No, I didn’t say sex ON Maseratis…get your head out of the gutter

I recently told a friend of mine that if I could have any car in the world, money and cost aside, I think I would want a Maserati.  Why?  Because of its…

Sexy body

Good looks

Smart engineering

Quality craftsmanship

But above all that, what makes a Maserati so valuable and intriguing is that…

Not just anyone can have it.

{This can apply to any high-end luxury vehicle, but I very rarely see Maseratis.}

Men are typically praised and admired for being able to get many women into bed.  I was even reminded by a friend of mine recently that men always double their actual “number”.  As if the more women you’ve slept with, the more attractive you are.  Not so, men.  I don’t think women consider that an attractive quality, or at least this woman doesn’t.

Sex is easy but it takes a real man to be intimate.  It takes courage to be intimate.  Casual sex is the cheap substitute for something deeper and more meaningful, which requires vulnerability, trust, and emotional honesty.  Sorry but anyone can have casual sex these days, that’s not an accomplishment, and it doesn’t make you more valuable.

The value of something is determined by the amount someone is willing to pay for it.

I believe that every human being is valuable, of course, but if you don’t value yourself, it’s hard for others to value you.  If you are willing to be with anyone, you lower your value.  You know what I’m talking about, that guy who will flirt with any attractive woman just to see which one will be easy and have sex with him.

Not only does it make you more valuable in a woman’s eyes if you aren’t willing to sleep with anyone, even if you can, but it also makes her feel more special if she’s the one who is with you.  Being just one of many never feels that great.

Have you ever known someone who dishes out compliments all the time so that when they give you a compliment, it doesn’t really mean much to you?  It’s not wrong to see the beauty in every person, but people like this dish out compliments out of their own insecurity.  Well it’s the same with people who dish out themselves out of insecurity….then if you were to be with them, it wouldn’t mean much….they’re willing to be with anyone.

I’m not talking about being “expensive” or thinking you’re better than others.  It’s about having standards.  No matter what you look like, how much money you make, how smart you are, whatever…you can sense when someone has standards vs. when they are willing to sell themselves.

Don’t sell yourself at any price….the Maserati doesn’t…but the Camaro does.

You are a Maserati…don’t act like a Camaro
