Tony,
Absolutely not!!!! re: was this really a more "female orientated" post.
I meant that I was the "third" person piping up to say "you go, girl" to CJ Nightowl. It sounds like she's on the A-train on this and I wanted to send up my bravos and high fives.
You remind me a lot of my husband in some ways, and I think it's because you both have such a great way of interacting with women! Don't you know that women LOVE that??????
My dad (poor dad, he has just gotten totally knocked around these last 30 hours) was a sit-in- the-chair-in-his-boxers kind of guy who watched sports and didn't say all that much. Now, when he did, it was often a very valuable nugget of information - i.e. - when I worried about a boyfriend that didn't call he said:
"Just remember this, all going my way, join my class, all going the other way, kiss my *ss."
I also know practically every naughty limerick in the book by heart thanks to him, but he was not one of those men who interacted comfortably with women. My mother always said that if I hadn't been his daughter he wouldn't have liked me because I was too outspoken on some issues as I got older (I guess he learned to tolerate it in me).
My husband always had a very close relationship with his mother and father and as a result he is comfortable with both sexes. Women often find him to be one of those "confess your deepest sins" kind of guys because he is so nonjudgemental (which is how you seem as well, i.e. nonjudgemental).
One of his female friends once told him that he has an equal balance of anima and whatever the male counterpart is (he's also very equally left-brained, right-brained, whereas I'm so right-brained that I tilt when I walk).
Last comment - you have a background in social work so you should be spouting off in just about EVERY thread as far as I'm concerned!
Okay, I'm out of breath now.
Lee
