I believe that since the sexual revolution, women have been exerting their masculine energy moreso and men have been responding in a more feminized manner. The tendency of nature is towards balance after all. Perhaps this is even a good thing and allows us the ability to experience our 'minority energy' to the point where we can become more enlightened. I do think its taken a bit too far though. Women and the revolutionary-based neo-liberalism has over-reacted and hence the proliferation of effeminate males. I watch on TV sitcoms and commercials and I see men being portrayed as loveable lugs, and women as our much more wise maternal caretakers, because you know every man's just dying for a woman to mother him and is hopeless without one.
I believe in the masculine oriented warrior/solace archetype of male/female relationships. (the feminine corrolary is the nurturer/provider archetype) Men are the warriors. We are geared to build towers and empires, hunt food, fend off Sabre tooth tigers, and to compete with other men to ensure the strongest genes and the continued survival of ourselves and our progeny. This is how we are wired, and inevitably how we express our natural energy.
Women were meant to build webs of relationships, nurture our progeny, and heal and provide emotional support for men. In short, Men project their energy and deal with physical and external stimuli, whereas women reflect their energy internally and deal with the emotional and internal stimuli. Men also take more risks, and as such will travel farther from home, memorizing the surrounding area, whereas women tend to me more localized. There's much more to it of course, but if you've the time and the inclination, I suggest reading "The Moral Animal" by Robert Wright. Most people will recommend "The Selfish Gene", but I like Wright's book better.
5. You also did answer a 1 of my questions. Instead you gave me your flowery prose, although enjoyeable to read I am still interested in knowing your truths.
Sorry, but which questions did I not answer? I'll try to answer them more to your satisfaction later.
6. You must of been a philosophy major before you dropped out...correct. You followed Socrates maybe....
No actually. I read Plato's Republic and Diologues and was enthralled with the Socratic method, because it seems to me the purest and most natural way to acquire and synergize knowledge into wisdom and understanding. The other thing I respect about greek philosphy is the perspective that I found in two parables I once heard...
A young man came to Aristotle and asked for his tutelage. A. took the young man to the river and upon wading into the middle of it, he placed the young man's head under water for a number of minutes. When he allowed the young man to come up for air, the young man, now gasping for breathe asked why A. had done that?
A. simply responded that when the young man yearned to know as much as he had yearned for air, A. would teach him.
Alexander the Great came upon a man lying under the tree and spoke to him. The man was Diogenes and Alexander was so impressed by the man's wisdom and modesty that he declared to Diogenes:
"Speak what you wish of all my kingdom and I shall grant it to you"
Diogenes replied,"Could you get out of my way, you're blocking my sunlight."
I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea. Most of my other philosophy has been developed over time and by picking things up as I went along. Mostly my studies have given voice and corporreal form to that which I already knew was true intuitively. You yourself don't seem to be a stranger to Philosophy either...
7. Thanks for the wish of fortune in my growing relationship. I met her in a night club which is where I hunted at. Our eye's met accross the room and it was a flash of energy that went between us. I watched her walk with her little sister around the club and to the bathroom. Then back again. She looked at me and cast her eyes downward. Some goober came and asked her to dance and I watched the way she danced with him and new this was the one for me. Her ability to bend to a man in a passionate and sensual way was supreme. I told my buddy I had to have her.
I waited for her to come off the floor and went over to her and stopped right in front of her. I looked her in the eye and then took her hand and took her to the dance floor. For the rest of the evening she was by my side after that. I walked her out to her car and didn't even kiss her that night. I got her number and took her email address. As soon as I got home I emailed her one of my special emails. Oh I had laryngitis the night we met.
and she responded:
Hi C ,
Thanks for the thoughtful message. It means a lot to have someone speak with appreciation and sincerity. Last night, I felt that no one else was even around when we were together. Time and my breath had stopped several times in your presence. It really is a wonderful feeling. Honestly, I was starting to feel that I would never experience that again with someone. It is a shame to start to get jaded when it comes to that. Thank you for just being yourself. Even if you never sent me a message or called me I still would have been so thankful for that evening because I feel alive again. Not just existing but feeling alive. The fact that you are man enough to send a thoughtful message makes you even more appealing to me.
You hit upon three things that are the heart and soul of what game I have.
1) I recognize quality and practice self-control. I think we're both man enough to decline a woman's invitation to her boudoire if we don't want to. I don't hunt what not worth catching. I didn't think there were any worth-while women at clubs, but hey I guess that's just one more misjudgement. I thank you that I know better now.
2) I always build repoire and show depth. I know the power of the written word (especially a well-written word) and the positive expression of sentiment. I'm a naturally empathetic person anyway, so I just use that to my advantage. I get in her head, reaffirm my opinion of her, but always feigning pain and difficulty at doing so. Before long I'm telling her how I'm reading her and exactly how she feels and from then on all there is is the power of suggestion. Bing. Bang. Boom.
3) I always endeavor to isolate/captivate her totally. I know the power of sentiment to suspend time and create whole new worlds. I take every moment I'm with a girl and lay claim to it. My philosophy about it is that for the time we are together it is only us. Time will pass, we will die, the world will spin, but through our time together we enjoy immortality, because not even death itself can wrench this moment from us. Our time together is an island in a sea of calamity, and we alone dwell in this niche I carve out of time and space. Of course, I can do that all by myself, but just as you do, I bring her into my world.
One more thing on the importance or unimportance of time....
If we had met at another time in our lives we would of blown it.
Bingo. I truly believe that when we are ready and can most grow from our relationship with another, that person will find their way into our life.
And the rest cyrano is what dreams are made of!
Well spoken.
