Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I spend a lot of time trying to convince my sister to stop reading between the lines and deciding on a conclusive (and always negative) meaning of what her guy said.

Doesn't make it that much easier to stop doing it myself -- though it is more embarassing.

Isn't this the whole point of the He Just Isn't That Into You book that's going 'round?

What is even happening?

Well, if we can talk in generalities. I do find men say what they mean, but I don't run across many who say it all. I think that's why some women play the decoding thing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

More/less so than women do?

I think women do overanalyze more than men do, but I'm not sure we have any more reason to.

My new hair can (kind of) be seen here. [link] Hopefully there'll be more when the people with the real cameras (as opposed to camera phones) get around to uploading.

I don't know. Probably just differently. I also think more women are, generally speaking, socialized to please. They say we smile more (which might explain why I've had people tell me to smile all my life, or ask me if I'm angry or upset, when I'm perfectly content).

I think women do overanalyze more than men do, but I'm not sure we have any more reason to.

If there is any truth that women relate differently than men, that might explain some of it. I suspect though, that if there is girl-speak, then the men that get girl speak probably have a huge cross-over section with the poor guys that are inexplicably usually pigeon-holed in the buddy role.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I don't think women (as a whole) think relationships are more important than men (as a whole) do, but women I know tend to think relationships are more worth discussing and analyzing. It might also have to do with showing weakness--sharing doubts and revealing you don't know what the heck is going on is not a position of strength, so men may have those thoughts but not readily share them with friends.
