What To
Do When He Just Wants You For Your Body
Revel in it. First of all, this thing about "just wanting someone
for their body" is the most ridiculous notion that some 1950's mother came
up with to stifle her daughter's spirit. No one really just wants someone for
their body. Not for long anyway. (I'm sure we've all felt, as one of my girlfriends
once announced "If I had to fuck that personality to fuck that body, I'd
do it." But the number of people who come under that category are few and
far between.) Guys, like women, are attracted to the whole enchilada: personality,
smarts, career, hot red convertible. . . even at the end of the night, when they're
drunk out of their gourd, willing to hook up with the last girl left at the party
they convince themselves that they're attracted to the whole picture.
So, that having been said, the way that one (not just men; women, too) expresses
attraction is through physical interaction. But lots of women do this weird thing
with that in their heads. They think that the moment that a guy is paying attention
to her body that he must have forgotten about her great sense of humor, awesome
pool-playing and cute car. Suddenly the very fact that the guy is attracted to
her--and showing it in the only possible way to show it--becomes a negative, or
even degrading, thing. Get over it. Someone's being attracted
to you is a good thing. It is a compliment. It is more than a compliment. It's
a rush. It's power. It's damn fun. (And if you start paying attention
to the people around you, you will notice that the women who know this are never
talked about or considered sluts. It's the General Philosophy again--act confident
and you will be respected. On the flip side, if everytime you get entwined with
a guy you feel used. . . well, then you create a reality where you are being used.
It's all in your own head.)
