The Definition of Some Men as They Relate to Some Women

Men are pretty good actors. They have resisted domestication by women throughout the ages.

True they are tame, will come to you for affection, come to be fed, play, and behave generally like other human beings with one exception, they will do this only if they want to or because there is a benefit to them in their choice.

No amount of coaxing, training, or discipline will make men obey if they deem otherwise.

They are completely independent by nature. They have many of the qualities, good and bad, that most actors have. They can be captivating, productive, self centered, and accomplished. They possess the ability to bring all of these characteristics into perfect play.

If you have ever watched a man court a woman, you saw there was little difference in his approach when he is working with a computer, looking for a car to purchase, or deciding on a good book to learn from. His mind is completely free from outside distractions while concentrating on his task. Nothing else but his goal is important. He will court the imagined prey, work with it in mock battle, dodge, flee in terror and hide, only to wait for the time to court again.

But do not ever think that he really cares long term for the woman, the computer, the car, or the book. After a while he will lose interest in the current woman, computer, car or book, and just as quickly as he started the play to reach his goal, or learn, he will drop it. (This could be due to his relating better to a more interesting, newer, better equipped, more informative or more entertaining, woman, computer, car or book.)
