Quote:I don't have much longer with Stage 3. I'm going to miss it. Once I got past the initial adjustment period, it became my favorite stage so far. If I had to describe it in just a few words they'd be: strength, confidence, and charisma. One way those traits manifest themselves is in social/flirty behavior. This past weekend was engaged in some friendly banter with a female bartender. It was nothing more than playful conversation but it's a definite change in behavior. This is very unlike me. Stage 3 has brought out a side of me that I haven't seen since I was in my early 20s. It's nice. I feel more vibrant and youthful. The difference between me now and me in my 20s is that I'm much more confident now than I was back then. I've even caught myself looking in the mirror and thinking, "I'm a handsome mother fucker." That has happened multiple times with stage 3. Again, that's not like me. At first, stage 3 seems to have been a bit jarring to several women who know me, including my wife. Most everybody has warmed up to it and are a actually more open with me than usual. My wife is still adjusting.
