mailin 0 #76 May 11, 2005 QuoteBefore every one starts with their one example where it was the exact opposite I am talking about most not all. And you can make that statement because you know MOST of the woman in the world? My dad is a prime example of drama king - always has to be mad at someone or have something going on in his life that makes him angry. He says his anger is what makes him 'him'. Mom and I joke about how it alot. I know a bunch of guys like this (and no, you're not one of them), and yes, I know alot of girls like this, but I've chosen to keep the female friends in my life that don't add drama to mine. If someone doesn't like the 'female attitude thing' - then don't choose to associate yourself with one that has this need for drama and conflict in their life. Personally, I can do without alot of that stuff. Why add Drama to your life? It just makes it so that you have more to adhere to to keep up the drama - so why bother? Too much work!

Darius11 12 #77 May 11, 2005 And you can make that statement because you know MOST of the woman in the world?Quote as i said "In my past experience" baby you know i am a playaaaaa.............ok not really but it sounded good in my head. You know what dude. You mentioning your dad reminded me of my dad. He is so much more a Drama king then my mom. My mom is so strong and not in to that shit at all. I love my mom she is awesome.Ok you know I make the mistake of viewing all people threw my own eyes. You know how I am but you’re right there are guys out there who like Drama and women who don’t. Ok. But I still think guys get along better with each other then woman do SO THERE. You didn’t totally invalidate all of my post just most of itI'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lawrocket 3 #78 May 11, 2005 Okay. So what used to bother you you let slide. What about taking shit from a guy? You don't. You just change guys, right? My wife is hotter than your wife.

As to the rest of the thread - I know more men who are dramatic than women...although women tend to be more emotional - or allow their emotions to show - whereas more men don't show emotions (and at times, make ya wonder if they have them).Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

It ties in with our intuition as well. I think we tend to act out more because of our conditioning (big surprise, eh?). Historically denied power and therefore limiting our ability to express our thoughts and attitudes directly, we were conditioned to be more expressive with non-verbal communication. I wonder if the whole 'intuition' thing exists because women were not believed to have the same degree of rational thought and and intuition was the only societally acceptable way to get our opinions known.
