You suspect me of trying a psychological gelding do you?
Well-we could do with a little of that.Have you not noticed how the eager ones ruin it for the rest of us.
A tendency to celibacy would make the cunning ones pause for thought.They sure do run rings around those who chase them too hard.Playing hard to get is all very well but it gets difficult to sustain in the face of a degree of insouciance and if we
banded together and ridiculed the rate-busters we may well get our cake and eat it at prices which would leave something over for other things such as beer and fags and gambling.
Celibacy is not to be sneered at.I know that the cunning ones will do that.They would wouldn't they.
When a man sneers at it it is obvious he is under tutelage.Women respect resistance and whatever they may say they are contemptuous of clingers and "yes-my-loves".Of course,as you pointed out somewhere,one has to make oneself attractive to them to pull it off.You could have then clawing at your trouser legs if you are good enough and that can't be bad now can it?
Just look at the plight of the "rushers" after a year or two.It's pitiful.I know dozens who can't even smoke in the house that they have slaved to pay for.But they can breathe the fumes out of tins of paint and skin their knuckles on their Black and Decker Workmates.Ask anybody who works in Casualty what type of sadness regularly appears at their receptions on a fine weekend.Quite a few lifeless or on stretchers and quite a lot broken and bleeding.And they are all skint.
Think about it mate.Chavs are not as daft as they look.
There is a minimum cost to procreation, a necessary display of fitness or of a willingness to be a provider so as to enjoy the rewards.
There was always a much too high cost to benefit ratio for me to become overly involved.
I couldn't justify the behaviour given the end result or the ephemeral benefits.
Any union requires a loss of individuality or a suppression of self.
The willingness and the need to unite are proportional to the individual's sense of self-worth and character.
The interesting thing is that indifference is also the definition of confidence.
Power attracts even if it is in the form of self-discipline.
Confidence is a form of indifference concerning specific instances, being certain that other opportunities will be taken advantage of or totally unconcerned if any will.

Quote:Its worth a read if you're a Henry Miller fan, Bella - though despite persistent misattribution, it was not written by Miller, but by a freind of his, the self-styled Caresse Crosby. Usin' the characters and settin's from Miller's Tropic of Cancer, Crosby cranked out the piece essentially on commission for a wealthy Anerican pornography collector. Miller not only knew of the deception, but originated and participated in it.
The history behind the commercial knock-off is the most interestin' thing about it, really. Crosby, descended from New England's original Pilgrims, was a major figure in the New York/Paris literary scene, and an abosolutely fascinatin' broad in her own right.
Interesting.
I should read it then.

Quote:Is that all that this was? I had hoped it was going to go further. Maybe discuss a little further what needs to be done or where we go on from that point. If that's all this was then I can live with the dissapointment, I'd just hoped that there was something further to this discussion. Mea culpes.
Then maybe you should contribute an on-topic opinion.
