At university, I had a friend named Ryan. Ryan had never had a girlfriend and was desperate for a woman’s attention. Ryan would offer to help any girl who was having trouble with her homework assignments. He would often sacrifice completing his own work in order to help another female student finish her assignments on time. While it is one thing to help out a fellow student, it is another to continuously sacrifice your own work in the process. Some of these girls ended up failing their final exams, having not learned the material because Ryan had done the majority of their assignments for them.

It was clear to me that it was Ryan’s hope that he might earn the affection of one of these girls through the act of continuously sacrificing himself for her. Ryan tried to buy affection by trading the only thing of value which he believed that he had to offer: himself. It did not surprise me that none of these women ever pursued a relationship with Ryan. By continually sacrificing your personal integrity for a woman, you are abdicating the very attributes which women desire in a man. By completely giving yourself away, you leave nothing left to be loved.
