The point is each can say what traits they find attractive (nice) in another person. What they can't do is say being this way or that way makes someone more or less worthy as a human being.
A preference is not an insult to all those who aren't that way. As long as it's worded in a way that isn't insulting to those who don't match the preference ...
Of course they only can choose to be one way or another ... and should they be this way or that way then they would be liked by this or that person ....
It has come to my attention that some "nice" men are offering self-defence class for women. To help them "manage" their own gender's inappropriate behaviour.
Now my idea of a nice man would be a man who would offer workshops and discussion groups for men, so that those who don't know yet, learn the boundaries of appropriate and respectful behaviour towards women.
I totally agree with you on the word 'nice' hence why I put ''...'' round it ... I chose to use it because so much noise has been made lately about 'nice women' ...
My love for my children defined itself or just "was" with the realisation that there was nothing they need do or not do, say or not say for my love for them to shine
Had not read Waking the Tiger but that is pretty much how I have been working on my inner healing for years and how I examine anything that flares up at any given moment. I am very very aware of my bodily sensations and allow myself to be guided by them. I also guide people on their healing journey via the sensations (and discomforts) in their bodies.
It sounds like a very interesting read. Will look it up
I once went to the doc for something which I can't remember now but was not some important health issue, and he was very shocked that there was no info on my file ... (because I never go to the doc) ... and so he insisted I should have a full check up even though I felt perfectly fine ... He said at my age I should
The results came back "perfect" on all counts .... he looked so disappointed that he couldn't prescribe me anything
May your friend has check ups "because of his age" not because something is up ...
Have had plenty of "strides of pride" in my life ... just looking for something a bit different these days ... or may be he wasn't "hot" enough for a stride of pride moment
WOMEN ... what is your definition...
good post
