Well, I didn't delete it. I wonder if I should have. But I'm not afraid; what will happen, will happen regardless. I just hope I haven't hurt anyone's feelings or put my foot in my mouth once too often. I am my own worst enemy. I know it's incorrect and dangerous to generalize, but my observation is that women want men who are strong, and not *overly* emotional. The definition of "overly" varies, naturally. Basically, they want men to be sensitive, not neurotic. I don't know how I can be so optimistic and so pessimistic at once -- it makes me feel almost schizophrenic at times. I generally feel that things will work out, and if they don't, it wasn't meant to be. At the same time, I believe in self-determination. How can this be? No matter how much self-examination I go through, I can't figure out this dichotomy. Is it possible for us to change our basic nature? I believe it is, and in my case (and many others), I think self-esteem plays a huge part in doing so. But is that changing the way our minds work, or simply the baseline we run on? I think the balance shifts from the latter to the former over time. That reminds me, someone in the past often accused of "using big words" (her description) to make myself feel superior; that's not the case. They're simply the most fitting words for the idea I'm trying to communicate. So to you! Not that she'll ever read this blog; or even hear the word "blog", let alone know what it means or read one.
