An Incomplete Education
I’ll probably get skewered from every angle for this,1 but what the heck. A pal asked me what I know about women for a project he’s doing. Here’s 10 minutes’ worth. Covered with grains of salt like:
- Yes, a lot of this goes both ways. Obviously. Give it a rest.
- Yes, some of these you won’t agree with. That’s why you and I never dated. Right? Exactly.
Anyhow, for what it’s worth:
Great and thoughtful post. Thanks Merlin. I am somewhat of an O-G of the seduction community (which helped me get my very wonderful wife that I have now), it was funny to see you mention them.
I think that one of the common misconceptions about living the things you propose is that it in someway goes against our manhood. This is simply not true. Your post hints at this, but does not make it explicit.
It is because of our stolid and unbending strength that a woman can dump huge amount of stress, issues, personal questions and see us as the rock that can absorb it all. I’ve been surprised time and time again how I can have conversations with my wife where she cries and rants for an hour straight and I say nothing. At the end she smiles, hugs me and starts dancing around the house again. It takes strength as a man to be baraged with that much emotionally charged energy, and stay straight.
It is because of our strength as men that we feel totally comfortable never lying to our wives. I’ve had to tell my wife that those shoes don’t look good, that her mom is pain, that her cookies were burnt. That works because way more often, I have the inner confidence to tell her how much I deeply love her and how much she brings to my life.
It takes an extraordinarily strong man to live to these things. To quote Glee, “When you are truly cool, you don’t have to bring others down.” When you are truly strong and have integrity, there’s nothing worth lying about, and the cunnilingus comes easy!! (hehe :0P)
