A period of mild temporary insanity, understanding men and love. This is Dr. Paul, author of
Boomer Girls, A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Dr. Paul. All right,
yes, it is a little bit like being addicted, a little bit like being mentally off the edge,
but understanding men and love, well, you kind of have to take those two items into
consideration. We all have an addiction to love. We really have. That's a necessary underlying
desire that all females and males have. When men are in love, then they need a certain
understanding from the women that are with them because, oftentimes, they become very
possessive to a greater or lesser degree. It may not be verbalized. It may be shown,
and most often it is, and they need some TLC. I know they come off like macho, but oftentimes,
that macho appearance is really there as a cover for how they feel. Oftentimes, it's
overcompensating for that feeling of insecurity that they have. They don't like to feel insecure.
All right, if you understand a man in love, you have to understand that he needs reassurance.
He needs reinforcement. Sure, he may be Mr. Tough Guy and all that, but down below, underneath
that exterior that comes off so macho...remember the little boy? It's still in there, and that's
the one you're dealing with. So understanding a man in love, well, understand that little
boy in him and you'll have a good understanding of that man in love. This is Dr. Paul. May
your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
