[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because boys WILL be boys. And girls WILL be girls. The meme gets it right.
Two boys talking: 
Boy 1: "Fake insult"
Boy 2: "Fake insult"

Two girls talking:
Girl 1: "Fake compliment"
Girl 2: "Fake compliment"

I'll hang with the boys any day.[/quote]

This.

Is why I prefer male friends over other women. 
[b]Women are catty and downright evil[/b] much more than men are. 
Men are more blunt and straightforward, at least the masculine manly types usually are moreso. [/quote]

This has not been my experience. I'm sorry it's been yours :( I really value my female friendships with kind, genuine, thoughtful women. My husband is wonderful and we have a very deep connection but most other men I know (including my good female friends' husbands) are shallow and kind of one-dimensional. I couldn't ever have a real emotional connection with any of them. So I guess it really just depends on the individuals you know and not generally that women are catty. I think it also depends what kind of job you have. When I worked as a teacher, women weren't catty. When I worked in social services, women weren't catty. When I worked a more corporate type of job, women were catty. When my daughter went to a fancy ballet studio, the other moms were catty. When my daughter did rec center ballet, the other moms were not catty. Etc.

I think there’s a mom on here who came to anonymously post about dickhead children while telling others to parent who may disprove your point.[/quote]

It must only be my screen, but I missed your name. (I have my guesses).[/quote]

I didn’t say I’m like you. I’m saying that if you’re on an anonymous site making snarky comments you’re not as kind as you think you are. This site is abbreviated DCUM for a reason.[/quote]
