What Men Want

I was watching the movie 'Bewoulf' on t.v when i noticed something that made it somehow similar to the movie 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. The great men of these two movies showed only one weakness that probably caused the conflict in the stories; the weakness they have on women.

Let's study the case of our friend Bewoulfy. He just saved a kingdom from their monster, Grendel. But then, the monster's mother is haunting him, and he understood that he had to kill her as well. But he was seduced by Grendel's mother, offering him fine things, in exchange for his love. This resulted to another monster-son, that ultimately caused Bewoulf's downfall.

As for our King Henry, who was also seduced by the smart and witty Anne Boleyn, who tainted his image by forcing him to allow the divorce between him and his then wife, Catherine of Aragon, which marked as one of the most controversial marriages in the royal history of England. He did this out of his desire to claim Anne Boleyn for his own.

What is it with women that these men wanted so badly? going as far as risking their lives and kingdom for it. was it love or infatuation? also, does it happen for real?

it's funny to know how these men who had everything risked as much with one mistake for shallow reasons. it's not that women shouldn't be taken seriously, i mean we should be taken care of, and we expect that from men. but then, is seduction really enough to let themselves fall?

for now i still don't understand the principles of this confusing gender. And maybe we women are confusing to them as well, which is probably why we were able to trick them so easily. perhaps there's just simply more to it, and i have to venture deeper into their understanding of women.
