Probably. Romeo is Bleeding comes to mind. Lines in it always remind me of my divorce, some of the unsaid things that certainly aren't there, and that's the point, yes?
Pheromone research comes to mind as well. It's a fascinating subject. It makes me consider the subject in light of 'species survival'. On one hand, we are rational beings, and we choose our mates with our heads. On the other hand, we are animals, and we choose our mates based on immune response. Using these two generalizations as ideals, where does that leave the majority of the populace? Settling somewhere in the middle between an ideal mate based on rational thought, and an ideal mate based on pheromone response? (I know, the idealists will hate me now.)
This is not to provide an excuse for broken promises once made, from the sublime (love you forever, I'm not cheating) to the small (I'll call you), some people just have a pattern of breaking promises. It is only my attempt to intellectually "grok" experiences I've had that defy all my attempts to rationalize them. Although they do say that women have a "better" sense of smell than men, so perhaps we are more susceptible? What do you think?
