Y'know, I've come to realize something over the years that finally dawned on me.

Being a pervert and a gentleman is not a healthy mix. Not for the mind and soul, anyway. I've lived believing that a balance of opposites is necessary in life, but these two extremes never seem to settle with me.

On one hand, I want to treat every female I know with respect and dignity to prove that I don't simply see women as sex objects, but on the other, the fantasies that go through my mind are just plain atrocious.
It's driven me to post crap like this despite knowing that someone's going to find it offensive and how much I HATE offending people I like. And yes, I know it seems contradictory that I'd be ashamed of that "offer" I made and yet go on and advertise it (seeing as it's still open) again. I don't get it either.

Confucius says a wise man worries whether or not he understands himself...well, I guess I can't claim to be wise then, because there's no worry there at all, I know for a FACT I don't understand myself.

... ... I think I need sleep. Even for not making sense this isn't making any sense to me.

Hrm...

Now, I consider myself both a gentleman and a pervert, and yet I don't have such a dillemma. I don't really consider being a pervert a bad thing at all, just that there are times and places it is not welcome. On your own journal, you get to decide what those times are.

As for other stuff.. meh, I'm too shy to even make an ass of myself. ;P

Don't do crack, son. Ladies love jerks.

...Huh. I must either get the wrong impression or hang around the wrong ladies.

*then realizes that by announcing that decision he pretty much just DID* D'oh!

Araemo seems to have the right idea. Just be you, and if something comes up that scares you back into sensibility, take it to heart. It is possible to be both, you just have to think with the right head and listen to your heart.

Trust me, being a pervert and a gentleman is just fine as long as the pervert is let out in private contacts only (namely the bedroom or at appropriate date situations). I've been called a gentleman all my life, yet the mind of the pervert has been quite in control on a number of occaisions. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
