Life without women seems unthinkable. Do women think the same about men?
I don't really know what or how women think. Sure, they tell me stories and they have opinions when I pose the question, but I wonder what would happen if we would meet in groups of 8 - four women and four men. I have experience with men's groups, but I would really like to start a mixed weekly conversation group.
Not that I expect to then understand "women." Far from it, but some questions may then be answered. Though men may not want to, but emotional and insecurity issues may then be addressed more honestly, improving communications. If we would try this on a one-to-one basis, many defense mechanisms will come to the fore, masking the real feelings. With a large group(6 - 8), there is support in place.
So, do you agree, and if so, how do we start?

I would like participate in an online group discussion. Because quite frankly, I love men, but I can become so vulnerable to this need that I have historically become pretty bruised and would really like to avoid this. Perhaps this discussion could help the women in the group too.
You could be the moderator, pose weekly questions and we could all post on your blog.
But before we start, just a disclaimer: I tend to run really high on feelings on empathy and can get so absorbed by someone else’s condition, that I put I aside my own strong feelings to help someone else feel better. I know this is unhealthy and probably stems from some crazy insecurity, but, well, there it is. And I’m a bad speller too. : )
Are you still considering a weekly discussion group?
