Thus, that man has already proved himself more capable than the anyone else; to one-up him is to effectively one-up everyone + him. <br /><br />Let's have "U" represent you, "M" represent a woman's boyfriend, and "A" represent all other potential men. <br /><br />In your axiom, you are successful in winning a single woman when U > A. That's fair enough.<br />But to say that stealing a taken woman is achieved when U > M is not going far enough; in actuality, U > M > A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
