NO -- so there!

It probably depends the level of maturity of the male and the female. Wouldnt you think?

I'm so sick of loud over the top women. Its hard to imagine but sometimes your point of view DOESNT' matter. Its not all about you and sometimes its not about you at all.

Your arrogance in this post is amazing. I dont judge success by just money and a house. Success also has to do with character, the type of person you are, and if you make others better by being around them.

I would run from you NOT becuase of what you have, but from what you are. And your post is very arrogant. Almost ripping on guys for not accepting you.

There is speaking your mind and there is just being an abusive A$$HOLE.
Communication is great. Let people know what you are thinking, but by all means use tact.
And for God sake , please understand you don't need to broadcast EVERY single thought in your mind. If someone bumps you by accident and they didn't know they bumped you, don't make a public ass of yourself yelling at them (true story of a really bad date). If you see a stranger on the street wearing "a unique style of clothing", don't feel as though you need to comment on their dress sense (another true bad date).
By all means, communicate your thoughts, but do it in a calm, rational and respective way.

Somewhere between remaining silent and submissive at one of the spectrum and a loud mouthed, rude arrogant jerk at the other end of the spectrum....is a huge expanse of possible personality types that range from shy and quiet to friendly, to 30 different shades of**** and everything in between. There is no right or wrong answer here and there is someone for everyone. In general, if you are considerate and respectful in your communication, I think the vast majority of people(men and women) will appreciate honesty(ie, speaking your mind). If you are rude, offensive or inconsiderate, then nobody, male, female, lover or friend is going to appreciate it for very long.

If you are hypothetically like that and your friends let you get away with it but your lovers don't, then perhaps its because either you don't fully act that way around your friends, while you take some liberties with your lovers.....or....perhaps you do act like that around your friends and they just make sure not to spend too much time with you to let it get on their nerves. Meanwhile a lover is sorta stuck with spending a lot of time with you....and their tolerance will be lower.

I think everyone is different too, but generally speaking nobody appreciates rudeness. On the other hand, some people may not wish to hear criticisms of any kind very often from their lover, they get enough of that at work or elsewhere. Instead they look to their lover for comfort and companionship. I'd suggest that might not be the right kind of person for you to be with.

By the way, none of this has anything at all to do with GUYS. This is basic common sense in both directions for everyone you encounter in life and intend to keep as a friend.

I for one do like women to speak their minds, after all trying to second guess someone is hard work and often inaccurate. I also like women who are confident and will disagree with me if they think I'm talking rubbish.

But how someone speaks their mind is all important. If delivered with bluntness it can come across as rude and unfeeling, whereas if someone makes a point with humor (very useful if you have something potentially hurtful to say) or if it is delivered clearly, calmly and as part of a conversation then you have a woman and a man who respect each other as equals.
