power struggles/conflict and sexuality
Ladies often say: "I Think men can be too nice", but the problem is when men learn/try to find the middle ground. They get caught up in a power struggle, it is inevitable. Why? Because women are telling men that they will like them more if they aren't very nice some of the time. This is conditioning men to think that they will be shown more attention if they act in a negative way. Is there any worse kind of behavioural conditioning?
I believe these kind of conflicts within relationships force people to compromise who they are. Men get forced into acting more manly by women, and women get forced into mothering men in a maternal role and being submissive to them. We wander in and out of these roles because we don't know what we really wan't. Women say they wan't one thing and then run after something else. Don't get me wrong,I'm not mad, I think its connected to survival of the fittest and not being able to control animalistic desires. i.e. lust for the sake of survival, but what a price we have to pay in relationships for such power struggles. Would you give up your sexuality to transcend them?
