I just watched another 'estrogen' movie where the man perseveres despite all obstacles to get the woman he feels is 'the one.' I wonder.....is this Hollywood or would real men really persevere?

Thank you for your honesty. I have to ask...why would you NOT persevere? No judgement. I am just wondering.

Was this on TV today, or at the movies? If it was on TV, was it some movie where at the end he goes to this woman's house and claims she put a spell on him when she was 10, and she needs to undo it? LOL I just saw the ending, but it was clearly one of those movies where he chased all over after this girl. Even paid a huge amount for a plane ticket at the end to get on the plane to look for her. And of course, he won her.

My name is not Lancelot.

Call it the law of unintended consequences, the far swing of the over-the-top feminist movement.

I'll pursue, but I ain't gonna make a fool out of myself.

No, it was a movie I saw on Netflix called 'Listen to Your Heart.' Regardless, the theme is the same. I was just wondering if real men would really do this.

Men are simple creatures that respond well to positive reinforcement.

There HAS TO BE positive and constructive effort on YOUR part to keep us going...
that generally needs to be progressive and expanding or at least once up to a given level that it remain there.

Some women (and men) can manage this and still keep it casual. Some can't.
Some women (and men) won't want to keep it casual but won't know how to communicate that progression.
