The extreme of interpreting a high-school level wink as love interest in adulthood is like falling in love with someone who shares a pencil with you. It's possible between toddlers, but ridiculous as adults.

For men, there is a unique aspect of love that traditionally isn't open to women. This is the "I want you to be able to stand on your own two feet without me. I want you to be a Man™ " ritual of leaving the spartan child in the dark forest of wolves.

It's the most painful and fiercest of the true forms of love. It can even feel worse than the most painful of the false forms of love. When someone we love abandons us it can feel worse than torture. Cutting yourself can literally better.

That this love is traditionally reserved for men is not great since women also exist as conscious beings. No matter who you are, you will face existential loneliness and despair. It's not just "Men" who have to be able to stand on their own two feet.

Yet think about the "throw the child into forest" ritual. The blood and sacrifice is *necessary* just like dying of animals is necessaries for evolution via gene propagation. You need to stack rank and cull. Sons sacrifice themselves for society. "War Heroes"

Nowadays though, physical strength and a strong will aren't necessary. Men don't need to die to serve society. The equivalent is basically a stupid guy realizing he's stupid (within a domain) and withholding his opinion. An aspect of the ego dies instead of the physical gene.

At a social level we're opening up women more and more to this "Fierce Love". There's no need to throw people to the wolves anymore so the more sacred feminine is brought out to 'play' after being stifled in so long it was like a prison.

This fierce love truly is fierce though. Imagine someone drugging you with a huge dose of lsd/mushrooms/dmt etc... to help you face existential loneliness. Would you forgive that person? E.g. what "V" did to Evey in the film "V for Vendetta"

This is the love of "I will eventually die. I want you to be STRONG without me."

The question is. Do most women want this power? Many I suspect, would prefer that an Aspect of the Masculine (you know... like a human male) be powerful as surrogate. Very few people actually want to Venture into the Dark Forest of Existential Despair.

Very few men actually want to do this either. It's quite honorable to guard the Promethean Fire of the brave heroes who came before as well. There is no shame is losing courage as long as you are humble enough to admit that you did so.

the highest forms of love were not offered to the sacred feminine traditionally because it was the ultimate "High risk, high reward" gamble. You think the risk of pregnancy has such a great reward. Imagine how great the reward is when the risk is LITERAL OBLIVION OF SELF.

"That must be great. Everyone should experience it at least once in their lifetime." You fucking idiot. That was a description of Death.
