Having a great conversation with a great, penis toting, friend of mine.
He asks me how a man should approach women, without being offensive or predatory.
I don't have a good answer.
I like it when men are open and honest about their interest and intentions.
For example: I'm standing somewhere, but I'm not backed into a corner, when a man who I may or may not be attracted to approaches me. He is smiling, he is confident, he says, "I think you are beautiful and I would like to spend time with you." I'm flattered and I respond accordingly. Maybe I think he's cute and I suggest we take a little walk. Maybe I say, "Thank you, but I'm not interested." He laughs and lets me know I'm free to change my mind and then we start talking about male birth control pills. No hard feelings, just adults, navigating adult stuff, like rejection and the future of contraceptives.
I get rejected often enough, but I don't hate them for it. I just hope I made them feel special or something.
Less pressure, more love and balls, balls are crucial.
(If balls are a reference to resilience, compassion and tenacity...?)
