Maneater!

How many ways has this term been used? According to Wikipedia; 2 songs, 2 movies, 3 t.v. series, 1 novel, 1 comic and 1 newspaper. Of course, each one presented their own spin on it. I happen to like the literal definition most...
"A carnivorous animal that has developed a taste for human flesh".

Now....please don't get scared! I don't actually eat man flesh. Maybe just nibble now and then. LMAO

Someone brought this to my attention this past weekend. I have had 3 days to chew on it...lol....metaphorically speaking.

In my eyes, this term suggests a sort lack of compassion, love, respect and appreciation for the man. I totally disagree with the person who said that this is what I am. I love men! How can I be a maneater when I totally appreciate them, respect them and in a way...love them?

Now, with that said....I can sort of see how this term could apply. Even though I feel the way I feel about 'men', I seem to have a pattern of wanting them, getting them, having them and then letting them go. This could suggest; chewing them up and spitting them out....if you wanted to be harsh about it! It took me till my 30th birthday to see this pattern....that has been ongoing for about 2 years post a 5 year hiatus.

Is this wrong? I think not! I have many lady friends that carry on the same way I do. Some of them have progressed in life....and are now in a loving monogamous relationship. ROCK ON LADIES!  Some of them dabble with the same gender...and are therefore 'womaneaters'. Doesn't have the same ring...does it?! Some of them are not quite as aggressive as I am. Meh....whatever floats your boat.

For what left a sour taste in my mouth initially...has now given me a rather warm, tingly sensation of being a masterful woman. I would say....'oops I did it again'...instead let's remove the 'oops' part....I did it again!!!! LOL

P.S. Do I really look like I could be a maneater?
