719. Feminine Mystique Explained

I dedicate this post to Her Highness Cynthia Blum. She sought definition of feminine mystique and asked how to get and keep it.

717. Spill Your Guts, End Up In Ruts — First Rut

653. RANDOM THOUGHTS — Group 6

Intimacy is vitally important to her and less so to men. But which is more important: depth or breadth, quality or quantity, intensity or frequency? Lengthy courtship enables her to find out about herself and ‘train’ him to match her expectations.
