Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Boys are Dumb - Throw Rocks at Them Pt. 2

I have figured out why girls think boys are dumb....other than the fact that they are a lot of the time. Women tend to talk things out/over with their friends. Men don't do this. At all it appears. And oftentimes they get mad when women do. They don't understand why we do it, we don't understand why they don't. I talk to my friends about situations to get insight (most times from both sexes in case my female brain is missing something obvious to a man brain), maybe get validation for the way/things I'm feeling/thinking or when appropriate, a smack upside the head to make me see the way I'm feeling or the thoughts I'm having are completely ridiculous and unfounded. Granted, this isn't a perfect system. The "others" are only getting one side of the story....mine. But that's kind of the point. If I'm talking to a friend about something related to a relationship I have or some jackhole move my boss pulled, etc it is because I think I am either overreacting to a situation and need someone to talk me off the proverbial ledge or checking to make sure I'm not making excuses for that other person's behavior because I tend to avoid conflict. It's a system of checks and balances and despite its flaws, it works.

And that my friends is why women are better at relationships with others than our male counterparts, minus our overemotional moments but those are only there to make up for the male underemotional robotic moments. How's that for stereotyping?
