One trait that I find really sexy in a man is a real specific flavor of 'doesn't give a shit what others think' - not in an antisocial way, but like, clear principles and bravery/risk taking, and some level of power/independence that lets them have the independence to survive.

This is maybe louder to me cause I talk so openly about sex work, which is very taboo in more proper/successful cultures. It's interesting to watch men assess if they'll take a reputation hit or not by being involved with me. I don't mind the assessment, I just like bravery.

But even independently of that, there's some deep aesthetic or value system that rings true here, touches something I love; some fiery "I won't let you tell me what I can't be, and I am willing to suffer in pursuit of my self expression". This fills me with awe.

I think this is pretty baked in. The most pro-social and independent people I know were that way at 4yo too and don’t really know what it would feel like to be super worried but people think of you bc they’ve never felt it

(fwiw, I think of myself as pretty independent and socially deviant, but I was NOT like this as a young child)
