What does it for me?
Images that are beautiful are my best motivative.
Smell is next on the list.
“If you are a guy: How do you let a woman know that she’s attractive in a way that enlivens her and doesn’t distress her.”…..”If you are a woman: How do you let a guy know that you like him and that he is attractive but not encouraging him.”
Language is an interesting thing and the words we choose say a lot about our acculturation. Now, this part of your recording jarred with me and I couldn’t quite put my finger on why but on a second listening I realised that it is the last two words of each comment that caught my attention. They are essential opposites: (Distress her / Encourage him) = (cause anxiety and pain to her / cause hope and inspiration to him). What does the difference in language mean? The guy isn’t supposed to upset the woman by being too what? Aggressive in his admiration? The woman isn’t supposed to encourage the man to do what? Be assertive in his response? She can flirt but not flirt too much? She can encourage the bloke to have hope that she feels some spark of attraction for him but not give him so much encouragement that it gives him the message that he has a leave pass to ravage her? I look forward to your response.
