I get the impression that you are a clever girl. And it's quite an achievement for you to have arrived at the independence that you have at your age. It's a worthy accomplishment.

I don't really understand why you've received the criticism you have, perhaps it was just the wrong time to post? This site can be very fickle, with a totally different audience and different responses depending on when you post and who is around at the time.

If you just had sexy pics I would not have upvoted you myself; but the fact that you do have something interesting to say and you can express your ideas enhanced your appeal to me. So, keep doing what you do and don't bother defending yourself to those who aren't willing to understand or support you.

Personally, I have a deep interest in the male/female dynamic as well as female desire and allure - these are topics that I research and write about. So, I quite enjoy your posts...keep them coming :)
