Well, like I said, it only happened to me once, and it was in the context of a very complex relationship that I don't want to get into except to say that I have posted about it before. The thing that I still can't figure out is what he meant when he told me that it was flattering that he had fooled an intelligent woman like me. I mean, I understand the English, I know very well what he meant, but I don't get what he got out of fooling me. I really loved him, I guess he meant I wouldn't have loved him if he hadn't fooled me. I learned a lot about predatory men before I was old enough to respond, one of my grandmothers had a cafe with a bar in it, for one thing, and just being a pretty little girl taught me a lot about men that I didn't care to know. So I knew enough to recognize a wolf when I saw one, and to know what was what for the most part. Most manipulative men try to hit on weaker women than me, anyway. My girlfriends used to tell me that it turned men off unless I pretended to be dumb. I was an early feminist, but the best thing I read was by Janis Joplin. She said she would never let a man beat her at a game of pool, because who wanted a man who needed a woman to let him beat her at a game of pool? Right on, sister!
