Re: Many other female looners?
I don't know if that's as much of a male/female thing, I'm a guy and I feel pretty much the same way. My theory is that it's much easier to talk about those so-called "technical" details because of how concrete and defined they are, whereas the emotional side of things is more complicated and difficult to convey. The "technical" details are also physical and objective, whereas the emotional side of things is mental and subjective.
As a result, you see the conversation flow much more easily around such topics, so you end up with a majority of it. For this reason I lurk a lot more than I post, since only some of the topics are aligned with what I want to talk about most.
Also, I know a lot of the replies tend to be short but I (and I'm sure many others here) really appreciate the depth of your posts, you do a very good job to describe the difficult emotional side of things I referred to earlier and I always enjoy reading them.
I know I'm straight up not good enough at writing about such things to be on that level, so that's one thing that makes it harder, I think many cultures encourage men to bottle their emotions up and then we have to re-learn how to let them free again.
