Battle of the Sexes 1

Ah.. love.. The euphoric feelings of happiness one feels, when that guy or that girl turned around and just give you that look.. the comfort you feel as your loved one lies on your lap (or vice versa), and you gently stroke her (or his) head.. the rush of feelings you get as you look at the special one..
all going to be systematically broken down and analyzed by a the bastard known as Leland :3

Have you ever noticed how most typical (note the word typical) relationship goes? First, it's usually the guy that goes after the girl. We've all seen guys go crazy over some girl, then go ahead and do whatever it takes to get them. After that, the girl would either accept or reject the guy's advances. If she rejects, the guy might persist for a long or short time, then after some emo-ing give up or switches target. If she accepts, the girl would find herself starting to fall head over heels for the guy, and begin to get more and more attached to the relationship. Ironically at this point the guy's feelings is likely to fade less and less, usually the guy won't be as crazy about the girl as he was when he was after her.

Strange isn't it? Wouldn't it make more sense if the guy and girl fall head over heels for each other at the same time? Sure there is a period, the start of the relationship, where both parties are so intoxicated with hormones they can barely function as human beings, but before and after, the guy and girl both seem to be having feelings very much not synchronized with each others.

Truthfully, it might make things simpler, but it wouldn't make more sense. To answer the question, we have to go back millions of years ago, in the environment where our species evolved.
First, we look from a male's point of view. We all know men are much more easily aroused then women. We also know that men get aroused through visual means, and can get sexually aroused by any women that isn't hideous. This is easy to explain. Guys can easily ejaculate millions of sperm cells, and the easiest way to ensure your genes get pass on to the next generation is.. you got it, fuck as many women as possible.

Yet you might ask, why does guys go crazy over 1 particular girl, and would go to extreme lengths just to be with her? Wouldn't it make sense to go after as many girls as possible? It would, if the girls will have you. Remember, there are other competing and females usually won't put out so easily (for reasons we will go into later). So, if a guy goes after as many girls as possible, and spread his resources/effort among them, it's likely that no females will accept him, and rather accept another male that would commit, thus it makes more sense to go crazy over a particular girl and commit to her every resource available. Of course, while you're going after Girl A, and Girl B comes along and spreads her legs for you, it doesn't make sense for you to refuse. I'm sure most guys know (and admit at least to themselves) that, however, being completely commit ed to one girl (at least for a while) is the most reproductively successful strategy, and thus the genes for mentioned behavior spreads.

The way these genes work, of course, is by dosing you with pleasure hormones every time you see that girl, which will make you think about her all day.. do anything for her.. etc etc.
