The Art of Negotiation

Let's face it!. The whole process of finding a suitable romantic companion is nothing more than a negotation. Initially you have two separate entities that are capable of fully functioning without pairing up. For whatever reason the vast majority of humans (at least the ones that I know) want to get married for reasons other than having a child. Human nature tells us we want to gain as much as possible while losing only what is necessary.

When it comes to characteristics/traits of the opposite gender, what is necessary (i.e. can't do with out) vs what is an added bonus (negotiable)?

Negotiation…….. these days it is more like elimination. To find a decent man you practically have to put yourself on display, with Vanna White in the background pointing to your most desirable attributes. It is flaunting what you have while showcasing what it is that all of the other women are lacking. Thereby showing him that you are the woman that he wants.

As a man, you have the luxury of lounging back and deciding which of your many “women” can do the most for you. You can decide whether or not you want a highly educated woman that you can showcase at company functions. Or even an intelligent stay at home mom that will both enlighten and love the off spring that have resulted as a consequence of your union.

The relationship game has always been lopsided, but these days the scale is leaning far in favor of the male species.
