b120 (10.16-1.2024): woo-ing vs. commitment

woo-ing vs. commitment [i]
by iwa s. woo-ed & ima committed

woo-ing vs. committed
can this be arranged?
once committed, will the act of woo-ing (maybe) change?
_____________________________
 
riddle me this: think of times when you’ve been woo-ed.  for example: when you were in the process of buying a car.  

compare the woo-ing behavior that you experienced (before the commitment) with the woo-ing behavior, afterwards.  any differences?  have you even heard from the car salesman, since?
 
·       is the military recruit treated any differently – after enlistment?

·       is romantic (woo-ing treatment) different:
  o   from crush-to-boyfriend?
  o   from boyfriend-to-cohabitant?
  o   from boyfriend/cohabitant-to-fiancé?
  o   from boyfriend/fiancé-to-husband?
  o   from honeymoon-to-reality?
 
many will attempt to convince you that life will be sooooooo much better, if you'll just suck-it-up and  commit, dammit!

...but...

have you ever heard of any individual who was (successfully) woo-ed into a commitment, only to find-out that he/she was treated better during the pre-commitment phase?

* personally, i know of many, many who took the woo-ing bait, realizing (too late) that commitment was (at best) a trap.
