The general consensus is that men are hunters and have to chase things. (Kind of like a dog, but that's not my point.) If a girl gives away all her life secrets, leaving nothing hidden about herself, there's no chase, no adventure for the guy. We are supposed to be mysterious to them. But what happens when no one chases a girl? She can be as mysterious as she wants, but if no one is interested in solving the mystery, she just looks like a derangedly severe introvert. Or maybe that's just me.
I believe that God put this desire to be pursued and rescued into the female heart so that we would want to recieve His perfect rescue from the ultimate evil. Every little romance here on earth is just us acting out, in miniature, the cosmic pursuit of Christ after humankind. It's all over our myths- knights in shining armor, princesses locked in towers, riding into the sunset- even if it's total baloney, its prevalence tells you something about the image resonates in our collective cultural consciousness. Man, now I really want to watch Sleeping Beauty for some reason.

This is very good. It reminds me of Wild at Heart but from a womans perspective. I kind of talked about this on my blog with one of the quotes from a movie. Funny how it all relates. It is so true though. I look forward to reading more!
Aub, Thanks for allowing us to spy in on your thoughts! Love it. It's sad that I find out what my kid is thinking by reading his blog but hey, times change, eh? Anyway, fun to read your mind.
Its really interesting to think of it that way.and it is true, girls try to be mysterious and sometimes it is a good way to get to know the person, best not to tell them your life story all at onec and scare the poor guy to death. Its kinda funny because no guy on Earth can save us from what God hasits kinda cool to be saved! Just the adventure doesent even end there.....it keeps goin and i personally have no idea when mine will end! lol
