I sort of let this cartoon hang here a bit until I am able to collate my thoughts on it. I read somewhere that men love when there is hope and women love long after it is gone...Men simply leave when they are unhappy and being in a circle of guy friends caught up between gal friends, I couldn't help but be sandwiched between the perennial misunderstanding between the sexes in the aspect of relationship, love and commitment.
I am no expert in this subject and so for quite a time after one big failure, I find myself involved in several meaningful platonic relationships. I have observed and confirmed from my guy friends, that men after quite some time in relationships eventually get bored. Often, they make subtle moves to give the girls the excuse to leave them and most the time, this befuddles the girl, clueless of the reason why there are tell-tale signs that the relationship is near its end. As how a favorite guyfriend puts it, "Only a scumbag will initiate a break-up. It's an unpleasant situation but we always give the girl a graceful exit."
That's why love is a commitment. You stay even though you feel like you will "cut and run." There was a study in psychology that men after 25 years of age, are more likely to commit because the frontal cortex of the brain has completed its development. Staying away from men until they are 25 is probably a good choice -- but then each person's mind, maturity and perpective in life has a pace and design of its own.
