The Game is to be Sold, Not to be Told

Men are typically pretty weak creatures. They can, of course, exhibit shows of mental and physical will that can seem impressive at times, but in the right situation, those displays will come tumbling down like the tower of Babel.

Man's biggest weakness, of course, is sex. Sex will make a man do things he ordinarily wouldn't do--shave, buy a nice car, paint his apartment, buy diamonds, etc. Percy Sledge knew this when he wrote his famous song, "When a Man Wants to Fuck a Woman" (which was later made more famous by Michael Bolton). A lot of people don't know that the song was originally titled that but was later changed to "When a Man Loves a Woman" by the label to appeal to a larger audience. Percy, of course, was outraged at the time, but was rewarded with fame and the opportunity to fuck countless women as a result. In the song, Mr. Sledge mentions a number of things a man will do when he wants to fuck a woman--"He'd trade the world for a good thing he's found"; "give up all his comforts and sleep out in the rain"; "turn his back on his best friend"; "Lick the pearl tongues"; etc.

It's because of this profound weakness that man has for sex that an important, often unspoken evolutionary theory/rule has been made a part of (what has been officially dubbed) "The Man/Woman/Fuckin' Game." The rule is:

If woman approaches man with the purposes of a relationship, the relationship will end poorly.

The reasoning behind this rule is basically that if a man wants to be involved with a woman enough, he will go out and try to achieve his goals--whether they be sexin', lovin', marryin', or other. If he isn't really interested in the woman but she approaches him anyway, his weakness (the desire to score) will almost always overcome his reasoning ability and accept the advances of the hopeful female.¹

And now a few caveats.

1.Personality type. This is a big one. The natural order of things (that man pursues woman) is such mainly due to the genetic makeup of our species--man has the ability to spread his seed as far and as wide as he can, woman needs to be more selective with her mates as she can't exactly go gallivanting around town looking for a baby daddy when she's knocked up. A smaller part of that is the tendencies men and women have as a result of that genetic makeup. Most men have an imprint in their genetic code (between DNA numbers 128 and 129) that says that if they want to procreate, they're going to have to go out there and make it happen. In turn, this usually translates into a personality type that lends itself to make that happen. For women it is the same, but the other way around (the tendency to let men audition for them, but choose more selectively).

But for some, the personality and experience they own doesn't enable them for such behavior. Instead men of this description find themselves happier to be pursued, while the women here prefer to be the aggressor. These people are a minority.

All of this is a long and somewhat contrived way of saying that there are some people who don't fit the mold, and it's probably due to their personality types.

2. Maturity. This one is less important. Maturity, of course, is a broad term that many people claim to possess, but few people actually do (not unlike a sense of humor, skillz in bed, and good cultural taste). I only mention it because from the ranks of the lowest to the positions of the world's elite alike, most men lack the real maturity necessary to turn down sex. (Want an example? Bill Clinton. You think he would have sought out Monica? Please.) Some people actually do have this maturity, but it is often confused for homosexuality or a funny-shaped penis.

So it's not true that this rule applies to everyone--it doesn't. It just applies to everyone but meek men and aggressive women. And those without a cock that bends 90 degrees to the left when erect.

There are ways for women to get the man she desires of course, but they don't usually include buying him a drink, asking him out, or otherwise throwing yourself at him. Keep this in mind, ladies, the next time you start to thinking that a guy in the club looks good. If he's not staring you down too, or buying you a drink, or dry-humping your leg, he may not dig you as much as you think, even if you do hit that ass.

Next time: How the ladies can get the man they're after without actually getting up from their chair.

¹Example: Fraternity guys and their uncanny tendency to bang heavy hopefulls at around 3 a.m. on Sunday morning. Do they really want to do it? Nah. Do they do it anyway because they can? 'Course.
