A two-way love 8

Mélissa: Hey! Hi Max! How’s it going?

Max: Hi Mélissa, yeah I’m good, and you?

Mélissa: Yeah, I'm fine, thanks. I feel like you’ve been a bit distant lately. Are you still mad at me for what happened?

Max: No, why?

Mélissa: You don't talk to me like you used to, and then there’s this girl I see you making laugh all the time. First of all, who is she?

Max: I don’t really get what you’re trying to say, but anyway, the girl in question is Julia. And as for who I choose to talk to or not, I don’t think that’s any of your business.

Mélissa: Touché!

A hurt man is a vulnerable man, a man who is fragile in the deepest part of his being. He is one who has invested a part of himself, his time, his pride, and his ego as a man. A man who lets his fragility show is a man in love—a fallen animal. In the jungle of seduction, we often think the man is the hunter and the woman is the prey, but that hasn't always been the case, or perhaps it never was.

The woman is considered a formidable hunter because of her appetite and her constant search for stronger thrills. It is her need to be at the center of everything and her insatiable desire to be hunted, to hunt, to compare, and to let go—to lose interest as soon as the objective is reached.

The stakes are high enough to give way to an existential war between the same complementary species that is supposed to love one another instead. Everyone builds a wall, erects barriers, and creates an impenetrable defense. To seduce in today's world is to go to war.
