By nature, women are deeply attuned to emotions. We seek emotional variance and extremes, as the highs and lows makes us feel alive - our emotions have the power to distort our perception of time. This is why remaining consistently near an emotional "baseline" - a more masculine state - feels "boring" to many women. It also explains why modern women often claim to do things "for the plot" - in truth, it is rarely about the "plot" - but rather a yearning to feel something intense. This emotional addiction underpins the allure of taking irrational romantic risks or gravitating towards aloof, indifferent, or unpredictable men. These men elicit a spectrum of emotional responses - from the spike of anxiety, frustration, and excitement in sending a "risky" message - to drowning in the bittersweet melancholy of nostalgia. Such experiences create emotional richness - laying the foundation for a deeper emotional bond. For some women, these men become "suppliers" - providing the emotional "high" they seek.

Experienced men often recognise this dynamic. I've noticed that some even intentionally create manageable emotionally fluctuating scenarios for their women to experience - they understand that a beast created in captivity is preferable to an untamed one from the wild.

It is important to note that self-aware women are still at the mercy of our nature. Awareness is merely mental tempering - our ongoing internal wrestle to return to our inherent whims will always exist.
