They would show signs of interest but then act in an exaggeratedly ladette way (e.g. by talking about how drunk they'd been, who they'd let pick them up the night before etc). It was almost as if they were projecting a desperation they wanted someone to see through and conquer.<BR/><BR/>But as you say, like most men it wasn't my instinct to do this. I wanted a woman who was naturally appealing and didn't have to be made that way.<BR/><BR/>By my 30s though I decided that modern culture had distorted things so much that it wasn't likely I'd meet such a woman.<BR/><BR/>I remember struggling against my own instincts to accept that I'd have to try to choose a woman I sensed was good hearted and then hope that placed in a good relationship that the natural femininity would assert itself.<BR/><BR/>Which is what happened. It's unlikely, though, that men will do this easily or in large numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-1161082198909378852006-10-17T20:49:00.000+10:002006-10-17T20:49:00.000+10:00Anonymous, a good comment.

Along the same lines, a woman will be loved if a man can think of her as lovely.<BR/><BR/>I do see a few promising signs that things are improving. Where I live (a middle class suburb of Melbourne) the women are tending to dress in a more classically feminine way.<BR/><BR/>Also, when younger women do find a guy they're serious about, they seem to drop some of the "ladette" behaviour which has been popular in recent times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-1161065652487083672006-10-17T16:14:00.000+10:002006-10-17T16:14:00.000+10:00If women wish to be cherished and worshipped, then...If women wish to be cherished and worshipped, then they should cultivate the qualities that men cherish and worship.<BR/><BR/>Some of these qualities may be: chastity, modesty, femininity, kindness, service to family (for later, after initial attraction wears off).<BR/><BR/>Is there any sign that the modern woman has or is developing these characteristics? No.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-1160649624674651982006-10-12T20:40:00.000+10:002006-10-12T20:40:00.000+10:00Bobby, I've been meaning to commend you for a part...Bobby, I've been meaning to commend you for a particularly acute sentence in your comment. You wrote:<BR/><BR/>"they refuse to logically structure a working model that encompasses nature and all things around them - but, rather, expect the world to revolve around their desires and feelings"<BR/><BR/>This is a problem within modernist politics in general, not just feminism.<BR/><BR/>You've expressed it very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-1160191725309992012006-10-07T13:28:00.000+10:002006-10-07T13:28:00.000+10:00Perhaps she needs to meet an old-fashioned man lik...Perhaps she needs to meet an old-fashioned man like in this Charles Bronson ad from the 1970s (via Mangan's):<BR/>http://mangans.blogspot.com/2006/10/sex-wish.htmlMercurius Aulicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130901970855873480noreply@blogger.com
