Thank you. I noticed on Google that today is Pi (3.34159) day. In light of your delightful expression "Keepers of the Pie", I'd like to wish you Happy Pi Day.

I've just started reading your blog, and I just wanted to say that what you explicitly reject and properly dismiss as shallow and an affront to the individual is what I've found most refreshing to find an alternative to in The Christian community. A community that teaches the inherent dignity of all who have been made in the image of God, and one that teaches that the value of a person is a not a function of his or her geometric ratios. Thank you for articulating this frustration in our world's current conception of relationships :) I totally support your rejection of a community that neglects the humanity inherent in every individual.

It should be... Oh! Let's get together and teach "socially awkward dudes". I'm writing a book on that topic but it is mostly about sex. My 25 yo son says "Mom, I ain't got no game" and, despite being his mom, he truly is good looking and charming. But he is terrified of approaching women. Why? BECAUSE WE ARE TERRIFYING! I think there are very few truly girly women. Look, wouldn't we secretly really just love to wear our jeans vs. high heels all the time? We "feel sexy" in the latter but how much of that has ben fed to us? What I would give to be in Canada so I could suck down a jug of sangria with you smart babes (innocent, totally) and TALK about this stuff. @Amanda, Isn’t indolent a word? It should be…

No longer surprised. 3 thoughts: *If it is all about sex (and sometimes it is) provide us with legalized prostitution-for boys and girls who want boys or girls! *regarding "hot bitches": we ALL want hot bitches. Or at least people who are as hot or hotter than we are. Very few of us are completely blind to looks. STRAIGHT women are more forgiving on looks, but not so much lesbians. Picky group. *I may have said it before but confidence and accomplishment is sexy in anyone! Good lord. Who doesn't get this? Lots of good stuff. No longer surprised. 3 thoughts:

I do NOT think men are afraid of strong women. It has been my experience that they are not. I think "men are afraid of strong women" is an urban myth (that gets repeated by the NY Times, alas). @Ami PS – I don’t think I made myself clear in my essay.
