“男人不坏,女人不爱”? (zt)

来源 :http://www.yayabay.net/blog/space.php?uid=5213&do=blog&id=7325


当年我还在读书的时候,有位美国朋友神秘兮兮地告诉我她买到一本好书,题目是《规则:如何征服白马王子的秘密攻略》(The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right),作者是爱伦芬 (Ellen Fein) 和雪莉施乃德( Sherrie Schneider)。书的中心意思其实非常简单:两位作者认为男人享受追求爱人的乐趣,如果在两人交往中女人显得太热情、太急切,男人会失去兴趣。本书出版之后,舆论大哗。有人挑战说,两位作者一个是会计,一个是自由专栏作家,根本不具备讨论这个问题的资格。也有人指责她们“反女权主义”或者是“操纵玩弄男人”。可是,两人不但在美国电视上为自己辩护、并且列举很多按照她们的忠告行事而成功的例子,而且一鼓作气,又出版了之二(约会的更多规则)、之三(关于婚姻的规则)和与时俱进的之四(网恋规则),可见她们还是拥有相当多的读者的。

想起这本书是因为最近读到一条有趣的新闻:纽约一家“约会教练”机构宣称,男人如果被女人看成“老好人”(Mr. Nice Guy), 那绝对是死路一条,别想有任何女人对你发生兴趣。这家公司的论调竟然也和上文提到的异曲同工:他们说,女人多半口是心非,她们其实也很享受追求男人的乐趣,那些自我中心的男人才是她们的最爱。据说,女人对好好先生不满的原因主要有以下几条:乏味无聊、软弱无用、甚至缺乏男子汉气以致两人的性别角色颠倒等等。这家公司还声称,对女人过分言听计从、容忍对方一切无理要求的男人可能小时候和母亲的关系很接近,也可能是因为他们的父亲是不负责任的花花公子,所以才在成年之后如此表现。

当然,这是生意人的宣传广告,他们未必见得有心理学或社会学方面的专业训练。而且他们的客户多半是欧美族裔,文化方面的差异不在他们的考虑范围之内。再说,恋爱(dating)和结婚是两码事,人在不同的年龄阶段可能也有不同的择偶标准和条件。对于我这种“平生不识绮罗香”的人,以上新闻的有趣之处只是在于有那么多人关注恋爱 、婚姻之类的问题,又有那么多公说公有理、婆说婆有理的答案。爱情,可能真的是人类生活中永恒的主题和谜团吧。
