Of Bombshells And Men
"I guess you have to be some kind of bombshell," her email reads, "because I would never have the guts to attempt that thing you did with Alex...you make it sound so easy lah, sigh!"
An excerpt from my very first reader email. Friendly compliment, but read between the lines. Does it take beauty to score? So instead of bitching about mid-life crisis with the ladies during Sunday lunch, I casually put it to the table. "You girls think I'm a bombshell?" Their eyes pooled in unspoken mirth, and one by one, we started recounting our 'youth'. A story here. A reason there. Many whys, and as many answers. And here is my unspecified reason:
It is easy and I am some kind of bombshell. Only, I'm not very pretty myself and 'bombshell' has never been the first impression I give people. Miss Tasha is not going to ever win any beauty pageants, not even as Sha (the mental bombshell) or after various surgical procedures. You would not pick me out of a sea of people, but spare me only a fleeting glance that holds no flicker of interest, if you were to look my way. I am an ordinary woman, like much of the populace. But one thing sets me apart: confidence.
So how does confidence transform an ordinary woman into a bombshell?
Knowledge is power, my dears. If you walk the walk like you were born to do it, people will assume that you are. The masses are followers, and all it takes to command their respect is to know what you are capable of. Bullshit if you have to, but always check your premises. A real man cannot resist a confident woman: he probably intimidates a lot of women and will definitely remember one who isn't bothered by his charms. So if he is intimidated instead, you wouldn't have wanted to keep him anyway.
In Man terms, success is easy...if you hold that power. Before you read on, keep in mind that I am generalizing men. Yes, the inevitable stereotyping!
Men, Intelligent Men, are all animals at heart. Feral. In the bedroom sense, of course. Whatever power they hold in the boardroom does not matter in the bedroom. Some want to conquer, and others want to be conquered. As long as you're ready to take on the task of doing either, you're set. An Intelligent Man adores a woman who is confident enough to take charge and lead him to his pleasures, and confident enough to get down on her knees and submit to his commands...knowing that she is only yielding because she knows that is what he really wants and she has the power to give it to him, and NOT because she does not dare to say no. Of course, you can also say no, take the reins and satisfy yourself before him...and pleasantly find that he actually enjoyed that a whole lot more than you saying yes all the time. The bottomline? You come first...in all senses of the word!
As for the rest of the men that do not fall into the Intelligent Men category, I never bothered. Not these days, anyway. Age makes you cynical.
And how do I know all this? Because self-confidence can never be a bad thing :) So never underestimate your powers as a woman, Bombshell!
