Some GRS names are partially immune to the aggressive connotations associated with the growling GR phoneme (found at the heart of the threat-words grizzly, gruff, grab, gross, grimace, grimy, and grouch). The letter S (or its counterpart in the sibilant letter C) counteracts the effects of the forceful G, and infuses these names with their distinctive sassy sensuality. This dichotomy can produce in the GRS’ an internal conflict that requires a special kind of intelligence to resolve, and although the pressures of this inner struggle might be manifested by symptoms of emotional instability, they are usually well hidden from the public.
The GRS’ strongest point has to be their exceptional skill at steering their own ship and encouraging other to do the same. Many GRSs live their lives in unconventional ways -- spending a year or two abroad, or earning an esoteric degree – but those that do enter the business world, prove to be superbly well equipped to grease the wheels of commerce. Like most G-named people, GRS are in the highest tax-brackets and derive a great deal of their self-worth from their careers and their accomplishments. With negotiating skills second to none and verbal skills that could shame Bill Clinton, you’d think that GRSs would make outstanding leaders, but they have no aspirations for controlling other people. They would much rather be part of a team in which every member contributes his or her own input. Anyone unable to match the GRS’ pace will be gently eased out.
With their unique blend of poise and sensitivity, GRSs inspire respect in others and have an expectation of respect from their friends and lovers. GRSs are not above using their intellectual prowess or corporeal charms to manipulate others; but since they have no real malice in their hearts, the manipulatee is in very little danger of being taken advantage of.
A GRS is not the mate for you if you’re into things like mysticism, UFO’s and conspiracy theories. These are pragmatic individuals whose spiritual essence comes from a down-to-earth understanding of natural laws. But although they’d never admit it, the GRS personalities are true romantics at heart, and prospective suitors are advised to pay homage to the little things in their courtship regardless of the GRS’ protestations. Hallmark, roses and (expensive) champagne will win the GRS heart over an engaging intellectual debate any day. And once the GRSs are happily ensconced in a committed relationship, their barriers will come crashing down to reveal a remarkably amenable mate.
