Jay about me and my piece on "listening": “he's not afraid to say crazy shit like this that I know people won't be too happy about. (I don't think it's crazy, but I can imagine many who would.)” Yeah, crazy like a fox!
He also writes: “Women (or anyone really) who expects you to listen without comment to their problems is asking you for permission for them to use you, plain and simple. Richard doesn't seem to be saying that he won't talk to women, just that he won't be a puppy who sits around and licks cuts.” An important phrase here is "or anyone really", because I may have over-emphasized women in that case, when men are equally capable of moaning and groaning. As for the last sentence, I don't deny ever being a “a puppy who sits around and licks cuts”, but Jay gets the right impression that I've done enough of it, and it's time to be, as Jay says I already am, “a True Playa™ [who] writes about how to deal with all his mad Hunnies™”.
