Attraction

Completely. Just completely.

Most men have completely lost the concept of attraction. Or rather attracting.

There is a stubborn sense of entitlement that has infiltrated our language when it comes to romance.

How can I get a girlfriend?

I want to get married.

How can I get girls to message me online?

I can’t get this girl to text me back.

I need to get laid.

See the pattern? Get.

Whether in real life or fiction, we see examples of other men getting they want –or rather what you want– we assume due to our jealously we should also be entitled.

And we should get it without effort or strategy. We think like cavemen. Because attraction is absent, we go out with our cavemen clubs (also known as a fancy dinner date and just being there on a date but being there very awkwardly) and try to hit the cavegirls on their heads, so we can drag them back to our cavehomes.

When this doesn’t happen, we get shocked, angry, bitter, and/or depressed. Or perhaps this is too familiar for us, so we don’t even try anymore.

No wonder we fail. 

Just a late night thought. Don’t mind me.
