I saw the movie X-men first class the other night. There were 3 scenes in which I couldn't ignore.
There were three instances in the movie where a stronger more alpha mutant extended his hand for the others to join. The first scenario happened when Shaw asked the newly recruited agents to join him. The girl with the insect wings comply.
The second incident happened at the end, where Magneto extends his hands only to have mystique join him at the end.
The third being diamond girl (I don't remember her name either) joining the ranks of Magneto.
My point? Loyalty. One might claim that the first incident doesn't count since the insect girl (I don't know her name, barely remembered watching the cartoons as a kid) had just met them, so therefore her being fickle was warranted.
I digress. I wanted to show a distinct dichotomy between loyalty and time.
They are two separate entities, where the length of time does not equate to loyalty at all.
Loyalty
Is this an attribute we can only expect from men? Should we dismiss the expectation of loyalty in regards to women? Wouldn't this train of thought make it much easier for us men?
It doesn't matter if a girl has been going out with you for 5 years or 1 month. They'll always leave you when they find someone better. This line I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir, I just wanted to point out an example (even though it was only a movie) that I couldn't ignore.
I for one do not believe loyalty exists in women.
I would love to hear (mature discussion) everyone else's thoughts and opinions on this topic. Perhaps I can view this manner in a different light.
