Thread resurrection...
I agree to a certain extent with the title of the thread. Being associated with the Watchtower often produces extremes in behavior either being very stong and confident in life, or being very reserved in certain areas. Often these two traits can be interwoven with each other and manifest themselves differently in different areas of our lives. I myself am unusually confident in certain areas, but considerably less so in others.
Umm.. just to clarify for those who said that "seduction" is evil... in English the word has more of a negative connotation than positive. It can be the act of winning sexual favours from someone, dishonestly enticing someone into "wrong" behavior, and often involves suducing someone into an act that may be regretted... it often involves persuasion and manipulation...
In French however, the positive connotation of the word outweighs the negative. It can be to charm, to captivate, to attract... it is a Gallic art that utilises the 5 sences to engender attraction, as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon version of getting him/her in bed as quickly as possible.
(Of course thats an over-generalisation lol)
I dont want to enter a debate but "Innocence"is a turn off for women and its "Field Tested" by hundreds of people.
Umm... interesting but mnot entirely accurate statement.
well i was shocked, disgusted and put off Beyoncé when i read the lyrics of Destiny's Child's "Soldier" (and doubly so when i heard her mauled version of the song "Vois Sur Ton Chemin", hehe). She talked about "a rude boy thats good to me, with street credibility", with "grills gleamin' " (gold teeth), and "always talkin' that country slang we like". Does she really go for that type of man? The type of man who follows this aggresive "rude-boy" hip-hop style, who flaunts his ghetto-fabulous lifestyle by wearing gold grills? To me that's the most unattractive type of man in existence... but every girl or gay to him/herself...
She obviously doesn't rate humility or innocence very high up on her importance scale...
So although i do believe some women/men find "innocence" a turn-off, i think many (like myself) prefer a simple, honest and down-to-earth guy... its just a matter of choice... i do think though many people confuse confidence for agressiveness... and likewise, innocence is confused with weakness. Ce que tu entends dans les médias n'est pas toujours la vérité...
Aside from the ridiculous gay stereotypes of the masculine and feminine components of a same-sex relationship, i think gays also look for similar things in a partner to what hetero people look for. The problem is that men often don't know what women want, but try to impress them with displays they couldn't give two hoots about. In this post-modern media-controlled world, sadly to say, many people DO actually, actively seek out these stereotypes and in turn exaserbate them making them real.
