    It’s risk vs harm:

    Men suffer from higher risk (non-consensual alimony, scams, and catfishing (etc) are all too damn common) but lower harm (these are all nasty, but manageable if you look after yourself and follow basic safety).

    Women suffer from lower risk (violent men are not as common as the media makes out) but much higher harm (sorry but dead or trapped in physical abuse trumps the lot, not much you can do to protect against these).

    Psychology says the women are going to be a lot more cautious (we fear big losses with low odds more than small losses with high odds).

    Gents, just take it on the nose that cautious ladies are playing a smart numbers game. Ladies, make sure to make it up to the gents later on in the relationship (we love chocolates too, especially the “sorry I suspected you of murder” kind).

    We are such small and limited things that this is no great surprise. We do not wander through life blind, more we drift through life bereft of senses (and indeed, sense!).

    The world we see is an echo of an illusion concocted by crude senses, and guided by a thought process that (while beautiful) is limited in what it can conceive.

    Still, like a flower anchored to earth and at the mercy of all around it, we bloom and blossom to the delight of much around us - we play our part in the chaotic heartbeat of all around us.

    So it’s not all cosmic apathy and horror, more blissful optimism with a hint of cosmic humour.
