The Formula of Love?

entry picture

 

Man’s logic is so illustrative and simple,

He thinks he is so nimble.

Remembering the words of the great Pushkin:

“The less we love a woman the more she likes us”,

He is neither in a hurry nor in a fuss

To express his feelings and…. Alas!

There is nothing more here to discuss

From the attitudes of the poetic lyrics.

Pushkin’s words are not yardsticks.

The times have changed

Everything has been rearranged.

Today a woman would say:

“The less you love me the more I’ll love the other men.”

Hey, man! A woman is not a hen. Do you understand?

An entertaining comment on how we interact today.
We may give each other "rights" and congratulate ourselves, but the trap is the
way we can use that to absolve ourselves from
acknowledging that human nature and its needs
remain the same...merely dressed in a different
set of clothes to suit the time.
Men will continue to wonder what exactly women want - and women will continue to confuse them!
It has always been so.

As a non-henpecked man I still don't know. Is this one of those unfathomable ponderings that can fill a lifetime? Woman are emancipated. They have equal, if not more, right to love and be loved in the way they choose. "times have changed" Ta muchly, Nick.
