Love has become one of the most puzzling aspects of life. It is supposed to be the most powerful force, yet it seems more fragile than ever. Relationships today feel like a game of survival—get what you want and leave before you get hurt. But why is love falling apart?
The Mystery of Women
Women love deeply. When a woman decides to love, she gives it her all. She stays even when things get tough, even after the falls, heartbreaks, and disappointments.
It is as if love is built into her nature—she does not just chase, she chooses. That choice, however, does not make her immune to pain. When she finally breaks, it is often because something pushed her there, not because she wanted to.
The Nature of Men
Men, on the other hand, seem wired differently. They chase what is new, what excites them in the moment. When a new opportunity comes, they rush for it, often leaving behind what they once had.
Unlike women, who seem to decide to love, men often seem driven by an instinct to pursue the next thing. It is as if love for them is more about movement than commitment. But is it really their fault? Or is it just the way the world has shaped them?
The Love Crisis
Both men and women have built walls around their hearts—men with masculinity, women with guarded femininity. Love has become less about connection and more about strategy.
People no longer fully surrender to love; instead, they keep safe options, backup plans, and exit routes. Divorce rates are rising. Heartbreaks are becoming expected. Trust is fading. The “love industry” is crashing, and we are all witnessing its downfall.
What Is Love Now?
If men chase and women endure, where does true love fit in? If relationships are built on fear, self-protection, and escape plans, can they really last? The love we once believed in—pure, deep, unwavering—seems to be slipping away.
Maybe love is no longer about just feelings but about understanding. Maybe it is about breaking these cycles, unlearning the patterns, and deciding to love in a world that no longer teaches us how.
If love is a game, then who really wins?
