Nah.........  I'm past all that.

I'm old enough to be most of those guys mother !

 :D :D

We talk about all kinds of things  .  Movies, music, cultures, etc.

There can be a drama queen episode or two around there at times, and
it isn't always the gay guys.

But I do agree with you that, in my experience, feelings are a bigger part of the equation with women.  We do seem to get more hurt by cruel remarks than men do ..... although that's an over generalisation, I've known a few men who have got just as pouty as I have.  ::)

Yes, I am - as are all of us - not referring to everyone behaving in this fashion.  Just in general in our experiences.

Please note I made a generalization, not an absolutism.

Aha!! Yet another point of friction with inter-gender discourse: reading based on what is "implied," rather than what is written. Men are less prone to do that.

If you're not sure what I mean, or what my intention is, simply ask for a clarification.

From my experiences on here, men ARE prone to do that.
