She Was Never Meant to Complete You

by: Socrates, and the Serpent

You’ve felt it, haven’t you? That storm in her eyes you couldn’t name. A sweetness that dulled your caution. A gaze that made you forget the edge of your own sword.

Brother, this isn’t poetry. This is design.

The Ancient Warning

There is a realm of knowledge modern man has abandoned—not because it’s false, but because it’s too costly to truly know. Socrates didn’t abandon it. He walked straight into it.

What he found wasn’t hatred of women—it was a truth about them that still stalks the soul of man today. He warned, not with bitterness, but with fire-tempered reason: "Where men are forged by clarity, women are formed in layers of smoke."

Not to degrade—but to awaken. For what is veiled cannot be trusted blindly. And what enchants must first be understood—before it devours.

Beauty, the Bait

A man who understands a woman only as she appears, and not as she functions, is like a soldier seduced by the shimmer of his enemy’s blade. Beautiful. Fatal.

We are taught to chase form, and forget essence. To crave her touch, and not see her pattern.

You don’t study—you fall. And when you fall, she doesn’t catch you. Not because she is cruel. But because nature hasn’t designed her to.

She selects. She tests. She adapts. But she does not build.

That is your burden, your curse—and your crown.

The Unexamined Desire

Socrates said: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” But worse still: the unexamined desire is where most men die slowly.

Nowhere is desire more camouflaged than in the realm of woman.

It wears the mask of devotion, sings like truth, dances like destiny—but it answers to selection, survival, and timing.

You call it love. She calls it alignment.

The Mirror Test

She will not follow your softness. She will mirror your uncertainty.

She will not bow to your devotion. She will test your frame.

Not out of malice. But out of instinct.

And you—if you are not master of your soul—will be mastered by hers.

This is not abuse. This is design.

Socratic Masculinity

Socrates taught that the soul has three parts: Reason, Spirit, and Appetite.

But many men today are led only by appetite—sexual, emotional, social—and they dissolve in her glow, mistaking validation for virtue.

You must not become that man.

You were not born to orbit her. You were born to govern yourself.

Her Nature, Not Your Enemy

Socrates observed that:
- Women are attuned to the now.
- Men are burdened with the future.

She seeks stability. You must embody clarity.

She doesn’t hate your chaos. She mirrors it.

Your task is not to blame her. It’s to see her clearly—not with suspicion, but with understanding.

Legacy Over Longing

You don’t need her to approve of you. You need your soul to stand upright in the dark.

Modern men collapse not from lack of talent, but from internal rot. They read her moods better than they read their own values. They recite her scripts but forget the oaths they once made to themselves.

You think you’re being romantic. She thinks you’ve lost your edge.

The Final Question

She was never meant to complete you. She was designed to test you.

And you?

Were designed to govern yourself, to love with eyes open, to choose clarity over comfort, and to build—even when she does not kneel.

A Closing Word from Socrates

“The greatest blessing granted to mankind come by way of madness, which is a divine gift.”
— Socrates, Phaedrus

But madness must be governed. Desire must be examined. And love—true love—must be understood before it is claimed.
