Acting Cool...vs. ...Being Cool




I recently had a conversation with a girlfriend about certain insecurities we, women, experience during intimacy with men…


Disclosure: some parts are intentionally exaggerated for dramatization purposes…if you want to know what parts, please register below and leave a comment :)


Darlings, have you ever been in an intimate moment with a man, let’s say, laying n*ked next to him after just having a passionate love making moment?  You feel relaxed, content…while cuddling and watching some TV show, movie, video…and all of the sudden, the man says “Man, She’s Hot…”with an intense look on his face… referring to one of the Stars female on the screen…


The “Acting Cool” me…would suck it up…maybe say nothing or become his buddy and agree with him “Oh, ya…she’s hot…lol [hint: “LOL” is often used as a good cover up for stuffed feelings :) ]”

The “Being Cool” me…checks how she deeply feels hearing this man talk about another woman…(we want authenticity, remember?) before grabbing her shoe and giving him a good smack…lol…Okay, okay…really, just kidding here…but you get my point…


A while back, I had that happen.  I told him ”Wow…this feels kinda bad…here I am naked next to you, feeling a bit vulnerable and it doesn’t feel good hearing another woman is hot.”   He responded “What’s with women tripping and all jealous when a man is honest?  I don’t like it when women are so insecure (meaning I was insecure)…”  [Hint: don’t talk on a 3rd person, when I am next to you, especially n*ked…there will be no seconds ;)]


Well, while I totally understood his need to be appreciated for his honesty…my needs to be acknowledged and appreciated as the woman – n*ked next to him, giving him pleasure…were not reciprocated either …:)  so, nobody was happy in that moment…lol


What I was thinking at the time was “Wow…here I am n*ked next to this id*ot which means I also am an id*ot…and it sounds as if he is settling with me…that if he could afford this “Star” woman he would of course, choose her…but he can’t because he is a moron…and of course, now I am a moron too by association…and here I am sooo pissed off and turned off…”  


From my view, one is to say to a woman …”Man, X is hot”…and another is to say…”I like her eyes, or hair, legs (or hairy legs lol), or the dress looks good on her…” because I, the naked woman next to him, can immediately tell myself “Okay, I can fix this, I can buy this, I can grow this…”  not that I would, lol;   

I know when I sense a bit of jealousy towards another woman…I also see an opportunity for improvement and growth…whether at a physical level or even better at an emotional level by giving self-love and acceptance to the parts of me that feel vulnerable and unloved…

Otherwise,  had it not been for this lovely, honest man next to me being sooo specific about what “hot” means to him…I could have missed this awesome growing opportunity...;)


To accept this man for his “as*hole” moments…I have to honor my feelings and express them…otherwise, resentment will build up…In these moments, people make choices…some choose to grow together from the experience…others move on…Speaking our truth means honoring ourselves…and only from this place we can honor another…


So Darlings, Don’t Act Cool…Be Cool…and now, you know what I mean :)
