A male poet will have an inspirational “main chick.” A “main chick” is another way of describing their muse.  

Poets will not always want to give up their interest towards their romantic muse. At some point, in a real relationship, a male poet will put their interest for their muse first. 

A muse, as a noun, means a person who is a source of artistic inspiration. A muse can be a source of “inspiring fluid” required to inspire the poet to make later work. 

The artist will want to learn everything there is to know about their chosen muse. 

The artist desires to know everything about their muse. 

Most muse/artist relationships involve a sexual connection. Such a connection can keep the relationship between the muse and artist together. 

A muse can allow an artist to focus and to have a stable inspirational relationship. The relationship can possibly last forever. 

 Or the relationship can lead to miscommunication, gossip, jealousy, or even envy. On the other hand, the relationship can continue its course as if nothing happened. 

A male poet can be the lover of a female poet. The two can be together for three years and the male poet can write about the female poet for three years. 

The female poet can be dealing with self-esteem issues and an addiction to work. Such a self-esteem issue and an addiction to work can occur while being with the male poet.  

The male poet can leave the female poet for another lover and muse. That previous lover and muse can suddenly deal with boredom and depression.  

Being a muse towards a poet/artist can be a “health-scare” since the muse can be replaced. 

According to rebellesociety.com, the muse doesn’t come to a male writer when he is thinking of her or wanting her. The muse doesn’t want the attention from anyone then.  

The muse comes to the male writer when the male writer is busy loving someone else.

According to a 1999 study on PubMed, the experience of love can cause the bodies levels of serotonin to drop. Serotonin allows the person to experience a calmer, focused, and clearly thought out mind.  

Being in love with your muse can provide the artist the creativity needed to complete a project. 

According to a study from the Universe of Amsterdam, love can allow a person to develop a global, big-picture mentality. Such an experience after loving a muse can allow the male artist to experience an actual, long-term attachment to a woman.  

The same experience can allow the artist to think in a more creative, unusual way.
