But who are we kidding, guys want to get into girl’s pants all the time, just as girls want guys with heavy wallets. Just a little turnabout and fair play, I suppose.
Really shows that at the base, we’re all selfish animals. People always try to squeeze these base instincts into socially-accepted practices. “It’s acceptable to like a person for this reason but not that reason.” But seems to me that at the end of the day, human mores and customs are just a false veneer tacked on top of self-serving motives. My point is that we shouldn’t resent each other’s blatantly selfish motives simply because we’ve suddenly realized they’re being selfish. People behaving selfishly, that’s just reality, like it or not.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been in the position of resenting the person wanting to learn English. And Hell knows, I’ve certainly resented chicks plenty of times for not sleeping with me. This may just be some Jerry Maguire philosophizing that I’ll regret in the morning, but maybe we’d all be happier if there was some way to come to grips with our common selfishness, other than saying it’s unacceptable simply because it’s selfish.
