New topic, stemming from Reading 10 discussion
I think that the easier it is to achieve something, the less valuable the thing becomes. This applies to commodities, relationships, services, etc. It's like the book we're reading for this class, talking about anticipation - the time of desire; that is where pleasure builds. I wonder if that applies more to females then men, you know, since a lot of men just don't understand the necessity of 'foreplay'. Is it a biological inheritance that women enjoy 'the wait' (not just for sex) more than men? Can enjoyment be quantified? Or, does removing the time of desire quicken the achievement of pleasure? (It could be a bit of both, depending on the context, ie 'a quick fuck' vs 'making love')... What do you think?

Do women enjoy the wait? Or is that something we are told to enjoy? Is it possible that we are brought up to be 'prey' in our relationships?
On another note, I think that accomplishment is a tricky subject to codify. There are so many variables that are at play in ones feeling of accomplishment. For instance person A and person B both are millionaire. Person A worked their whole life and often put in overtime, while person B won the lottery. Both people achieved the same thing but I would assume that person A would feel a greater sense of accomplishment. I think accomplishment is more closely tied to how difficult or rare something may be to accomplish on an individual basis.
Maybe I am a little off topic from what Bobbie was trying to get at….ooops….
