Caveman

The possibilities for women and men to misunderstand each other are endless and could be funny in an absurd kind of way if one was not involved oneself…

Caveman has a simple structured personality when it comes to the female species:
#1:If the female he wants is around and he has time and strength enough and the hormone level is right, he just wants to get as close to her as possible (inside her is best), release his biologically caused stress and go to sleep afterwards.
#2:If she is not around he puts his feelings on the shelf or any other place he thinks useful ( a toolbox would be handy…)and saves them for later. Impractical things like unproductive longing are just a waste of energy needed for really important things like competing with other members of the male species or killing an elephant.
He will find nothing missing - that is if he has an opportunity to level his hormones regularly and feels the woman is his save possession.
#3:If not he will try and get her (back) by impressing her with all his male qualities ( a loud voice, a heroic deed, a strong smell, a big wallet or a shelf set up in 5 minutes).
In this he needs to succeed quickly because without immediate success (getting the woman in the cave and proceeding as mentioned in #1)he loses interest and goes off to chase another representative of the female species or does
#4:In between trying to drag women into his cave, by the hair if necessary, he needs “time out” from all the exhaustion caused by everything mentioned in #1-3. Time out is best spent either hunting something which is not as hard to get as a female (deer/fish/lions and tigers) or socializing with other cavemen talking cavemen topics in cavemen language or sleeping.

Caveman’s life would be easy if it was just about #4. His biologically caused need to find the right balance between #1-4 gives him a hard time and weren’t it for the hormones, he could just not be bothered.
