yes.

you have a great point here with the “men who love women” thing. i can bring all sorts of examples to mind about how right you are

Interesting blog title, Elsa – couldn’t miss this one!

You’re right, and wise to warn your daughter on this topic, young as she is.

The operative word here is “like”, and it’s something that some men and women don’t even consider in the mad race to copulate/procreate!

And, when you find someone you love, and decide that they do like women/men in general – whichever is appropriate, it’s wise to make sure you especially LIKE your chosen one, before making serious commitment. It’s a fine line, but an important one, I’ve always thought, between loving and liking – and loving doesn’t always ensure liking, odd as that may sound.

Yes I know LOTS of women like that. And men too. But it seems different with the women. Maybe this is just my experience, but the women who say “oh you just wait,” they seem bitter in general. Whereas the cock-blocking women (who just want the man) and the cock-blocking men) don’t have that generally bitter pall about them.

I remember a period in my twenties when I could NOT catch a break from those sort of bitter women. I encountered them everywhere and they had their missiles directed at me, big time. Granted, twentysomethings can be a bit annoying, but this was, like, damn! Moon opposite Pluto maybe…

CD I think you have my life, LOL! Well, not really, but I too have Moon opposed Pluto and I completely relate to your experiences. Maybe it’s a Moon/Pluto thing.

Elsa, looooove this topic. You are a great mom to provide that insight to your daughter. That’s the whole reason for having experienced suffering that makes us wiser-to share it with other women, especially our daughters. Jennifer, that is a domestic abuse offender who is a control freak. That is a man who has a very weak ego, & low self esteem. That sort of man is actually threatened by how wife, and probaly lots of other people as well.Here is one example of what, in my experience, on type of acting out a man who is jealous & resentful towards, or even hateful and using of women is sometimes. Take a “bi”/gay male who has his wife as his “beard” while living the “down low” scene on the side with other “straight” men. At the same time, he may have a mistress-the younger and more inexperienced the better, and using her as a hook to get with younger good looking, fit males and telling her it’s simply “swwinging” and he is not gay. Meanwhile, he is not even capable of being a boyfriend to his female Mistress or able to perform with her without viagra, plus avoids it at all costs. Now that’s a man who has mixed, negative, and probably even hateful feelings towards women. I have warned my daughters as well. Kudos Elsa!! Again great topic!
