| Do women always assume you are hitting on them when you speak to them?

Problems of he said-she said variety are better left to be worked out through private messaging. Many times the intent behind words in public forums are misconstrued or misinterpreted and blown way out of proportion. Then blood pressure rises and irritation turns to anger. | |

Posted: 10/26/2009 5:13:43 PM | Look at your message 98 on the last page, the section that begins with
"You had no business being rude to Octobergirl about her word choice...."
Then followed a whole other passage about Pinkfairy. Sounds like a personal argument to me. What either of them have to do with you I have no idea. If they have a problem with RD they should contact him themselves and iron it out, not you. | |

Posted: 10/26/2009 11:24:02 PM | First off, I would like to say thanks to those who spoke in my defense. This is something that has never happened to me much in my life and it means a lot. Thanks.
For one thing, I never pictured myself as some kind of leader here. I post threads in order to try to get conversation going. At times I feel like a voice in the wilderness as some of my threads have died quick deaths. The thing is, ANYONE can start a thread/discussion here. In fact I wish more people would as I am running out of ideas. There used to be alot of traffic in here, and then, as Ripley said, a pack mentality developed. For a while I felt like an outsider here though I was here before most of the clique arrived. I will second Rip in saying thankfully most of them have moved on.
I admit what I said to Octobergirl could have been viewed as an attack. I didn't mean for it to be and I think I did apologise somewhere along the line. I do have a pet peeve about the word "conversate", which I will not get into again as there was a whole discussion about it a page or two back. At any rate, I am not perfect. I stick my foot in my mouth at times and often speak before thinking. I do not plan attacks on anyone though. Again, I have seen it happen and had it happen to me. It is not fun. It is cruel. Smiling Salmon, I have no idea what it was I said or did to you, but I do apologise. For a while we were exchanging emails then it stopped. I hope we can get past this and be friends again.

Posted: 10/27/2009 12:58:08 AM | No, you never apologized to Octobergirl. You know that. You apparently feel it is okay to attack someone then say it is okay because you aren't perfect. It isn't the first time I have seen you do it. Everytime I post in this forum I get attacked too and there is never a reason.
What are you apologizing to me for? No, we were never exchanging emails and the only reason there wasn't another one is because of you. You know that very well, too. Why would you say anything like that? What is the purpose except to try to make people believe something that isn't true? Please do not start now. I wouldn't welcome it. These things have been very eye opening. You are definitely not the somewhat nice guy I was giving you credit for.

Sorry ss, I'm part vulcan and I don't understand some of that. Hopefully all the parties involved can apologize, and be allowed to start from scratch. However, I'm not responsible for how someone else takes something, I'm only responsible for the intent in which it was offered. Period. Some people will just insist on taking things the wrong way to be contrary.
I jumped ahead to the end here, because I was feeling some of this topic's inference very recently. I think these women we guys are speaking of just can't tell the difference, between a mingle, a flirt and a "come on." A mingle is something I would do at a social event with a friend's wife. I'm just striking up a conversation to be social, to not stare at my drink or watch others, but get involved with the event myself. A flirt is something I'd do with a single woman I liked, felt some sort of affinity with, to joke with and just to let them know "I think they are alright." The "come on" is something I'd do with a woman where I'd gone through and was then past the flirt stage. The flirt stage being usually past the mingle stage.
Add one more dimension onto that for me personally. I am hearing impaired, so MUST lip read to some extent, especially in noisey environments. Well some women realize that I am not looking them in the eyes when they talk, and realize that my eyes are lower, but they automatically assume that I'm looking "MUCH lower than their eyes," instead of "just down to their mouths." If you know what I mean.
In many of these cases, I may laugh a bit to myself, but I do feel sorry for the people who have not got enough "together" to know better, either by treatment to them, or from a lack in environment and people being straightforward and honest with them, to set them straight.
So that's my two cents worth.
p.s. wow that's some good stuff, I should take notes...... set them strai.... | |
