Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why men are so desperate. He begins by explaining that this behavior stems from a ubiquitous mating instinct, a biological pull common to all living beings. However, in humans, this simple biological pull is amplified a thousand times due to a deeper issue: a lack of inner fulfillment. Unlike animals, humans are characterized by consciousness and have an inner mandate to make their lives worthwhile and realize their potential. When they fail to do so, they feel like losers with a thousand unfulfilled desires, often not even knowing what they truly need to desire. This feeling of inner loss and inadequacy leads to a need for compensation. The desperation seen in men is an attempt to compensate for this inner void. Sex becomes a way to achieve something, to conquer, and to feel like a winner. By conquering a woman's body, a man can tell himself, "I had something at last and at least. I am somebody. Not that I am a complete loser. I have the woman's body." Acharya Prashant calls this the "loser's last resort." This desperation, he clarifies, is not something to be proud of; it works in a self-defeating way. The more it works, the worse it is for the individual, as it reinforces a cycle of seeking external validation for an internal problem. Regarding the difference in desperation between men and women, Acharya Prashant points to biological conditioning. For a woman, the consequences of sex can be a long-term investment and responsibility, including pregnancy and raising a child, which historically led to dependence. This evolutionary knowledge makes women more circumspect, causing them to "test the waters" before committing. This is not necessarily wisdom but a biological safeguard. He explains that both men and women are acting out their biology, but they misuse sex by expecting inner fulfillment from it, which it is not designed to provide. This misuse perpetuates the feeling of emptiness. A truly top-class relationship, he concludes, requires a different quality of human being, one who has undergone a second, real birth beyond the purely physical one.
