After I read this (and thanks for the in depth view), is that while the physical intimacy is a dime a dozen with men, and exquisite with women … if conversely knowing that to get the level of emotional and vulnerability based intimacy with men that women get with women naturally is is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Hence the desire for acceptance and to go there, because if you can find a man that is emotionally there and all in honest/vulnerability “bingo”.

That is my thought …. from the cheap seats of life.
