Scoop 0 #1 October 30, 2006 OK, why when your talking to some women, your in a good mood, everythings cool, do they want to tell you how shitty everythings going for them!? When I say 'hows things' or 'how you doing' I'm just being polite, I don't really want to know, I expect you to say 'yeah good thanks, you?' Blokes don't do that, their house could have burnt down with all their family trapped inside and they'd still give a positive reply. In short, I don't care that your boss is giving you a hard time, I don't care that someone cut you up in your car or that your boyfriend is being a prick just lately. I just want to have giggle, a laugh and a joke so please don't ruin it for me END OF RANT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #7 October 30, 2006 QuoteIn short, I don't care that your boss is giving you a hard time, I don't care that someone cut you up in your car or that your boyfriend is being a prick just lately. It's a mating call of a sort. It lets you know she's vulnerable and wants to see if you'll protect her. Remember that angst is still in vogue. That's when you let her know that you remember a situation like hers - it turns out the boss was spying on her in her bedroom and it should be checked out. You end the conversation with, "Let me know when you're ready to leave, and I'll have a look around for you." Go hang out with others, have a blast, andthen go home with her. All kidding aside, women are much more open about their problems and issues than are men. Most women find that interesting and most guys don't. Most women find guy stuff disinteresting, so women may often ask, "Who cares about football and other such shitty nonsense?" My wife is hotter than your wife.

windcatcher 0 #13 October 30, 2006 Maybe you shouldn't ask them such questions like "how are you?" And instead say things like, "I was going to be polite, and pretend to be genuinely interested in your well-being...but since I'm not, I probably won't ask you how things are going." edited to add: I think it's kind of shallow to ask someone how they're doing, when you don't really care to know the answer. The person you ask may really need someone to talk to. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #17 October 30, 2006 QuoteI think it's kind of shallow to ask someone how they're doing, when you don't really care to know the answer. Not really. "How are you doing" is a socially acceptable greeting that typically requires a quick response to continue in what the conversation was initially started for. This is especially true when talking to someone who is not a close friend but someone you know socially or professionally. When a response is something other than positive, the response should be quick and not too dark. Something along the lines of "well, there have been some hurdles, but life continues." On the flip side, a close friend is someone who is assumed to want truthful answer and someone who truely cares about your situation(s) as they may be. This stems from the understanding that everyone has problems and stress in their life and people typically don't want to hear about someone else's problems unless they are close friends or family. Its not that someone isn't genuinely interested in seeing people they know have a good life. Its that most people don't care to hear about someone else's problems that is currently "ruining" their lives. Beyond that, its rude to discuss such things with people who aren't close friends, since you don't know what just happened in their lives. The stress of the drama at your job may seem important to you at this point in your life; however, you don't know if the person you just spouted all of your "ruined life situations" may have just lost a close relative to cancer or just learned that their child has an incurable illness.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

windcatcher 0 #19 October 30, 2006 I know what you're saying, however, I'm not going to get angry at someone for sharing things with me. I enjoy listening to people's problems if it makes them feel better and/or I can help in anyway. Maybe this is why I've considered being a counselor. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

I find the whole scenerio of speaking in scripts annoying. Your aeformentioned scenerio ( good morning script) , and the typical "please hold" scripts. You said you just expect to hear the scipted "good how are you" back. Dont' hate on those who speak outside the blah."I'm going to marry my novels and have short stories for children."

Because they haven't read the "Why do men assume . . ." thread. Because women haven't read "Why men are so fucking stupid" Bottom line: women are more complex creatures and men aren't - hence why they clash so much. We could read more into this but we don't want o seem like drama queens and plus you GUYS will stop listening after the first sentence anyways, and then when we say you are not listening (which you arent') you call us drama queens or too diffucult. Not trying to start an arguement, but just putting in my 2 cents. (which you men probably stopped reading after the first sentence anyways) ----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey!
