In my experience:...A,<br /><br />there is something there...<br /><br />In my experience: Women are after fantasy (hence prose gets them no matter what). Men are after facts (and possibly clear opinions) and tend not to *talk* too much about it. Gay men are after something in between. <br /><br />:-D <br /><br />It's an interesting discussion.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-70123800061829238902012-07-06T08:54:05.516-07:002012-07-06T08:54:05.516-07:00Perfumeshrine:
I like your theory!
In trying to ...Perfumeshrine:<br /><br />I like your theory!<br /><br />In trying to account for the rise and fall of individual blogs, I’ve been looking at external factors: limited time, the effort required, lack of audience, etc. Instead, you go directly to internal motivation, namely fragrance infatuation. Not only is this a plausible explanation for why perfumistas start blogging, it comes with a built-in reason for why they quit (and when).<br /><br />Sort of like programmed cell death in neurobiology . . .<br /><br />It also provides an aesthetic standard by which readers judge blog quality. Yes, we read for descriptions and evaluations of perfumes, but we also expect a falling-in-love narrative.<br /><br />Dare I suggest this is why so many fragrance bloggers & readers are women?

Or to realize creative differences and part ways. But the beauty of it is that that intense period creates torrid passion and some palpable longing when it's over.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-74032655301089927682012-07-02T06:39:21.125-07:002012-07-02T06:39:21.125-07:00So nice to see Rita mentioned!So nice to see Rita mentioned!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-42032741412973184522012-07-02T04:30:24.230-07:002012-07-02T04:30:24.230-07:00Thanks for the mention, Avery!
