The speaker argues that a mentally healthy woman wants to feel safe before becoming intimate with a man, and that how she approaches this can signal her stability and where the relationship may go.

Key points

• A mentally healthy woman typically needs to feel safe before intimacy; once she does, she is often comfortable being intimate often.
• The speaker claims a less stable woman worries less about safety because she does not believe the relationship will last, so she is intimate with many different types of men.
• The reason given is both psychological and biological: intimacy carries a risk of pregnancy, and the body is prepared for that, so a healthy woman is more careful about whether a man is safe for her and a potential baby.
• Safety often looks like opening up slowly and quietly; if a woman warms up gradually, the speaker reads it as growing comfort.
