Tom Leykis says that the men in this situation should thank those women. Because everyone who walks away from one of the "honest, clever, educated, sensitive types" merely contributes to their overall success. When they return years later, we can smile and telll them "Sorry sweetie, but I'm now succesful enough that I can afford a newer, younger model. I have no need for you anymore." It isn't about the newest, younger model. I wish it was, but it isn't. It's about unrequited love. It's a theme that occurs in literature, song, and theater for all of written history. It's horrible to be in love with someone that doesn't love you back. I know this isn't an exclusive domain for males, but love is a horrible feeling when it isn't returned. It is a feeling that is tolerable though. What is almost intolerable, is the feeling of being loved and that love being betrayed. It's almost unforgivable. That is what I was talking about. It has nothing to do with a bigger and better model. The feeling never goes away, no matter how much you try. Perhaps, but the point in Tom Leykis' speil was about how getting involved too early would have hampered his success and he'd not be where he is today if his high school unrequitted love had taken his invite to the prom. His other points are how 'many' women are like the ones he described and since they are only out for one thing, he makes no apology for being out for the one thing 'many guys' are said to be out for. At least, he says, he's honest about what he wants. And that's for her to leave just as soon as the sex is over.
