Geez, is their anything people don't get offended about these days? Obviously, she is not one of the guys, and should stop pretending she is, and find some women to hang out with.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

People are offended every second of every minute of every day. I bet she's a lot of fun at a party!

They are dreaming about all the ways the world has offended them.

It's interesting that the LW refers to herself as a "woman", but to the other presumably adult females as "girls".

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

LOL!!!

When a guy (teenager or adult) meets a woman for the first time, in the first 1/10th of a second his brain does an evaluation of whether he'd like to have sex with her or not.

Then usually he will shift into reality. (Unless he's drunk, of course.)

My guess is that she would like more than just friendship with one of these males she is hanging out with. Her biggest mistake is to play the friendship game thinking it will lead to more.

When a guy stops evaluating a woman, he's dead.

I'm offended.

Why do people write letters proclaiming the obvious?

Unless he's gay. Then he's not evaluating her, he's evaluating her wardrobe. ;)

There's no "pretty much" about that one. It's absolutely true.

Women do the same thing only we're looking to see if they can provide for a family. Men are hardwired in a different way than women even if we don't like to admit it.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

I hang out with guys, but if they say things I find offensive, or that make me uncomfortable, I say so. Politely.
If she is really such good friends with these guys she should be able to express herself to them.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

"Hey, I know we have different thoughts about this, but can you not talk about people of a different race like that in front of me?" "I don't agree with you about gay people, and that word you used is extremely offensive. Please don't use it when I am around." "Um, I am a woman. Would you like to rethink those derogatory comments you just made about my gender?"
Generally, I only have to use these phrases once, and then the guys apologize, and we all move on. This girl needs to put on her big girl pants and speak up.

Where's the one about eating 3x a day? I do kind of struggle with that one. I dont' personally need to eat breakfast, lunch and supper, lol. So, there have been times, I was like, oh yeah, I didn't make lunch. biggrin

My kids want to eat like 5 times a day. It's rough.

I know but I really don't care to eat 3x a day. I usually skip breakfast. And, if I have a bigger lunch, then I just have like a bowl of cereal or something for dinner. If I have a light lunch like yogurt and a banana, then I will have more of a traditional dinner. DD is more of 3 meals a day type and she ALWAYS seems to want a bit of something later in the evening before bed, like a dippy egg and toast or something like that which requires me to get off my arse and pause Nancy Grace!!

DD calls it "second dinner" like a hobbit's second breakfast.

I dont do breakfast either. I think it's too early to eat. But lunch and dinner are my world!! Love them!!

Me too! I grab my coffee and out the door. If I don't eat till 1 pm or whatever, I dont' care. Yeah, I KNOW that I SHOULD eat breakfast. And, I did try to force myself when I was younger. Well, then I decided, I just don't eat like that and that is OK. So I dont' have to do all the "shoulds" in life.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

For decades, I NEVER ate breakfast. Part of me was convinced that if I started eating in the morning, I would not stop eating. And sometimes that was true...

That's the most sane thing you've ever posted.

Too many people want to ignore that FACT and pretend it doesn't exist. Whether it's from biology or environment, men and women are wired differently and place value and importance on different things.

Not so much now. I know a lot of women supporting derelict men.

That's true. It astounds me how many seemingly smart young women who appear to have a lot going for them get into relationships with jobless, drugged up losers--and, worse, pro-create with them with no plan for the future.

Of course, five years and two kids down the road later they realize they picked a bum and will often at that point ditch him--but a lot of damage has already been done.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yes. And usually everyone else knows he's a bum but they won't listen cuz they are "in love", whatever that means.

But he PROMISED to get a job.

He PROMISED to pay me back.

He PROMISED he wouldn't do drugs, anymore.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I know. The world just doesn't understand him and beats him down. Waaahhhh!

When my girls were younger we knew a woman like this. One night after we left their house, I spent the ride home explaining to the girls what was really happening in the house. How she was doing all the housework, working all day, making the money to support him, how he didn't pitch in to do a darn thing but eat and make a mess. I wanted my girls to see it for what it was. They mostly already knew but I wanted there to be no doubt. It was a great lesson for them. They were frustrated and mad that she wouldn't leave him. I told them to remember this feeling and not to ever let themselves get in that kind of situation. It's about self respect too - believing you deserve more.
