I hate when... (Page 3)

HerDeltaFlyness - 2012-06-17 10:24 AM Oh look!! My legs are getting other females private messages!!! Just kidding.

That just means they are really, really good legs!

Rug? what rug?

I am up to my eyebrows in passive aggressive catty girls club at work.   I have two new people, one is just out of college, and they can't make a move without someone complaining and saying something like "well, it was the WAY she said it".  

I need to get out of this job and back to a mining camp where I belong!

But how do your legs look?  

meh

I am amazed at how I have never been accused of sexism or chauvanism when observing the dynamic of a mostly female office. My wife is in a situation right now where she is a supervisor, and really wants to change jobs. The negativity that has nothing to do with the work itself (which is pretty hard to deal with as it is: finding homes for abused and neglected children) is off the charts.

But it seems to be a universally accepted reality among every woman I know - they don't like working in large groups of mostly women.

I'm in a lone ranger job, so I have no idea what it's like to work in a testosterone filled environment, and I'm no alpha dog, so I get weird around a bunch of macho male behavior myself.

It has to be hormonal on both accounts. That said, a reality check on your male friends' interest in your athletic endeavors: based on your avatar, you are drop-dead stick-your-head-in-the-oven gorgeous. Most heterosexual men, single married or otherwise, will probably express great interest in whether or not you read the paper this morning. That's not to say you're not interesting, funny, intelligent or kind. Or that they are incapable of forming real friendships. But from square one, you have our attention.

And, by the same token, because you are drop-dead stick-your-head-in-the-oven gorgeous, most women will hate you. That's not to say you're not interesting, funny, intelligent or kind. Or that they are incapable of forming real friendships. But from square one, you have their attention.
