No rational explanation, except it's built-in. <br /><br />What you're describing could be a result of a conflict between our desire to want things for good, rational, respectable reasons, and the lizard section of our brain that likes 'stuff cuz it's hawt'.<br /><br />As always, guys are doomed whichever side of the equation they land on.Jirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663332104075174958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937582163976319064.post-37998938158233820032010-07-25T10:58:06.220-07:002010-07-25T10:58:06.220-07:00I remember talking about this and didn't come ...I remember talking about this and didn't come to any great conclusion. I don't quite know what the reason is...maybe genre, maybe customer driven.<br /><br />On the other hand, its not a sign of weakness to trust someone else or to realize that you don't know everything and may need a hand. Even the President, who holds the most powerful position in the free world, has advisors and needs to trust them.<br /><br />I don't think the heroine is giving in to anything other than the logical conclusion that she is not smarter than everyone...and can't do everything on her own.<br /><br />On the other hand, she shouldn't completely abdicate her hand in the decision-making process...whatever the dilema she is facing...just because she falls in love. <br /><br />A true alpha male would not be threatened by her personal power and need to squash her to feel in charge. He'd recognize her as an ally and respect her for it. Plus...maybe he'd flex a little. =)Raquel Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870113745683162915noreply@blogger.com
