You have not met my son. Manly but extroverted
Now, don’t argue with science...
I enjoyed this book “Self-Made Man”.
“Self-Made Man: My Year Disguised as a Man is a 2006 book by journalist Norah Vincent, recounting an 18-month experiment in which she disguised herself as a man and then integrated into traditionally male-only venues, such as a bowling league and a monastery. She described this as “a human project” about learning.”

Well it didn’t work out for Nelson Rockefeller.
Sexy? No, for obvious reasons.
Ugly??? Please ... don't be absurd.
Unfortunately, yes. I attended a seminary college my first year. One of the sisters was drop dead beautiful. She did go civilian at the campus pool however. All real, and all magnificent. To this I can, from sight alone, attest. Sister Whatawaist.
I’ll volunteer to help turn the tables.
It is bullshit. I’m a woman, almost 77 years of age. Had plenty of sex in my younger days to last me a lifetime. Gave me two sons who are in their 50’s now. Got divorced in 1978, dated until I was in my mid-40’s, then decided I didn’t care about putting up with someone else’s bad habits. I preferred my privacy and solitude instead. I’ve outlived everyone in my family. Only one of them lived to be 74. The rest died at ages 51, 69 and 73.
Sister Mary Louise, my 2nd grade teacher. Never understood how someone so beautiful ended up a nun.
I dream about some pretty hot-looking women. Almost every night. But I never remember the rest of it. Does that count?
Just sent this to all my concubines....
“Trust me babe. It’s for you own good.”
I have some flashbacks as well, NFHale. But, one must concede, no one educated by the teaching sisters ever seemed to suffer from ADHD, or any other of these current plagues.
I was thinking of that book. As I recall she ended committing suicide from her experiences.
So, I can tell women that they can’t live as I do because it would kill them.
Good for you.
There you go.
You were inoculated... frequently, at an early age.
She didn’t try to deal with alpha males and hard men, she stayed with the betas and in safe settings but she gave it an admirable effort and it is an interesting book.
It doesn’t have anything to do with introversion or extroversion.
Women live for their families and men live for their purposes. You give a man his purpose and he will not need anything else to be happy.
If you want to kill a woman, destroy her connectedness with her family. If you want to kill a man, kill his sense of purpose.
That’s why, if do a search of men and their purpose, you’ll get a hundred pages in a search engine on the topic, because it’s who men are.

You don’t get the same oxytocin and endorphin release from a brisk walk.
