The semi-enlightened man

Let me tell you something about a kind of man I keep meeting recently; I call him the semi-enlightened man. It’s a guy who, when you meet him, is quite charming. He’s quick to pay you compliments, teases, and seems outgoing. All good fun. Then, if you end up talking some more and maybe even agreeing to meet each other for a drink, you find out a bit more about him. He often seems to be open to some self-reflection, seems to think about life. What a relief! It is always nice to meet a person who ponders his existence and doesn’t go running for the hills the moment someone utters the words “feelings” or “spiritual”.

I think you’re an asshole – please like me!

What funny creatures we are. Recent events have made me discover something about myself, a quality that is often linked to the female sex: the Great Urge to Please. To be seen as charming and sweet, even by assholes. Even by those you sense are taking advantage of you.

There is something mightily wrong with this.

Let me start by being completely honest: when it comes to matters of the heart, I have NO idea how to act. But I’m pretty sure that this is true for everybody. We’re all just improvising our tushy off, aren’t we? That being said, what I can try to do is share my own humble experience and – dare I say it – slightly successful methods.
