"Men are pigs", you say, stuffing your face with ice cream to fill the empty hole of rejection and betrayal
Any relationship is difficult to maintain, but a romantic relationship between a man and a woman is even more so. Why is this?
While love is a feeling experienced identically the act of falling in love involves two entirely different processes for each sex
In the case of men, there are seven particular steps men follow for falling in love
The first step Appreciation, is by far the most common
It's the act of checking someone out focusing on the physical appearance of a potential mate
Physical appearance is not the most important factor yet a condition of a man's individual preferences must be met
The second stage, Infatuation, involves a need to seduce the target love interest
Traditional methods involve asking the interest out on a date while alternative methods may be based on shared interests and hobbies
If he's rejected in this pursuit the man will most likely lose interest
The third stage is Attraction where the pursued love interest reciprocates interest in him
Heartbreak isn't as difficult to deal with before this point,
as vulnerability hasn't built up yet
This is the stage where he attempts to get to know the love interest on a deeper level
A more intense relationship requires both parties to reveal more about one another
Impression, the fourth stage, is simply an enhanced version of the previous stage
The potential mate becomes an obsession to the man attempting to get their attention in any way shape or form
from buying gifts to showing how fun he can be
Regardless of these obsessive signs he is still not in love
Conviction is the fifth stage
Yet it's far more flexible than the other steps, spanning from stages two to four
This is the stage where the man asks himself:
Whether or not he can see himself with the interest in the far future
Considering how difficult it is for the man to establish if the relationship should become more than it is now
This is a background overlying phase yet, it needs to be completed in order to each stage six
Reaffirmation is the sixth stage
Where the man has successfully met his goal of seducing the love interest
Only when the potential mate is in this state will he seriously consider whether or not he wants to have an extreme long-term relationship
The man needs space in this stage. In some cases he could disappear to weigh the pros and cons
If both parties agree, the final stage, Commitment, is achieved
Both parties will be committed to the relationship at this point
And considering this is the seventh stage yes, the man is finally in love
It is important to understand regardless of gender to learn how to love and often this involves falling in love
Hopefully with these tips you found an easier path to understanding how romance works in the mind of a typical man
Males can be fickle,
but if you're into that, keep these steps in mind. You'll be ahead of those who think they know how love works
And maybe you'll save yourself a few pints of ice cream as well
Chocolate can't fix everything.
Maybe "mint", but not chocolate
