Two Bit Psychoanalysis Vol. 1: raw goods, minor bruises

an oldie but notable goodie from the vault of fascinating, slightly damaged women...


...combine that with this irresistible force...



and I find myself thinking...what is it that's so attractive about "complicated" women such as these? As best as I can determine the answer is found in these traits:
(in no particular order)
1. they posses a refreshing lack of repression, despite the possibility that said lack of repression developed as a way of coping with some need for repression.
2. they are comfortable with uncomfortable truths
3. they exhibit a healthy dissatisfaction with right now
4. they propel themselves through life via a reckless need to make active decisions
5. their chosen survival technique has cultivated self-actualization that does not involve eschewing choice, joining a cult, or identifying with a spirit animal
6. they demonstrate a tenuous grasp on sanity rooted in the pursuit of ultimate sanity
7. they have a presumed acceptance of all of the above in other people

8. they affirm all these analogous feelings that you also have (vis actualization, craziness, etc)
