Like it or not we speak and think differently. We are supposed to.

I tend to be more kind and gentle to women (upbringing) and more irreverent to men. Men that don't like that kind of friendly-rude camaraderie, I just do not understand.

I hate anything "touchy-feely". It helps to know whether that vibe is coming from a man or woman.

While we are on a sort of related subject. I do not understand a husband and wife who post on TOTV as one. How can any married couple ALWAYS think alike? I know some who even use the same email address. What is that all about?
I have a good friend who just won't get her own email. Her husband claims he doesn't read her emails, but he does. He has frequently responded to emails I sent to her, not realizing he is giving it away that he monitors her mail. Drives me nuts. I feel that we can only communicate honestly by phone.

The rest of your post is spot on, in my opinion, Indy.
