Women are not merely "dangerous playthings", since playthings are not necessary. I challenge any man to go without interacting with any women; he will be miserable.
Great post Samseau.
This is so true, no matter how much men pretend or like to think that women don't have a hold over us, they truly do. For all the reasons you've explained.
I remember a period when I was younger, I got my first job out of college and was in a small town and was not meeting very many women. I was miserable/borderline depressive, it was killing me.
So much of our lives are geared toward attracting a woman, conscious or sub-consciously, that it would be silly to acknowledge it.
Going to the gym, creating wealth, status, fame, learning a language, travelling the world, the list is endless. Whilst we all do those for our advancement and enjoyment, underneath it all they're all geared to attracting women.

Women fall into their own category which deserves its own description. We can compare many things to women, but women cannot be compared to anything else.
It's an interesting paradox - whilst I need women and the love, affection and sex that they bring, they do not complete me.
Some men constantly search for happiness, or the woman who will 'complete' him and bring him happiness. However for men like us I don't think we can ever truly be 'completed.' As we will always want the next challenge and goal and to constantly strive to improve ourselves.
It reminds me of a passage from the opening scene of Apocalypto:
"The deer said, "
The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"

Additionally, gaining access to the world of women can be a man's most challenging accomplishment, or trivial act, depending on how attractive he is.
And this is why I believe women reveal a man's character.
Some days I am my own worst critic and beat myself up minor things. However when I think of all the time, effort and constant persistence I have put in to become successful with women, I am proud of myself.
There is something to be said of taking the time to acquire and learn a skill, then master and excel in it. All through your own hard-work and dedication.
Last night, I went to a bar by myself. I picked up a girl, was with her for a few hours, it didn't work out in the end due a few things. No big deal. I didn't drink and was by myself, which feels normal now. - How many guys can do this stuff?
I looked around, most guys were drunk, badly dressed and huddled around in a group of their friends. Competition?
