“You want to know what I want? I want a girl who likes me for me. The only time girls ever give me attention is because I'm the son of a famous movie star, and because I'm a big tall Alpha with muscles; that's it. But even that doesn't provide me with any joy or happiness. I just want to find a girl who likes the same things I like, who wants to spend time with me, not because I'm a big “stud” or because of who my parents are, or because of what kind of money or status I can give her! That's it!”
<span class="mu-b">”Aww... Radjo. You're so... you're so selfish.”</span>
“What?! How is that selfish!?”
<span class="mu-b">”Because Radjo, that's not the way the world works. You're childish; but it goes beyond just wanting romantic true love. That is a good thing; and something everyone wants. But it doesn't exist. <span class="mu-s">Love is a chemical reaction</span>, it encourages newly connected creatures to stay together and breed. But it doesn't last. Even the earliest of man understood this; which is why the institutions of marriage, closeness, romantic love; everything was created to overcome this fatal flaw of evolutionary attraction. So what happens after your love chemical runs out? What do you <span class="mu-i">provide</span>? The real world is a dangerous place, everyone clawing for limited supply of everything- resources, wealth, status- even in the Hegemony, there is competition for these things. No amount of puppy love can overcome this truth. Even in a marriage of equals; the man must <span class="mu-i">always</span> provide more. In a meaningful, reproductive relationship- physically, the men provide the least- the woman gives more of her body, more of her health and safety, more of her energy and limited resources in the form of her eggs, her pregnancy- a few dozen pumps of your little dick isn't equal to that, is it, Radjo? Be honest with yourself. Is it really the same? One sperm is not worth one egg, you know this. Is it worth equal <span class="mu-i">love</span>?”</span>
“That's not the point- it's about just being together, regardless!”
