I are likely to differ from most males on the subject of a sure matter: The ladies that almost all of my male buddies name troublesome, cussed, and unreasonable are those I discover really compelling.
After I meet somebody at a celebration I’ve discovered fascinating after which point out her to a good friend later, I typically get responses like, “Actually? Susan? Sort of a b****, don’t you suppose?” After I press them on why they saddle her with that label, the responses are one thing like this:
“She’s a bit of intense.”
“Not precisely a shrinking violet.”
“She comes on a bit of sturdy.”
“She’s fairly cussed.”
“She’s a bit of unreasonable.”
“She’s form of aggressive.”
The reality is, I like a lady with a powerful perspective. I discover it horny. One who’s keen to make a scene. Trigger a fuss. Storm out of a gathering. Or a date.
Inform a man to go eff himself. Or a whole room. Or her mom. And father. And all the household.
So long as it’s over precept. If she’s keen to take a stand on a difficulty she’s not versatile over, I’m all ears. I could not agree, however I respect her ardour.
This isn’t about excusing somebody’s selfish conduct, or condoning self-importance, and most definitely not abuse. That is about saluting somebody who’s not keen to adjust to the established order — who’s finished her considering, has a powerful perspective, and isn’t going to let it’s ignored.
Somebody who’s finished taking part in by the foundations of a recreation that doesn’t have her finest pursuits at coronary heart. Who’d relatively get fired, be alone or lose a good friend than condone some infuriating slice of patriarchy in her life?
And a whole lot of males don’t like that. It doesn’t fly nicely with their plans. However she’s bought different plans.
I’ve met ladies who’re simply making an attempt to “behave,” who not often communicate up, and are pleased to simply be wallflowers and let males do all of the speaking. And I by no means wished to this point and even be buddies with a single certainly one of them. It is not horny.
Some appeared pleased to simply hitch their carts to another person. To be part of his plan. Tag alongside. Whether or not or not it had something to do with their values.
However I desire a girl who’s simply positive and not using a man. That’s horny. Who doesn’t want him to be pleased? Nor even some man singing her praises in some essay. She’s too busy carving out her personal place on the earth. And if she occurs to fulfill a person or not, it’s all okay. As a result of she’s bought sufficient occurring together with her personal life to feed her personal happiness.
And that’s essentially the most compelling high quality of all.
