Men Fall In Love With Women Who Are Reflections Of Their Inner-View Of Themselves
Because every man is Narcissistic at base-point: Pygmalionic-Effect: As Pygmalion fell in love with his own creation - the statue he created - Galatea. Therefore, if a man is in love, it is a vicarious-existence of his real view of himself - or - what he wishes himself to become : Perfect. Cold. Indifferent. Matchless.
I agree that men are attracted to women who reflect their views. But the reasoning behind your
argument cannot stand. You are arguing that men prefer women who are Perfect. Cold. Indifferent.
Matchless. Because the ideal personality men wish to acquire is Perfect. Cold. Indifferent.
Matchless.
Of all the qualities people rate as desirable in a mate, these 4 traits have never made the top 30.
Never seen them.
And how many men get involved in a relationship thinking, "Gosh, I really hope she's out to change
me."
thanks, Specter;-)
you are the last person I expected an actually nice reply from, but - goes to show - it is a mistake to over or underestimate people;-)
(thanks, again).
It takes two to tango. If you don’t like narcissistic men then choose another kind. I promise they
exist. Besides a true narcissist would never knowingly choose another narcissist, instead they are
going to try to choose somebody who’ll support the image they are trying to present.
in whose image?
ask yourself this next time you go to try and define "babeness"....
real, human qualities are never in the formulae....
hence the Playboy-Mansionees....and company : typical-babeness.
Stereotype.
Although this CAN be true I think it's the exception rather than the rule. Sometimes opposites
attract and you'll see a man with a woman who clearly is not a reflection of his inner self.
Sometimes a couple is together just by luck of the draw - which woman he met at which stage in his
life - instead of being the perfect pairing. Sometimes the relationship is based solely on physical
attraction.
If all men picked women based on reflections of their inner selves then you'd see fewer
relationships fail.
no point in introducing you to the bible, since Analogy is beyond your grasp, you would miss 70% of the New Testament and even more of the Old.
as God as we know Him is defined in the Sacred Scriptures....
if you are unable to make comparatives within a given statement, how do you expect to understand anything? Especially of a religious or philosophical nature?
couldn't happen.
I don't know anything about Pygmalion or anything...but opposites do attract. I don't think a lot
of people want a duplication of themselves living with them. That could get annoying. However,
being with someone he wants to become...that could work.
So, I will educate you on Greek mythology: Pygmalion was a King, he could not find a real woman worthy of his love, so he carved an ivory statue: the matchless Galatea, and promptly fell in love with her.
He petitoned the gods to make her a real woman he could......embrace....and be embraced back by.....his prayer was answered.
I care not for mythology in general.
I do however make one exception for this story of King Pygmalion and his cold, fair, purity: his Galatea - his artistic achievement of a lifetime: so WORTHY his work, his creation, ultimately fulfilled him as no one in his life had or could do.
this is probable intended as a metaphor for men to continue in their creative, artistic endeavours until they ultimately succeed.
at any rate, it is a good story:-)
it has just a bit of a hint of the creation of Adam and Eve by God, in that Galatea, as Pygmalion's own creation, must have had some of his own qualities - since she came form him....
just as we were created by God, and as Genesis says:
