Art of Love

I love the art of love by Ovid. Its amuses me. I laughed when i first read this. I don't think it was meant to be humorous but it. Especially because this is about him trying to get with a woman who is already taken. Wait let me better clarify that statement. He is pursuing a woman who is already MARRIED!!! Who does that? well i guess he does and many others do that. He talks about how you should get friendly with the guy, to get good with the woman. Because then the man wont suspect anything, because hell think you are his friend. And you would never do such a thing to tarnish your friend ship with him. But i guess he doesn't really know Ovid, because Ovid did just that. So while your off canoodling with his wife the husband suspects nothing. But there are of course other parts which are humorous to me also. The other part which i like is the comparison he makes with the male and female to a hunter and their prey. "The hunter knows where to spread his nets in order to snare the stag; he knows the valley where the wild boar has his lair. The birdcathcher knows where he should spread his lime; and the fisherman, what waters most bound in fish." The comparison he makes accurate and self explanatory. Simple. He's telling you too look in places where you would want your type of woman to be. In a library if you like the studious type, park if you like the active type and e.Tc.. Just the way he spans out the whole process for you is easy to understand. Though i would never use this its good to know, how some guys think.
