What sort of women have you been hanging around with, Darling? That would be maddening.
Speaking as a woman who's been picked on rather savagely her whole life, it's hard to *tell* sometimes when a man is teasing or joking. I generally figure that I AM the joke, so it's less of an issue for me. I just cant take myself that seriously most of the time. Other women, I'm not so sure. It takes them longer to learn that they don't have anything to prove.
Indeed. Childhood, teens and twenties were brutally horrid for me. Thirties weren't exactly spectacular.
I love a rousing debate and will defend a point I believe in quite rigorously at times..........but I am about negative 10 when it comes to any sort of competition gene. It's generally more of a "at least acknowledge I have a brain rather than complete disregard me along with my point" kinda thing.
Humour I've got in spades. Unfortunately it's often a very dry, deadpan, delivery......which tends to confuse people, especially via written word. I actually take myself far less seriously, than those that don't know me well, believe. I've also discovered that I really REALLY grate on the nerves of people that lack self confidence of their own. I don't know why, but there it is.
The only dominant women that really annoy me at all are the ones that play the, I am younger and hotter card, or the, I was young and hot but now I am so wise that my not being young and hot is so irrelevant, card.
Honestly, there are pluses and minuses in both stages of life. The young hot ones that play that card though, only seem to appear threatened by the older women and feel the need to strut their youth and hotness as an over compensation. The older women that play the I am wiser and therefor better card, only seem to come across as desperately over compensating for the loss of their youth and hotness. It all falls into the whole 'methinks the lady doth protest too much' category.
Not all young and hot dominant women are clueless bints, regardless of their occasional strutting. (many of the less hot,'wise' older ones probably did their fair share of silly strutting in their day also). Not all of the older women really are as wise as they would like to believe they are (proven by their own continued train wreck life choices)
So yeah, I think it's the, often catty, competitiveness that bugs me most. It's silly. It makes all who participate in it look foolish.
And yeah, I've made a fool of myself all too often.
