'Serenity'
[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.
My statement was a bad reaction to this:
No offense to those of us who are with the ovaries and whatnot, but there was a VERY good reason most my friends in high school and college were guys.
It upsets me to see women make these kinds of disparaging remarks about other women. Still not a reason to make a disparaging remark about men, so I apologize.
I'm sorry, GC. I didn't mean to cause a bad reaction in you.
And no need to apologize for what has been your experience.
Thanks, Aims. While it pretty much has been my experience, I pulled it out specifically to show men in a bad light in reaction to a statement that (I felt) showed women in a bad light. So I truly am sorry that I did exactly what I was bothered by.
Good luck... I'm currently agonizing over this from the other side. My friend B. cut me loose a few months ago and I'd like to send her a birthday card...I feel it is always okay to send a note or card. It is just best if you don't expect a reply, good or bad. Frankly, you can't know if the card will be happily received or torn up. But if it can work out happily or just quietly heal some bad feelings, it's a chance worth taking if it is one that you fling into the wind with no expectations.
People are just so complicated...
This is why we should all live in caves.Yes! Caves! I like this.
It's all good, GC. {{{much love}}}
Caves are good, as long as my family isn't in the cave with me.
I tend to make guy aquaintances more easily, but bond more closely with women. Well, in face-to-face contact. The Buffistas have skewed that quite a bit. Still - I tend to hang out more with guys, but have the deep conversations with women.

I would say that that is a more accurate telling of my friendships, juliana. Thanks for saying that.
In my situation (I don't feel I can speak to anyone else's), I feel like the birthday card was a copout. A way of feeling like she was trying to make amends without, you know, actually having to try and make amends.
Also I find, male, female whatever, either one is capable of being an ass. I have 2 best guy friends who I've known for 15 years and 5 girlfriends I've known since I was 13. I can't say none of them have never hurt or dissappointed me (or vice versa), but they've been straight with me, have never been cowards when it comes to facing the problem, and I've never felt like our friendships have been a one way street where I don't get hurt as long as I'm not in their way.
I'm sorry for going all snippypants. Let's blame the other stressors in my life and hug it out. {{{all my male and female Bitches}}}
