05/05/2006: "As the Phoenix"
"It quite often happens that the old man is subject to the delusion of a great moral renewal and rebirth, and from this experience he passes judgments on the work and course of his life, as if he had only now become clear-sighted; and yet the inspiration behind this feeling of well-being and these confident judgements is not wisdom, but weariness."
-Nietzsche
The New Rose and I have talked it out and reached an understanding, of both each other and ourselves--and I could not be happier.
I take it all back. (Can I do that???)
Thanks for all your support, friends.

I’m glad to see that you an the New Rose have worked things out.
I think you are definitely a lover . . . but you aren’t a player. I don’t blame you there, because the connotation of a player brings to mind an unsavory image. But you have to be able to play the game! Love is one thing, keeping it is another.
Some tips about women, from a woman:
- Women are ruled by emotions, men are ruled by logic. Women are fucking crazy sometimes, and we don’t care if men think that we are. We feel entitled for putting up with you. For years women were considered second class citizens, and we aren’t done being angry about it yet.
- Know your woman’s monthly cycle! We ovulate at approximately 14 days, and that is when our hormones start to change. Almost every single woman I know, whether or not she wants to admit it, is moody and emotional at some point between the 14th day and the end of their cycle. Personally, I think PMS should be a legally acceptable defense for killing a man.
- Always keep the pussy happy - whether you are in the mood or not. Women expect men to want them sexually ALL the time, and when men do not, women don’t understand. It goes against what they have learned - that men are always horny and willing to fuck anything. Women internalize the lack of sex as rejection, signifying something that must be unattractive or unappealing about them, because otherwise, “Why wouldn’t he want to have sex with me?”
- The greatest line I ever heard from a guy was: “What are you thinking about?” He would ask me this all the time, and I feel totally in love with him for it. I knew it was a line, but I liked it because men never want to know what a woman is thinking about. It usually scares them. But when he would ask me this, it made me feel special and important.
- Compliment us, even if you are lying. We don’t care. We just want to hear that we look good. Point out the little things . . . like if we style our hair differently, or if we are wearing something different. It doesn’t matter what you compliment, just do it, and make us believe it when you say it.
- I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to small details. An alert woman is programed to notice everything, but men tend to just glide through life half aware of their surroundings. A woman will give you a clue when she is not happy about something. You just have to be alert enough to pick up on it. If you aren’t sure, then check in . . . “Everything OK, honey?”
