Break-Up - Women Confuse Attraction With Love

A woman will often get involved with a man who isn't going where she's going. It's obvious for everyone that he's not the right man for her, but she can't see this. Why does that happen?

Well, nature doesn't take into account our long-term happiness when it comes to relationships. It also doesn't care how much we have in common with this person we feel attracted to or if we'll get along with them in the long run. Nature only cares about the fulfillment of our biological need to replicate and it will do whatever it takes to make us blind to everything that might interfere with the achievement of its objective.

So the depth of our attraction for someone is not a guarantee for a lasting and fulfilling long-term relationship. Nature doesn't have the words long-term and happiness in its vocabulary. That's why in the first months/years of a relationship, your analytical mind won't step up and tell you what it really thinks about what you're doing. Only after a while will you receive warning signs from your mind. So you finally wake up months/years later wondering how is it possible that you got involved with that man in the first place. Or, as people like to ask, "What were you thinking?". The honest answer would be..."I wasn't."

And here's an even bigger problem: men are even less aware than women when it comes to these things. So he may say things like "I love you", only to realize a few months/years later, that you're not The One for him.
