Reply #23: I AM a woman and I don't understand women.

[Jamastiene]

I'm sorry, ladies. I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't understand women any more than men do. I DO, however, understand men, oddly enough. I have always had male friends more often than female friends. It wasn't until coming onto DU that I have ever made female friends. I am beginning to understand women a little better, but I'm still a total dork when it comes to figuring out how to make a woman laugh or smile or feel good at all.

I don't know where the self loathing comes from with so many women. I just can't seem to win with most women in the real world. That's why I love the women of DU so much: Because so many women on DU are friendly, smart, nice and CAN take a compliment every now and again. Democrat women are DEFINITELY the coolest women in this world. That might as well be carved in stone somewhere. It's definitely different here than in the real world.
