It takes a while for younger women to realize that men are not like women and it's best not to treat them as such. Hang in there... |
Yeah.........a huh..........can you move to the left, I can't see the game. |

I agree completely. I think the feminist movement confused a lot of people in thinking equal means “the same” we are different genders. We think differently. We communicate differently.
The worse part about it, is that often women often are absolutely convinced that they’re way of communicating is right and guys are wrong. | |

The #2 rule is, when in doubt, refer to rule #1. | |

I didn't say that the women's way of communicating is wrong, no more than the way men communicate is wrong. We are both right in our chosen methods of communicating.
However you will be unsuccessful in communicating effectively if you do not adjust your style to the gender you are speaking to | |

I was jsut egging you on of course I realize you knew this and were just playing along. I would rep you for that but I can't yet so future rep points to you.

As my excerpting skills above show, men are a lot like dogs when it comes to understanding your species' communications. We pick up only a few words here and there. Like our names, "food," and "bad boy." We react to the general emotional content of women's expressions or certain terms that inherently excite us -- note how our tails wag when you mention sex.
Heh. Women. | |

| Besides... if you follow the conversation.... I admit it bounces quite a bit, but we're EPEEists and don't play by a lot of rules and we like to bounce... The comments have to do with EPEE... Originally, S'wench was asking for advice on how to get to go to a EPEE camp.
Sciurus-Rex & broncofencer (both EPEEists) joined in with comments regarding something I (an EPEEist) said about a post giving her advice.
Teasing among EPEEists happened… rep was given… looks like a normal day on the "EPEEist Only" thread...
