Last night I was out (in drab) at a New Year's celebration. There were of course many nicely dressed females, sequins in abundance, lovely shoes, much to admire and covet.
What struck me though wasn't so much the clothes as the attitude, the behavior of the GG's. They are much more self confident in public. The singer wanted 2 volunteers. Two young ladies leaped into action. No hesitation, they were up for it. The GG's are always the one's first to the dance floor, just seeking out having a good time.
What I saw were females bonding, supporting each other. There were a few 3-5 year old girls in their party/princess dresses. So many of the GG's spoke to them with words of encouragement, the "Oh don't you look pretty". "That's a lovely looking dress". They support each other and bond in a way males can only wonder at.
We can observe female mannerisms, the walk, hand gestures, hair flicks etc. and try to emulate them to make ourselves look more convincing but I suspect the hardest one to add is the one of confidence. That ability to not be self conscious, to become that social animal, unafraid, not lacking in confidence to take part. There's a spontaneity to it, almost a subconscious response.
We can wear the uniform, many can look very convincing but crossing that bridge to get to the point of having that ability of free self expression is something I suspect many of will never do. "Man I feel like a woman" has a sort of hollow ring to it.
Happy New Year
