@ lamesabassman: Interesting point about projecting.

@ Dave: Oooooh. :) Au contraire, mon frere. ;) Pissy mood does not a weak woman make. Two scenarios: Woman #1 is in a really pissy mood. Dude makes his move. Woman gets more annoyed. “Can’t you see I’m in a pissy mood? Leave me the fuck alone.” Okay, second scenario. Woman #2 is in a really pissy mood. Dude makes his move. Woman is totally flattered, “Awww, he’s trying to cheer me up. He likes me. He really likes me!!!!” The difference? Woman #1 wants to be left alone until she feels better about herself. Woman #2 thinks she needs a man to make her feel better about herself. I’m all for compliments, and I certainly enjoy them when they’re lobbed my way. BUT, that said, in general, if I’m in a pissy mood I really wanna be left the fuck alone. :)

Just like lions when they attack the weakest, sickest looking zebra, sometimes men pounce when a women is at her weakest. From the comments it appears many women are painfully unaware of this tactic.

it’s not what you have on… or wear… but, what you project is what men notice
and feel the need to respond to …… and that’s if they are gentlemen….. slugs will
talk regardless….. and women do filter the cheese….. wonderfully…..

Such a compliment, delivered in a civlized manner, can shift one’s focus from the self to the eyes of others. I have never met a man who favored the use of heavy makeup by women.

Late, but here.

The lesson: Everybody wants to feel good even when they don’t.
Works for me :)

@ Crystal: Apparently you are! ;)

@ lamesabassman: Thanks. Enjoy Barbados.

@ kali: Ooooh, but see that’s where it gets tricky. I’ve learned the hard way, sometimes when you say thank you, it can be construed as flirting and/or welcoming additional attention. And, other times, it can down right rude if you don’t acknowledge the compliment. It’s tricky, I tell ya. TRICKY!!

@ Baba Doodlius: I wanna be on a tropical island, too! :) Manhattan’s an island, but it’s def not tropical.

@ wynsters the tigress: Yeah, I like all that shit. ;)

fbc, it’s absolutely true what they say. it’s when you’re least expecting it that shit like that comes your way…and by ‘shit’ i mean, good, positive, glowing, twinkly things like compliments and great job offers.
