Often times, men have a bizarre way of thinking. Many times there will be notices in the newspaper, whereby some chap has seen a pretty girl somewhere, and then rather than saying ‘Hello‘ to her and being friendly; he spends a lot of extra time and effort sending a missive to some publication or other. Presumably in the hope that said girl he saw will happen to read the same paper, on the correct day, and look at the right section, and read his message, and realise that it was the same gentleman, and conclude that he wasn’t leering at her, and thus she will feel inclined to make a response to the suitor.
If that last sentence leaves you out of breath, then imagine the improbability of it all actually panning out, and the fellow managing to contact the lady, let alone arrange a meeting. For some reason I have in my minds eye a picture of the drippy thirty something guy from the BT adverts. I can only guess that this is how the media would like guys to see themselves (probably so they can sell them more stuff, and thereby partly ameliorate the problem they created).
My conversations with average guys have nearly always taken the same strange turns. Often times they will say something along the lines of:
I saw this special girl, she was so beautiful, I wanted her to notice me, but now she’s with another guy… I hope they split up, and then maybe she’ll notice me. Perhaps if I start spreading lies and gossip about them, they’ll split up and she’ll notice me… Perhaps if I get my mates to warn the guy off, she’ll notice me… Perhaps if I can get the girl alone one night…
That’s a seriously messed up behaviour pattern, and it’s no wonder girls have to be so cautious these days.
If these guys started learning about polygyny or even just did something different from sitting on their hands, wishing, and thinking messed up thoughts, they’d probably find one girl just by chance alone.
