Being raised with 3 sisters and my mother, dad passed away when I was quite young, I learned the art of conversation from the women's perspective, perhaps that is why I always had difficulty relating to men on a male bonding level. I can remember many discussions when I was growing up on an intellectual level concerning politics or religion or other controversial subjects that were of different viewpoints yet always civilized not like men discuss such subjects. Personally I have always found conversing with women easier and more enjoyable than with men.
Am I the only person in the world who can see women participating in the 'one-up-woman-ship' talk? A lot of women (not all!) seem to be obsessed with social status, and will even make fun of another woman who is not dressed 'fashionably'. In the dating scene, many women will not give some men the light of day due to their social situation and education. Of course, men do this too, but the men I know tend to not judge other males based on their social situation....
