Love Makes Men Stupid

A man, even the strongest, would fall weak in front of the love of his life. Why? You asked. Because what she says matters. It matters more than the same things said by friends. Ms Love says things that bear upon a man, and that presses the man's panic button that subconsciously reads 'do this for her', 'I didn't provide well, that's why she thinks this way', 'hmm? I don't have much experience handling this, but I remember doing this when I was a kid. I shall do this now' etc. The self-blame and the fallback on pre-adult memory make men guilty and childish respectively. Together, the mental stress and activities (alcohol, late nights, smokes etc) that are associated with male self-reprimand + the immaturity of pulling kiddy tricks (late night calls, childish excuses, stealing movie lines etc) make men look STUPID.

There are so many classic examples. The Kallang dissection is a good example. No man would chop his male friend for similar reasons, but he may butcher a woman. Love had made him stupid. Other examples revolve around us from time to time. One must have heard stories of Mr A doing stupid things when Ms B left him ... stupid things like crying, graffiti on walls, harassment by phone, being drunk on hard liquor etc. Silly as it seems. Though man is the stronger sex, woman dictates his actions when he loves her enough.
