Cars/Autos once had that , and so once women. aahh Mar$... you have to keep yourself optimistic... individuality, the trade mark of fast automobiles, what makes them be so desirable, because of the emotions that are capable of inspiring... no question about that.... as for women... ah yes, they can be inspiring too... is there a parallel here ? let's see... a fast car... and i mean a really fast car, capable of 0 - 60 in about 3.6 secs. and capable to take you around a corner at breath-taking speeds where the weight of your body and the g-force combat to the point where you literarily wrestle the car into the corner and find the perfect balance between optimum speed and the limit of adhesion; reaching the fastest speed to travel around the corner without neither losing the car to spin, nor scrub speed in unnecessary over-steer... just the right amount of it, achieving that light feeling of driving with four wheel drift, as if driving on air... and women ? i would say not the same category of course... first women are human beings capable of incredible feed back, (such as love - back) which is different to the feedback of a fine machine... which is purely mechanical... input - output... *drive too fast into a corner = crash into Armco barrier* women... they are master executioners of voodoo art upon men... very capable of inspiring incredible emotions... from up to down with unbelievable vertigo in between... more intense than the sheer acceleration of a fast car... but it HAS to be the right woman except there is a BIG difference... a difference that comes from them, from their individuality... yes, as a reaction to our input... so the key is not necessarily their 'individuality' i think each woman (and man) have that... in their nature... the real "key" is to find the one that 'matches our own' like gears that mesh (or preferably mash -g ) perfectly... then... only then... can you surpass by far... any emotion or thrill that the best fine tuned and manufactured automobile can give you... it is like knowing how to drive such car... the application of balance at all times is of prime importance, as it is what yields the ecstasy and highs.... getting that perfect corner... perfect slide through it... the steering wheel so light.... (this in spite having those wide wheels to handle)... perfect timing of initial brake application, the right pressure on the break pedal.... when to start turning... how much steering input... and ready to react to a negative input by the car... softly but firmly is the key to achieving balance in a fast car... an art more than a science... all this at over a hundred miles a hour and at times under competitive pressure... yet one must remain calm and cool... quick, but calm... swift, but smooth... easy but confident moves and reactions to a wild beast with hundreds of horse power under your foot.... in a car, it is a combination of the skill one is born with, followed by the necessary practice, which obviously... 'makes perfect' once achieved... mastery becomes rather easy... achieving the same with a woman... is really difficult because it is not dependant solely upon what input we give... that is only half the climb... the real key is finding the one woman who holds the matching gear... so both gears mash and together the movement into the heights of ecstasy is achieved... assuming.... many other elements can be 'set in place'... but one must NOT have control of the woman... she must have FREEDOM to chose freely, as if the choice is made and the gears are matched... then the 'force is with you' is an understatement oh well.... i wrote too much already for this gallery, which is more concerned with pieces of fine art... but i felt i had to lift your optimism mar$... that is to say... yes, there are 'character and individualism' in women out there... today... I know
