Personality unattractiveness of Bendeguz
Hardline political views:
The subject of this analysis has many psychological aspects which he deems to be unattractive to the opposite sex. The first we shall look at is his hardline political views. In holds himself to be a Fascist. Though he is not one in the most traditional sense it is undeniably true that in the majority of values he holds true. This is reflected in his day to day life, as he will support and remain obedient to certified authority and will not stand up for ’rights’ in such a situation but instead remain subservient, especially if the certified authority is a servant of The State (Government forces in the form of officials, police officers, military personnel, etc.). The subject believes that rules exist for reasons and should not be broken, and looks down on those who break the laws of The State. This state of mind comes into an especially fiery personification after attending what he calls “alcohol and narcotic bordellos”, more commonly known as the teenage house party. Finally our subject remains obedient to his parents and has never done anything more than raise his voice to them, feeling great shame afterwards.
This support of the concept of authority and being against teenage rebelliousness alienates our subject from his social peers in his opinion. Bendeguz is of the opinion that such behaviour is a counter to the norm expected of youths by youths. He states that under XXX year-old population has the highest proportion of protestors, or those who maintain paradigms against the ‘establishment’. As such, Bendeguz sees the situation as being hopeless, since his views are quite firmly based and in his opinion the views of the vast majority of others are against him. Thus his outlook is that a romantic relationship with any female would be impossible since they would not be able to tolerate his political values and how they influence his life.
Unreliable emotional standing:
--> Can become sad and depressed and will show the weakness
--> Not dependable to be jolly, fun, etc. on a fairly consistence basis.
Too serious:
--> Not fun to be with and wont let himself go.
--> Doesn’t drink or consume narcotics and looks down on those who do - not useful in social situation.
--> Yet at the same time not renowned for intelligence.
Abnormal Eating Habits:
--> Still cannot stand the taste of vegetables at age 17.
--> Strongly carnivorous and will prefer meat when a available.
--> Does not shy away from sugar or fat-filled filled meals and will even eat sugar raw from the packet on occasions.
--> Is a glutton and will joyfully eat great deals of food and derives a form of pride from it.
Social Recluse:
--> Will by default remain at home
--> Does not feel comfortable at parties and will often lurk on the sidelines of the action
--> Will shy away from the company of females using the unfounded argument
Lives under a rock in the world of Teenage Popular culture:
--> Doesn’t know the name of any musical bands or songs
--> Hasn’t been to any concerts of popular music
--> Doesn’t have M.S.N.
--> Doesn’t have any teenage garments (mentioned above)
Outdated views regarding women:
--> Is extensively polite and respectful to women
--> alienates them by not treating them as ‘normal’ people, but instead working more along the Victorian concept of placing the woman on the pedestal.
--> Bendeguz is prude and alienates himself from opposite sex through his open discomfort regarding sexuality and nudity, concepts which are socially open topics in contemporary youth society.
Has no experience with relationships and does not know what to do:
--> Reoccurring theme of being 17 and not even having held a woman’s hand in a romantic manner even though having desired it. If such an action - which is held without any serious regard by female contemporaries - causes concern to such a level than how could he manage anything more?
--> According to J. Sauers The Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers 97% of females and 93% of males have had some form of sexual experience (ranging from a passionate kiss to more lewd activities) or other before turning 17. He perceives that his inexperience is a negative factor, as he believes that 97% of females would be disappointed or look down on him as an amateur not to waste time on if he made any attempts to pursue them.
Bendeguz hates himself for being attracted to women:
--> Sees himself as a person who should be a shining torch of morality, and therefore desiring pleasures of the heart is wrong.
--> Believes that by being attracted to women he is insulting them, for to be victim of admiration for such a lowly and unlovable fiend as Bendeguz is an unenviable fate.
Psychological problems of Bendeguz:
Bendeguz places great importance in his psychological appearance:
--> Desires to be seen as a man of responsibility and reliability.
--> Desires to be seen as one who thinks to the future by buying his own car and start saving for a apartment already at age 17. Does not believe that such things are important to women of his age group and would be ridiculed for being so.
Possesses extensive self hatred:
--> One cannot be loved by others if one cannot love themselves.
--> Isolates himself from others = nobody likes a whinger
Is ashamed of possessing romantic thoughts and desires:
--> “One should not send an umbrella salesman to the Sahara.” - Bendeguz holds belief that he will never have a romantic relationship so will only deceive and disappoint himself by yearning/thing about things that he shall never have.
--> Condemns them to be “Thought Crimes” and tries to cleanse consciousness by firmly tapping on head whilst repeating “Exterminate Thought Crimes” until said thoughts leave and/or are replaced by other thoughts deemed ‘appropriate’.
--> Fears that if he allows such thoughts to run rampant they will only make him sick with desire and make him either (a) become more depressed, or (b) something that would damage his psychological appearance.
In belief that any clumsy attempt at making any approaches towards a person to whom he is attracted to would be seen as offensive, and would humiliate both the victim and Bendegúz .
Believe its ‘Too Late’:
--> Is firm in the belief that it is too late for him to ever learn anything and has wasted the age which is meant for experimentation and for learning the ‘rules’ of courtship.
--> According to J. Sauers The Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers 63% of Males and 48% of Females have had Sexual intercourse by age 17. Therefore Bendeguz believes that he has no chance of making a woman happy an would only become a laughing stock and loose dignity.
Is firm in the belief that he is destined to forever remain a celibate-bachelor:
--> Possibly another method of making himself an individual - attention seeking?
--> Possibly a means to not ruin his chances? In the past when Bendeguz decided that he liked a female, he would become nervous, anxious and be unable to act relaxed or normally in their presence. He would thus make a fool of himself and of course in typical faction get nowhere and not do anything. Possibly this system has been invented by the subconscious to make sure that he behaves confidently and naturally in the company of women?
--> Most likely a form of cowardice excusing him from the difficult trial of perusing a relationship. Avoiding possibility of rejection.
Finds the possibility of a member of the opposite sex being interested in him impossible:
--> If such actins where to occur he would remain oblivious and it would pass him by, or he would dismiss such actions as friendliness or the natural state of being for the other person.
--> Believes that therefore any attempt to seek the romantic attentions of a member of the opposite sex to be a hopeless pursuit so does not make an attempt at all.
Has strong moral beliefs on age difference between couples:
--> Sees an age differences greater than 2 years as immoral amongst others and as paedophilia for himself.
--> According to
www.boredofstudies.com.au survey of 268 votes (Circa 26 of May 2007) that 32.46% only minded more than a years age difference whilst 62.96% didn’t mind or preferred older/younger persons. Therefore Bendeguz alienates himself effectively from 95.52% of prospective relationships.
--> Is blind to any potential romantic interest from a person of younger age.
Wants to believe he is doomed to eternal romantic loneliness:
--> Bendeguz is willing to unashamedly create a whole list of reasons why he would be unattractive to the opposite sex in many areas
--> Confirms image of being pathetic and self pitiful in the eyes of females. Reinforces it in consciousness.
--> Further convinces himself of unviability of romantic relationship for himself and therefore further sabotages any attempts at showing romantic interest in a female before they are even made, if made at all.
