Battle of the sexes.... I'm curious - Page 3

Now imo, consultants are a breed or species all unto their own.

Our consultants were from out of state, and all went from project to project together.
They all knew everyones business.
Someone said they only breed within their own.

I discount consultants. Esp groups of consultants in numbers under thirty, and mostly under the age of forty.

Not that kind of consultant. The best way to explain it is that they are customer service representatives with a fancy title.

I have real interesting conversations with people at work, male and female, all of the time.

But generally I couldn't tell you who is married. Who is single, if anybody here is dating someone else here, or anything like that. But I couldn't say if that is because the network doesn't exit or if because I care so little people just don't offer the information.

I also don't tend to talk about myself because it is, generally, none of anybody else's business. And I don't ask because I honestly don't care and also it isn't any of my business. That's the reason when someone says "You you doing?" to me it honestly doesn't occur to me to respond in kind (I don't care how you're doing so why would I ask?).

You forgot - Sorry I could never get that drunk.

Alex · 05-17-2007, 03:46 PM

That would be "No" I think.

LOL You guys are so funny.

Funny that you mention high school and notes. I was in high school and this older guy was into me. I wasn't in to him but friendly with him {my friend knew him, was his neighbor} and he took us to a few parties.

After said parties, it became apparent, even to dense me, that he was into me. I was polite and let him know I wasn't interested. The next thing I know he has dropped off flowers {garden picked} with a note telling me he would like me to be his lady, check the box 'Yes' or 'No'. {this was a guy in his early 20s}

Well, it was a funny thing to see my two friends and I rolling in fits of laughter on her den floor. {it didn't stop him, sadly, persistant bugger}

So, Alex, maybe it is a guy thing, this note writing?

Sorry to derail....

So silly. I've never understood the whole someone likes you but I can't say who thing. It's like some 3rd grade power trip.

Reminds me of when I was an exchange student. I'd overhear something like this - german word, german word, german word, KATE, german word, german word (I landed knowing not a single word of german). So I'd ask someone what was said, as it obviously was about me and I'd always get "you don't want to know". Umm yes in fact I do. Drove me bonkers.

If a girl wants a friend to tell a co-worker that someone likes him without revealing that she's the one who likes him, that's a flash back to junior high school. And it's LAME.

If someone tells a friend that she likes a co-worker in confidence, and that friend decides to tease the co-worker about someone having a crush on him, that friend is flirting with violating a confidence without actually violating it. That is childish. And LAME.

If someone tells a friend that she likes a co-worker and specifically says not to mention anything about it to him, but the friend says something to him anyway, that's childish and a little mean. It's also totally LAME.

If two girls chat about a co-worker one of them fancies, even if it involves a bit o' recon and gossip to learn more about him, that's typical girl behavior in the work place and is a perfectly acceptable kind of high school lame, but it's not childish or LAME in all caps. Heh.

Ponine · 05-17-2007, 04:33 PM

You are so 'to the point'. I love you.
let me copy your post into word and go leave it on his desk.

I like the way you put that.

LOL Poor bastard is right. He may be the **** of the walk this week {to whomever} but it won't last....

Women can be quite fickle.
