The late Ayesha K. Faines called dominant Lover, secondary Sage women “Sophisticates.” It implies a level of calm, a mastery of one’s tempestuous nature I’ve never managed, and yet. I know. The same way I know I wasn’t meant to procreate and I am my very best self after 1.5 glasses of wine… When it comes to the Seven Feminine Archetypes, my psychology is dominated by the passionate, experience-seeking Lover and moderated by the cerebral, pragmatic Sage.
I wish this presented as cool, aloof, mysterious. It is, instead, dynamic and penetrating. A woman who lives for a good conversation over a medium-bodied Spanish red but will 100% get louder as the night progresses. One who is hot blooded and sharp-tongued. For whom an orgasm and “You were right” elicit the same bones-deep bodily satisfaction. The kind of woman whose happy place is a dimly lit bar, a glass of red, and an open notebook.
