The Antithesis Of Love

Romance is the antithesis of love. Romance is an attempt at prolonging heightened emotions. Many women mistake romance for love because they do not understand that love is selfless. Romance is about creating illusions, indulging in what has been done for us, and less about the person. Romance is therefore conditional.

Women are solipsistic, we will see what we want to see based on how we feel. When romance ceases, the lens shatters, and a woman is hit with the confronting disparity between the idealised fantasy version and the true unfiltered version of "the man of her dreams". Instead of taking accountability for the illusion conjured up by her emotions, a less self-aware woman will blame the man, even though he never changed. The man was always who he was. This is why men are rarely seen for who they are and are therefore rarely truly loved as themselves.

In a way, most women almost have to "fall out of romance" to experience and discover love.
