Gravity

WARNING: This post may contain brief allusions to science.

Imagine yourself in one of those social settings that we've all been in. You know, the one where after some activity people are gathered around talking. People are smiling, laughing, and there is always someone that is at the center of attention.

Now here comes some science - its called the aggregate matter property. You see, matter has a tendency to come together in order to form a more stable state. Suns condense and planets form as a result of this process. Gravity, the final stabilizing influence, is the result of a large enough mass. That's the very simplified version, by the way. This also occurs within society.

Some guys are unstable like free-floating matter in space. They need attention. They simply cannot feel comfortable without it. Therefore, they develop cunning arts whereby to attract the more attractive side of our species. These can be peculiar hair and/or clothing styles and a loud personality - we all know what I mean. These men are essentially good, but they are not stable as illustrated by that little science example. It's simple psychology. Women like being entertained and they like to be happy, and there is nothing wrong with either. The problem lies in the fact that those men who are stable and do not feel that need to be the center of attention are neglected by women and seen as dry or unfriendly when, in reality, they are neither.

In fact, most of these self-sustaining men of true character are witty, charming individuals who need only be given the opportunity to show the greatness of who they are. They have amassed 'gravity', if you will, not by being the constant center of attention, but by self-mastery. They know who they are and have a sense of purpose. That is modern nobility - chivalry at its best.

Do not be deceived by the social aggregate matter property. The choice is yours: satiate the unbalanced and unstable man's needs and be used and possibly enter a relationship that will be just that, or be mature enough to admit this truth and align yourself with that self-sustaining virtue of chivalry.

Then, and only then, will ours not be...chivalry in the wind.
