A MarketPlace of Ideas

This is Rita’s Village on a cloudy day.  I am not gay.

The first time I stayed here it was all guys.  The nice thing about all guys is that when they want to pursue a woman they LEAVE.  The flip side of that is that if you have all women in the place and you are the only guy what is going to happen?  

…….Here’s a clue: There are going to be a bunch of dumbass guys hanging around all hours thinking if they wait long enough they will get some pussy.  Generally the dynamic is the guy goes to the girls house.   On top of that when women as a rule are not really as mentally active as men. Thus they tend to not be as funny or entertaining to be around.  With a girlfriend if she gets too boring you can leave and go home right?  Well in this case they’re boring and I’m not even having sex with them but where do I retreat?  There is no escaping insipid visitors in this situation.  They are friendly but have the intellect of 

1- physical education teachers  — 30%

2- physical therapists — 20%

3- tourism majors — 30% yes its actually a major….you can major in fucking off. 

4- architecture — 5% - but its not american style architecture education that grinds you to a pulp so these do not have to be highly unique people as I am accustomed to in the USA

5- 15% unknown –  balance unknown major

 They’re not Brasileiras so they just are not as pretty as the local fair.  And what are the odds you meet a girl out of only 8 that you have real chemistry with?  Pretty low all things considered unless you just want a quickly.  But quicklys are not for me in this setting. It could get ugly fast and where do you escape to?! 

As for security at least with guys you’re able to get to know them and understand the security risk. With girls around you’ll have all sorts of blokes showing up and there is likely to be a new face in the crowd that you have no idea who they are.

I know this might sound a little harsh but this blog is all about dynamics of human behavior if nothing else.  I don’t pull punches in this sort of writing. The information is meant to be useful.  Not kind.

So thus yes you can have 8 female neighbors and have it be a very nonoptimal situation even if you are hetero. 

How about you? Are you gay yet?

When doing hard core high testosterone engineering I learned something about my machine.  Designing cutting edge RF circuit cards was a highly constrained exercise in the use of imagination for creativity.

Highly constrained creativity is the type Richard Feynman talked about when he talked about creativity and physics.  He liked it more because it was creativity and imagination you could actually DO something with other than write yet another BS filled science fiction movie with John Travolta in alien drag.

Imagine you are working on a highly constrained creativity project.  You start packing your head full of all the constraints.  For example you want to design a new car.  The constraints might be:

 1- have 4 wheels

 2- get 200 miles per gallon

 3- plug in hybrid electric

 4- use gasoline, alcohol 

 5- go 200 miles per hour

What I discovered was that if you pack your head full of all the information about a design task for 3 days straight on the 3rd day is when you start to get the really good ideas.  Up till then the results of your constraints and your imagination are not fully cooked.
