Anonymous 1: Why do guys act the way they do? Why are guys pigs?

Anonymous 2: Because we're afraid.

Anonymous 1: Afraid of what?

Anonymous 2: Our feelings. We fear loneliness and thus inadequacy. The loneliness stems from our desire to be one with a woman. That's where things get mixed up.

Anonymous 1: How so?

Anonymous 2: We try to drown the longing by frantically searching for the one.

Anonymous 1: The One?

Anonymous 2: Yeah, the one. But until we realize that no number of women can fill that void, we will forever miss the one. Too busy looking at frivolous crap like physical relations. Not stopping to look for what really matters but still feeling that longing. And the longing only gets stronger with every woman they are with. And the cover up gets more intense until they burn out or give up.

Anonymous 1: "They"? What happened to "we"?

Anonymous 2: I don't practice what they do. You see, I've realized this. That's why we're having this conversation.

Anonymous 1: Okay. What do you mean by burn out or give up?

Anonymous 2: Burn out or give up. Sorry, I should have said burn out and give up. Well, how I see it, one can give up in three ways. When you burn out you give up, start looking at things differently, and try something new because obviously the old way isn't working. When one simply gives up, more often they will continue in their lifestyle only to live a lonely and unfulfilling life both emotionally and spiritually. And then there's that unfortunate possibility that when one gives up they go into a deep depression and die believing that they were meant to be alone.

Anonymous 1: Why aren't women like this?

Anonymous 2: Some are. But those that aren't, I suppose aren't afraid of confronting their feelings. That's just a guess of course. I can't speak for women. You'd have to ask them.
