I will agree with that....... I know for sure you won't want my wife checking any lug nuts

On the other hand everyone here knows how i spell, and she can spell typing 95wpm, and look anyplace else but at the keyboard, and still yet talk about something entirely different. That just gives me the creeps.

Interesting topic. Friends are struggling with this exact same issue, not understanding the perspective/experiences of the other gender.

I'll throw this out there for c-d's opinions...

Mixed-gender group hanging out. A guy turns to the woman on his right and insults another guy in the group by saying to her, "He's worse than a woman," and rolls his eyes. The woman was upset about the insult which she thought puts down women as well as the guy he was intending to insult. The guy tells her to lighten up, she doesn't have a sense of humor.

Is the guy a jerk? Or is the woman overly sensitive? What say you, c-d?

That's one reason why "mixed groups" hanging out together are generally a bad idea.

No mixed-gender groups of friends? That sounds dull.

What's your opinion? Is the guy a jerk in that instance? Or is the woman overly sensitive?

She's overly sensitive, but that's to be expected with women sometimes. His timing was just wrong. Last week she would have thought it was funny. He should know better.

And now we all know why Pilgrim doesn't hang out in mixed-gender groups.
