Women....

We women can be a funny lot. Some of us are very genuine and open with our feelings and emotions. I, myself, am a very affectionate, expressive person. Other women can be more closed with their true feelings. Some women are more aloof, especially with men, and lean more towards playing "hard to get" or something of the sort. They are not as forthcoming with their emotions or thoughts. People have to work harder to get through the tough exterior usually put forth by these types.

Which is better, no, not better, which one works the best?? Do people feel more comfortable around women that know what they want out of life and just put all their cards on the table, or do they like that air of mystery and seek to find out more from these types? I don't know. I know I am very open and up front about who I am, what I want, and what I expect from both myself and the people around me.

I use women as the example, because men seem to lean more towards the aloof type overall. I have not met many men that do not at least attempt to have an air of "mystery" about them, even if they are not very good at it.

In talking with friends and co-workers lately I just have to wonder how common, or uncommon my type of personality is. I tell people how I feel, what I expect from them, and what I am willing to put forth in life. I expect from my relationships (not speaking in romantic terms, but more overall) what I put into them. I relish the emotional bonds I form with my friends, family, and everyone that means something to me. I love meeting new people, and learning all about them, and telling them about me. I am about as social as social gets, in the respect that I thoroughly enjoy seeing what makes people tick...

And I also am still learning what makes me tick as well...and that is an interesting journey as well...
