In "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," Milan Kundera explores the motivations behind men who engage with multiple women. He distinguishes between two types of these men based on their perceptions of women. The first group is driven by an idealized, personal vision of a woman that they seek in every woman they encounter, reflecting a static dream of love.

The second group, however, is inspired by a more transient desire to experience the diverse realities of femininity. This pursuit stems from an appreciation for the variety that women represent, indicating a more dynamic interaction with relationships. Kundera’s insights raise questions about the nature of love and desire in human connections.
