"There is only one happiness in this life and that is to be loved" - George sand

Aurora has always been the 'unattractive, unattainable' girl throughout her whole life. No man has ever approached her with the intention of courting her, rather they approached her to learn more about her best friend. She was better known as a 'DUFF'. But now with her best friend dead and a baby depending on her, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage that will test and strengthen her character. Like most 21st century women, she views herself as a feminist. One who doesn't believe in love. She views love as a Capitalist movement created to control unsuspecting minds while breaking their bank accounts. But she finds herself falling in love with a man. Not just any man, her friends boyfriend who also happens to be her husband.

Deep In The Mud

As a man, when a woman rejects me, a woman who has captured my full and undivided attention, it wounds my ego. I would love to seem cool under the pretence that l am a ladies man and no woman has ever been able to resist my charm but that would be a lie.

One think that l have come to learn about women throughout my journey is that they are all different. With different tastes and view points. So when l hear other men say that a woman rejected them because she is a different breed makes me shake my head in disgust. We need to debunk the notion that when a woman rejects you, she is special and different from the rest

That is a misogynistic claim that bruised men with briused ego's started to make themselves feel special and to avoid the hurt that comes with rejection. That is an insult to the other women who have openly expressed their interest to you. What does that make them then? What does that ultimately make you?
