But The Corrs sure have three talented women in their band.

Listen to this version of Ruby Tuesday and watch Caroline Corr rock those drums!

Third stage masculine is fully intergrated and a positive force in the world.


I'm intrigued as to why you think a really masculine man must necessarily be a negative force, and that the only positive traits are feminine.

How about courage, leadership, strength, fatherliness, brotherliness, responsibility, decisiveness, protectiveness, etc. These are all ideal masculine traits that are entirely positive.


I didnt say a really masculine man was a negative force. But without integration of his feminine side he tends to be cut off from feelings and lacking of compassion. 3 rd stage male is very masculine as is 1st stage masculine but 1st stage is not intergrated and can use masculine energy in destructive ways.

Caroline is the second eldest of the girls and the third shortest of the four Corrs. She achieved something no girl has achieved before...being one of the most talented drummers in the music world, and she's not a man!! (DUH!). Maybe you won't believe me but when I say she is a hell of a drummer it's true. She puts so much feeling in what she's doing and her skills and passion on the bodhran are amazing.

Caroline is possibly the shiest of the four siblings but also the most underestimated. She's the one who gets the least of the spotlight being behind the drumkit all the time. The way Caroline plays the drums is the main reason for the most of the Corrs" negative criticism (which is by the way totally unfair). She is definitely the best drummer and the cutest one as well:))

Well, it's a different kind of cuteness. She has a bit more muscles than her sisters because she's the drummer and drummers need muscles in their arms. That's why she's not as skinny as Andrea or Sharon (no offense!). Still, she is as beautiful as them (they do come from the same family you know!Smile)

Just like her siblings, the musical talent runs through her veins.

When you see her thumping away on those drums you just can't believe she's been playing drums only for a few years* (because in case you didn't know she originally played keyboards in the band). She learned to play the drums at 17 following the instructions of a boyfriend of hers.

I don't know that this thread should be titled "The end of men" because the way I've always seen it is that Mannish Females = The End of Women. I think that's why the whole concept of yellow fever came into existence. Many (no, not all) men will claim that they are interested in asian women because of their perceived hyper-femininity.

Let them have a crack at it.


The way I see it..men are likely to dominate in cultures reliant on primary industry. Because physical strength and practicality is required.

In the most advanced societies though, women naturally overtake them.

Men are not interested in second stage females( ones intregrating their masculine) unless they are 2nd stage males. Masculine men move to the east because of the attraction of all the first stage females. This attraction is fun but becomes painful as first stage females use their feminine side for personal gain (ie wears a short skirt to attract men who can support her) Problem is that third stage females who are intergrated females who are feminine are often too old to be attractive for third stage males, so you get both 1st and 3rd stage males in asia chasing 1st stage females.


Opposite sexual energies make things interesting, but many people date a marry in second stage becaue it is safe. Thats why so many people cheat as they go for the safe relationship but then screw and chase the unsafe relationships.

I'm an extremely dominant female but look very much not so. I can be docile or a lioness, depending on my mood. The thing is, with being dominant, I prefer even MORE dominant men. That doesn't change the fact that I like a man to have a grooming regimen.

This stage 1 stage 2 new-age jargon is hilarious. You SURE you don't take anything, DD?

Not new age jargon there ny as not everything outside of your experience should be labelled hippy or new age.

Just a simple way to explain a very complicated subject. Ny you are stage 2 dominant trying to be left brained dominant and integrate your masculine. I just push you to open up more and become more feeling and feminine. Stage 3 awaits and is much more fun than trying to be who you are not just to fit into society.

Whats in it for the guy though? A lifetime of having to constantly dominate someone else or be discarded. A competition, essentially.
The only way a man can naturally do this in a relationship is if he's not really that into her. Nothing can ruin his composure, because he has no real feelings to hurt in the first place.

* What if the guy is also looking for someone more dominant?
Where do these endless steps of hierarchy lead exactly...

I know what you're talking about, but it's hilarious because usually people call ME a hippie, and you make me feel like wearing ivory and stomping on baby seals. You sound like an emo bitch.

Or, he's really dominant and it's no contest Wink

Some girls dig alpha males. It doesn't mean they aren't sophisticated or feeling, or that they can't enjoy a relaxing weekend without challenge. Competition isn't always cutthroat. It can be fun. A lifetime without challenge is boring, though.
