Do you think people become more honest about what they want as they get older?
Or just better at knowing what they’re supposed to say?

Have you ever imagined someone's presence so vividly that, for just a moment, the empty space beside you didn't feel empty? What if you stopped resisting the illusion?

One strange thing about getting older is realizing how many things I once thought I would eventually understand.
Sex. Love. Friendship. Desire. Myself.
Instead, the questions seem to get better.

Which is harder for you to say honestly?
“I want you.”
“I need you.”
“I miss you.”
“I’m lonely.”
And why that one?
“I want you.”
“I need you.”
“I miss you.”
“I’m lonely.”
And why that one?

We talk a lot about body image as though it’s primarily a women’s issue.
I don’t think men escape it. I think we’re just taught a different vocabulary for hiding it.
Men: When did you first become self-conscious about your body?

A question for men:
When was the last time another man gave you a genuine compliment that had nothing to do with your job, your possessions, or something you accomplished?
Do you remember what he said?

I’m increasingly interested in the difference between being known and being seen.
Someone can know your history, your habits, your work, your family, even your secrets, and still somehow not see you.
Maybe intimacy begins somewhere in that difference.

When does privacy become hiding?
There are parts of ourselves we’re entitled to keep private. But I’m not sure that’s always the same thing as the parts we’re afraid to let anyone see.
Where do you think the line is?

Men are often better at talking about what they do than what they feel.
Desire. Loneliness. Body image. Intimacy. Insecurity. Even friendship.
What’s something about being a man that you think men understand privately, but almost never say to each other?
