Andrew Valentine’s Unified Theory of Wussiness
Hello and welcome to my short essay. After reading a piece by David DeAngelo about why women get tired of men I got thinking about two of the reasons he cites…
1) Men behave like a wuss when they meet a woman
2) Men turn into wusses once they have start seeing a woman
And I want to examine why this is the case, in the indignant style of Nietzsche.
Why of why do we, as men, lose our masculinity in the face of the female? Time and time again I see strong, decent willed men fall for a woman who either he was once equal or in control of.
And yet there are successful men who lack our strength. There are successful men who treat women like dirt.
So why do proud men either exist as wusses or turn into wusses?
Because there is something that they think the other person can solve, that they can’t solve themselves.
Relationships are about mutual advantage – people get together because they offer each other something.
So why does this happen so often in close relationships?
Because our parents are our role models for relationships – and for a huge portion of our life they clothe, feed and take away the pain.
If anyone is going to do something for us that we cannot do for ourselves, it will be our parents.
And your parents are our role models for relationships.
So really, it is no surprise that we seek others to fill the gaps in ourselves that we are scared to fil ourselves.
Confidence is the key to healthy relationships, confidence in ourselves and a willingness to take responsibility for what we want for ourselves. To be happy with yourself is the only way to be happy with another.
