The problem is that there are only two ways...

Only a woman of pride, complexity and emotional tension is genuinely worth the act of love, and there are only two ways to get yourself one of them. Either you lie, and stain the relationship with your own sense of guile, or you accept the involvement, the emotional responsibility, the permanence she must by nature crave. I love you can be said only two ways.

While I consider myself the former, I truly appreciate this level of introspection. It's one most men are unable to comprehend, as [i]complexity and emotional tension[/i]isn't usually acceptable; but viewed as too complicated/irrational instead. Great post & kudos to you!😉

Most people will chose the lie, man or woman, in the search for the perfect mate.

The reason I say this is the first date. Dress nice. Take her to a fancy restaurant. Attempt to impress her.
Women. First date. Do hair real nice. Pick the perfect outfit that shows just the right amount of skin but not enough to look slutty.
It a social drive layered over primal needs.
Does that make sense or sound combative???

@Dainbramadge I hear what you are saying.

@SW-User Great. I was a little worried I was swimming up the wrong stream and was going in a goofy direction. LOL

I could ramble for hours about the fallacy created around the "First Date". LOL

Will you take the high road? Will you take the low road? Or decide no woman is really worth it?
