Leading and Pursuing

Here’s another thing with women. Literally every single woman I know wants two things from their men: to be led, and to be pursued. See, that confuses me. Because at least superficially, that seems oxymoronic. How can men simultaneously lead and pursue?

But every woman also insists that it’s not contradictory, and I don’t really think it is, I just find the superficial disparity interesting. You know what I really think. I think women want men to lead them where the women want them to go. Take the initiative to do everything they want and they’ll be happy. Because as much as they want to be led, it’s not just an open invitation to lead; the leading itself isn’t enough. I’ve tried leading Jieun to Robotech, live sporting events, Elliott Smith and a host of other things, and boy did that not work.
