Never Settle For Less

Juggling women seems to have become some type of sport.  It’s not a recent phenomena either.  It seems to have been passed down from generation of caveman to generation of caveman as the thing to do.  You would think something passed down through the centuries would have some positive impact on life.  Unfortunately, it does nothing except bolster the male ego (for reasons I’ll never fully understand).

Here’s a story I’m sure you’ll enjoy.  It happens to perfectly illustrate my point as well.

About a month ago a close friend and I were talking about women, sex, and dating.  The conversation floated and drifted from topic to topic.  We go back and forth as friends do during the normal flow of a conversation.  Eventually, the conversation went into the number of women I man should have under his belt and/or date at the same time.

Let me start by saying we were on opposite ends of the spectrum on this one.   He has some caveman/Macho Men tendencies so I really shouldn’t have been all that surprised.  According to my good buddy a man’s purpose in life is to

"Sleep with as many women as possible.  That’s what we’re supposed to do.  If I have a son I’m going to tell him to have sex with as many women as he can.  That’s what they are here for."

Statements like this make me sick.  First, its incredibly ridiculous.  Second, the idea is passed around to millions as if its ok.  Third, it makes women (except the ones in OUR family) out to be objects used for sex.  Fourth, the creative energy used in attracting, seducing, and later having sex with several women could be better used with many other aspects of life.  So why pour the majority of it into misleading women?

My father taught me something a long time ago that I still carry to this day.  He caught me at the point when I was just becoming interested in girls and sex and said something very profound.

“Don’t treat any woman different than you’d want  your mother or grandmother to be treated“

That is without a doubt some of the best advice he’s ever given me. That one sentence has helped me keep my head on straight and respect the women in my life.

Mr. Caveman if you’re out there please pay attention.  You can still be a man without juggling and misleading 3-4 women for your own personal gain.  Trust me…its not that bad.  You may actually gain some respect for women
