The book is great. I’m trying to make peace with the fact that I am probably not a woman and the book seems to be written for women. My theory is that the feminine aspect of the psyche is the creative side which we have all buried deep and far for fear about being judged.
To have people making statements about our lives it is challenging enough, because then we naturally doubt our choices. It is not until we are strong and mature that we can stand by the decisions we made and keep sustaining them without caring much about repercussions.
(When I was younger I truly wanted to be a cyclist, and one day one of the guys I used to ride with suggested it was time for me to shave my legs, like cyclists do. I was something like 19y.o., but I feel I was much younger. My mom naturally found out and she became very upset about it. In any case, it was hard to sustain the practice. I kept on riding but I did not shave my legs again. You may be able to relate to me on the fact that it is super time consuming and your legs itch like crazy!!!!)
(Oh my God, look at the conversations we are having in here!!!)
In any case, I hear you about not wanting to tell everyone in the world about your lifestyle even though you feel that you would be making them a favor, like telling them about this great stuff you found out about, and how great it is. But also I feel that some people would be like “this means you and me are going to sleep together then?”. Even considering myself a fairly open minded guy, and realizing that connection in the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual level can be more rewarding than the fleeting physical experience, sometimes it easy to go to the mindset of “that lady looks very nice and that is all I care about right now”.
It is easier to look at the facade. In the spirit of the discussion we are having, it is another way to over-generalize. X individual looks in this shape or form. We have been thought that this shape or form is beautiful, therefore, even without exchanging a single word (sometimes not even a single exchange of looks with the other), we decide we like them and feel attracted to this individual/s.
