You're preaching to the choir. I ended a friendship with another woman because she felt my lifestyle was deplorable and should've wanted something more "meaningful". I was "too old" to be doing this sort of thing and needed to think about "settling down" because "you can't do this forever". What she and others don't get is that women aren't encouraged to pursue the lifestyle of which you speak. You're fortunate in that regard. But I didn't let that stop me. It was meaningful to me in that I discovered men could, in fact, be your friend as well as your lover. It's all about respect. People want to believe we're hedonists without feelings when we venture into these kind of relationships. At some point, you have to stop caring what other people think and do what is good for you and that's exactly what I did.

Traditionally you're the only gender who is encouraged to kiss as many frogs as you like and freely admit it.
