You're always polite, I've yet to see you attack or insult anyone, which I approve of because I think being rude on the internet, when we should be sharing ideas and thoughts, gathering as many points of view and as much information as possible, is pretty moronic.<br /><br />Especially by acting that way in the PUA community, you create a difference between yourself and the rest of the crowd, which is why I remembered you so easily when you first commented here.Poetry of Fleshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871932715491205605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-90538514354128324042009-07-13T20:20:32.078-07:002009-07-13T20:20:32.078-07:00yeesh.

I've been enjoying your blog for a b...Hey Dan,<br /><br />I've been enjoying your blog for a bit now as well.<br /><br />I don't attribute my social success to my ability to play the game or, heh, my blowjob skills.<br /><br />I've been told that people enjoy my company because I make them comfortable, I make them feel like they can tell me anything and I will never judge them. They find me confident and honest, always willing to help, secure in my own skin, always introspective and easily shifting between playful and serious.<br /><br />But these are things I am naturally, things I mostly haven't had to work on. To compliment me on these things seems odd and undeserved. They aren't things I focus on, for the most part.<br /><br />But game playing and sex, these are things I've had to learn, had to battle with. These are things I've earned, things I'm still actively working on... which makes them a major focus of this blog. I've had pretty bad social anxiety my entire life, to the point of ulcer-like symptoms and breakdowns. I've been the loser, the socially awkward kid, the sore thumb, the weirdo, the loner. That I've been able to (mostly) overcome that... it's nice.<br /><br />But I haven't fully accepted myself. I'm too dualistic for my own tastes, and it drives me up the wall more often than not. I'm trying so hard to consolidate my predatory nature (that I wrote a little about in this post) with my compassionate one. For years, I thought that no one consciously played these sexual and social games, that I was this odd duck that was too analytical and hard, that no one would ever understand me, that if I attempted to explain it (like I tried with GV8), that they would stare at me blankly or become disgusted with me (both have happened repeatedly in the past).<br /><br />Finding the PUA community was a bit of a godsend, meeting other people that do what I do, even though the majority of them are men. Being able to discuss these things with like-minded people without fear of being called a sociopath or a manipulative bitch is wonderful.<br /><br />But it doesn't address my need for kindness, for protecting, for caring, for loving. It doesn't work with my need to be a loving daughter and sister, with the late night phone calls from friends needing an ear or advice. It doesn't work with going clubbing with female friends and protecting them from unsuitable males who would game them. <br /><br />I feel alone and caught, I feel like I'll never fit in with any one group, with any one person, and that there will constantly be that disconnect between any significant other and myself because of how I've made myself, that I can get sharks or sheep in my bed or my life, but never a blend between the two.<br /><br />I write of the sex and the games because I need to work it out in my head, I need to publically acknowledge it and examine it. I try to write of the pain, of the caring and compassion, but it's harder for me because it feels like I'm being so very weak by caring as much as I do or by letting certain things hurt me when I should know better.<br /><br />I know I'm more than sex and games. I know I'm more than my need to love and protect, or my need to submit and serve. It's just a matter of bringing them together.<br /><br />And that was, as usual, entirely too long, but I was thinking about this for awhile last night.Poetry of Fleshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871932715491205605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-25600818364690767482009-07-09T18:19:44.632-07:002009-07-09T18:19:44.632-07:00Never met you, but I enjoy your blog.

I sometimes get the feeling you attribute your social success to your ability to play the game and your Mad Blowjob Skillz. Has it ever occurred to you that people might like you because...well, because you're a cool, interesting person?<br /><br />I like you, and I don't give a shit about your ability to draw the Alpha Male's attention. And I've never met you so I can't be blinded by your sexual abilities. I just think you're interesting and articulate. Surely, I can't be the only one.Dan_Brodribbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026291343082142533noreply@blogger.com
