He's not frustrated by not getting the girl, he fears the girl because she awakens his manly instinct and wants her out of his life because she challenges his comfort zone. He'S GOT the girl any time he wants her, remember she does call him at work to come over and grope her, but as the womanly guy just learning about manhood he doesn't want her. It's when BAM he gains control of his personality and merges the two halves the he finally realizes he wants her.

You missed it completely.

Hmmmm. Perhaps you should see it again, and listen closely to the "weak" alter ego's dialogue. Further, the "strong" alter ego appears only AFTER she shows up. But it is only the "strong" side that gets the attention.

Strength, technically, is not being strong, but submitting to what SHE wants. So he kills off mr strong, and she is suddenly tender. Come on, my point has validity - especially if you get the film and slow mo through the scenes that "flicker" - the subliminal joke becomes very evident then...
