To have any meaningful relationship with some one,
takes a hell of a lot of courage.

Does it? I think it's just natural when you find the right person. Courage is the wrong word IMO. If I need courage to have a meaningful relationship, I'm probably in it for all the wrong reasons.

I guess how you mean or maybe your perspective.

I mean you put yourself all out there hide nothing, and risk the lady just laughs at you,
And I guess the biggest courage of all, is facing yourself.
Your own fears insecurities ego jealously.

Some one said freedom is not being able to do what you want when you want.
But freedom is being free from all ego insecurties jealousy etc etc.

A relationship starts with you the guy you see in the mirror.
Its easy to take the easy way out. Oh I hate you, oh you don't like me because your a stuck up bitch, I didn't get the job because I was the wrong color or gender or to old.

The hardest thing is to face yourself in the mirror, and say maybe I need some work here, maybe Im not as nice as I think I am, or smart etc. Blame yourself instead of the women your involved with your boss etc etc.
It is all ways my fault, my life is mine not some one elses. So the end result is my fault.

How many people have on this board and come out and said gold digging bitches or she only wants my money.
Im afraid that is an easy way out,
It shows a lack of courage.

Nakedness is vulnerability. See Dr. Brene Brown's Ted Talk on vulnerability. If you avoid being vulnerable, you might rob yourself of the opportunity to be truly joyful and happy.

This is a great TED talk...

Honesty...natural? What a big joke. Most of us don't even tell the truth to ourselves, never mind to a significant other...with all the abandonment issues, poor communication skills, and general lack of self-awareness? Please...

It takes great courage to venture into honesty and authenticity...and then to stay there, for the long haul.

Dr. Brene Brown's book is "I Thought It Was Me, But It Isn't -- Getting to "I am enough"". She talks about shame as experienced by women, but I believe that it applies very well to all.
