the art of conversation, en femme

Hmmm...maybe that's why I like going out with guys?

I could go either way. I think I enjoy the company of women more but really, sometimes Women don't like to talk about fun things like computers or motorcycles. And I'm way more fun than my wife so take that Cindy Lauper haha. I'm just being silly but yeah the conversations are a lot different when its woman to woman than man to man or even man to woman. Women talk about the kids and the house and shopping. I love to talk about my kids too but i like talking about computers too. Of course this is a generalization as I know women who are geeks like me.

We can always think of the exception that proves the rule. I too have known a few women who were more interested in social status than in relating to others - they don't seem to realise how ridiculous they make themselves look. Fortunately, in my experience they are a very small minority.

The vast majority that I have encountered in every country I have visited in the last 50 odd years are more interested in communicating in a civilised manner.
