Win Me Over Analysis

Improved Essays
The phrases "win me over" and, "show me..." call to mind an audition. It would surprise no one to hear that between the judges and the auditioning actor there exists a power dynamic. Who would assert that the judges and the actor are coequals when the judges are the gatekeepers to what the actor wants, namely a position in a production? Analogically a similar power dynamic exists in the initial stages of the dating process where a man presents the best of himself to the lady in question in the hope that will lead to sex.

The phraseology above on the one hand straightforwardly expresses the desire for an equal despite on the other promulgating only the conditions necessary for the 'supplier side' of this particular power dynamic to acquiesce to the buyer. This is without a doubt, an uneven audition in that there is no discussion of the buyer's stipulations and conditions. Being won over with witty banter, potentially humiliating anecdotes, and by the preview of future times effectively terminates the transaction.

If I have done the requisite amount of work on myself, which is inclusive of though not limited to dressing stylishly, carrying myself with confidence, being a masterful conversationalist, working out/staying fit, chances are that a handful of women will find me attractive. The frequency of sex is directly proportional to the development of my skills with women.

Approaching women, talking to them, procuring their phone number and getting them to consent to meet - these are skills that require ample time and countless failures to develop. The subtext to all our interaction before sex is the implied promise of sex provided I continue to meet the conditions set

    In “Losing is Good for You” by Ashley Merryman, participation trophies are steering society in the wrong direction, making people feel that participation is now as good as winning. Aside from that, much more money is being spent on trophies because of the purchasing of participation trophies, not just first through third place. Most people now agree that everyone should be equal, therefore, aside from the actual awards, participating awards are now given as well to everyone. This “nonstop recognition” is causing children and young adults to not do as good on everyday activities because either way they know they will get an award. However, if the recognition isn’t given to them, they “collapse at the first experience of difficulty” making them choose other easier unethical methods like cheating or copying.…

    In, “Nobody Mean More to Me than You and the Future of Willie Jordan,” June Jordan examines the usage of language by blacks in America as well as its acceptance as a standard language. She uses Black English as a model to speak on the greater issue of the rejection of blacks in America by whites. If Standard or “White” English is the only standard language in America, then blacks are not considered or viewed as equals in America. Jordan believed that her students understood that the language that they chose to identify and speak on a daily basis was not considered the appropriate language in America but she wished to guide her students to the realization of what that entailed. She helped them re-learn the language they grew up with, pointing out the differences it has with Standard English along the way.…
