RUMINATIONS OF A LOW-STATUS MALE, VOL. 3: ON BEING UNWANTED
Unfortunately, desire is not an infinite or even an abundant trait; therefore, some men must needs go unwanted. That is to say, their desire to be desired must needs go unmet.
What truly weeds out the wheat from the chaff, or the men from the boys, is how a man responds to being unwanted. He cannot help wanting to be wanted, for that (it may be said) is inevitable, an aspect of his genetic makeup which cannot be jettisoned.
Unrequited desire to be desired cannot help but produce sadness. Lack of companionship cannot help but result in loneliness.
