You know I work with psychologists all day long, and the fact that I just left a man I was married to who was bookish, etc, has not been lost on me. I'm not that far gone. Still, it is fairly easy for me to slide right back into that trap.

There are two things that come up for me again and again: 1) One of the things I grew to hate in my marriage was the pretension. It occurred to my one day that I just could not stand it anymore and it was one of the deciding factors in my leaving. Now I find that I too have some pretensions, and I am ashamed. I'm learning.

2) I love dating and have been exceptionally lucky in picks. I have learned from each man, and I think each of them enjoyed me to some extent. I feel more adult, and like I have adult choices to make. It's rather silly and childish, and fun. Who knew?!

MSD: My thoughts re anarchism and libertarianism are similar to yours. I am much more logical and try to live in the real world as it is.
