What exactly is "thinking like a woman"?
One look at a woman's prison and I'd say there's nothing "peaceful" in those negotiations.
To say an individual is "non-confrontational" based on gender or appearance is being rather bias, don't you think? I mean, here is a whole community breaking social "norms" to be accepted as the individuals they are, presenting as the opposite sex and then a generalized statement comes out like that.... It defeats the purpose of being who you are as an individual if you are expected to adhere to another's idea of "acceptable behavior".

But first: I get worked up by the road morons, on my way home from work. Clock into this site, with my glass of merlot. I read thru the Forum posts. Laugh at some, cry with some, ( no, not literally), and respond to some.
I USUALLY know what the post-er is talking about. Because, for the most part, we're guys!
Then, I read a post like yours. It APPEARS to have been written by a woman. Because like most men, I could never, ever figure out how GGs think. And only occasionally, understand what they're talking about!
Do u mean, the gurls here r all sweet when everyone is talking nice? But, get their panties in a bundle when someone responds negatively to them?
Well, I for one, get REALLY PISSED OFF when someone takes that tone! And I'm NOT going to take that kind of crap from anyone!
Is that what u mean Em?![]()
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

Holy smokes Amanda - that was last week! You gotta keep up! It's the Australians we gotta keep our eyes on now! Have you NOTICED how many Australians have joined the forum lately???!!! It's like Suzy took out an add and started recruiting. Soon they're gonna have the rest of us outnumbered and then it's all over except the crying. You know, now that I think about it, maybe I could deal with having a "Dear One" instead of a president!
Hold it - is that treason?? Think I better log off and pack up . . .

I'm all for negotiating. But, negotiations go a lot smoother with superior firepower.![]()
Interesting debate. While I agree that there are agressive females and gentle males, if you look at U.S. prison statistics, the male to female ratio is greater than 10:1. Unless I'm totally naive, it suggests that men are way more reckless.
Of course I don't know how women think, because I'm not one. I just listen and observe (and yes, I do know several women), and conclude that on the whole women are far less agressively confrontational.
For the guys who want to be guys, but CD, I hear your point.
Anyway, I avoid agressive types, male or female.
