehe... pag dating ng stock ni Mang hahabol ako sa rating nyo!!! Long live Cygnar and the King!!
