Love vs Infatuation

Before I comment about my feelings on the book, I believe it is necessary for me to answer the comment towards my post on the fact that women are manipulative. First, I would like to point out that my past has nothing to do with anything that I write on this blog. So, if you think that there is something in my past that might make me upset towards women then that is for you to guess at but not to bring up since it is after-all my past and is not up for discussion. Also that quote doesn’t seem to be on page 49 but I’m sure you can show me later where it’s actually located but, I digress. The reason why men try to avoid relationships is because women try to make things complicated. For example, the fact that you want to bring up the idea that it is part of human evolution to manipulate and therefore all humans manipulate one another which makes us all liars and evidently untrustworthy. This of course is not the case but I’ll roll with this idea. Humans are superior animals that can think and hold strong emotions. Plus, it is one of our human instincts to have sex since we all want to reproduce because that is our way of survival. Now, with such a human instinct, we all share the feeling of infatuation towards others. The definition of infatuation is: to be inspired with an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone else. So, men who we can agree are more simple-minded when it comes to emotions, wish to have sex with these women or men they are infatuated by. So, they “hook up” with one and move to the next. In conclusion, I have just proven that to “hook up” with several women or men is in fact a part of human instinct. However, when we think of what the majority of women want from a man, they want lasting love that should last, immense amounts of attention to be paid towards them, etc. Plus, women do not see the action of sex the same way as men do. Men only do so for pleasure and for their human instinct. Women seem to only do so when they believe that the man they are with actually loves them. Now, the word love is defined as: an intense feeling of deep affection. So, when a man leaves a woman because human instinct dictates to him to do so, the woman eventually gets jealous and sees it necessary to win this man back because they miss the admiration that was given to them by that man. To win him back, the woman must strategically recreate the infatuation the man once felt towards the woman by manipulating and seducing him. And no, if I can prove mathematically that woman equals evil then I have a problem with woman.

On to the book, it was a lot easier to interpret than Notes from the Underground but, I did not like the idea that Veronica was toying with someone like Tony. Tony was an innocent man who was insecure around women and needed help when it came to conversing with them. However, Veronica took advantage of his insecurity and exposed it to the world as if to humiliate him. I did enjoy the character of Mrs. Ford since she seemed to be the only person who wanted to actually help the poor lad. He could be classified as a scared lamb among wolves. Majority of women did not want to help him and fellow men just stood back and laughed as he stumbled over his own feet. The ending of the book was very confusing due to the fact that we where only hearing his interpretations but what it seems to be is that Adrian slept with Mrs. Ford and had a child whom is actually Veronica’s sibling. If not, then I am completely lost just like Tony. But if so, then it is what Veronica deserved since she never helped Tony who didn’t want to help her in the end and which I congratulate him on.
