Males tend to think too much, too fast, and too far ahead as compared with females. Very often this translates into passion, which is essentially a function of lust. (Revisionist thinking has explored that it could be equally a function of the desire for a stable relationship, though more thinking has to be done there to assert this) Females, on the other hand, are biologically configured not to commit themselves so quickly, because they bear the consequences literally. This, however, fails to account for the behavior of "loose" females who engage categorically in one-night stands-- a behavior which we shall ignore for now, though the most apparent explanation would be that there are always deviations from the norm, especially where the diversity of genetic character is concerned.

The result of this divergence between males and females implies, if rather irrationally, a likewise divergence toward the tail-end of the relationship: for if the male thinks too far ahead into things he runs the higher risk of thinking faster away from things the moment the fuel of passion runs out. In other hands, males enter a relationship on a higher note but leave it sooner, before the female has reached her own climax, or before she even reaches that higher note, depending on which is higher. I will assert that it is precisely these divergences that is the basis of the many conflicts we see in any relationship because, amongst other things, they lead to misinterpretations and differing expectations placed on the significant other, who incidentally is very often not as significant as we would like to think.

In mathematical terms, where the vertical axis represents passion and the horizontal axis time, the male's graph would be that of a cos X graph while a female's would be that of a sin X graph. The points of intersection represent the points in time where the relationship would be in its full blossom.

It should be noted, however, that those are the basic graphs applied across the board. Relationships are highly dynamic and are very prone to, for better or for worse, influences of external events as well as the characters of those involved. For example if both male and female are very excitable lovebirds the graphs would tend to be A cos nX and B sin nX respectively, where n is a real number >1. In extreme cases the graphs would tend toward chaotic expressions of art, belonging notably to the tan nX family of graphs. Where graphs tend toward imaginary functions, like for example |square-root [-f(x)]|, all functions of passion, and indeed the whole structure of the relationship itself, is taken to be purely a function of one's own imagination.

ME: Why'd you break off with that girl of yours. She seemed a nice girl. She even went to look for you while we were watching soccer.
FRIEND: But she always diet. I hate girls who do that. Do you like them?
ME: You damn gay lah why she diet then you dont like.
FRIEND: Do you like it when the girl tells you she doesnt want to have lunch. Then you're going to have it without her.

Hahaha. Truly a classic.
