Oh, PUHLEASE!! Are you kidding?! Is it really that we all out here have inferiority complexes, or perhaps it's just you with a superiority complex?! You've got a real chip or twelve on your shoulders, it seems to me. That's why you have this incessant need to one-up practically everyone and everything that comes across this newsgroup. You're overcompensating. Do you really think you're some rare creature having a college education? Maybe during your college years it was less common for women to attend college, but honey, times have changed. Many here have multiple degrees, some even Ph.D.'s. And even if they don't, it's hardly something to be jealous about, and it certainly doesn't make anyone less smart than you! Do you really thing we're all jealous that you get to lie on your couch all day, too sick to work? Sounds like success to me! There isn't one thing about your life that I want or am jealous of. Not one damn thing.
I've got further news for you. There has been research study after research study stating that women have better communication skills than men. The reason you don't get along with women, is that women know the art of successful communication lies in not in the ability to speak affectively, but in the ability to listen effectively. Since you deem all womanly conversations as vapid and mindless, no wonder no women want to befriend you. You don't want to partake in anything they might might to talk about, you only want to talk about how you're sicker than everyone else, how you have a worse ex-husband than everyone else, blah blah blah. I'd run from you like the plague, too. Hell if I'd ever consent to coming over and helping you.
Although we have some great male contributors to this newsgroup, by and large this newgroup is comprised of women. In that past year, we've discussed politics, religion, geography, culture, sports, our families, our pets, and lots of other things that are important to us. Rarely has there been a conversation fawning over the latest fashion, but a few discussing youth and fads, and not one conversation about makeup!! Have you been listening?! I frankly LOVE makeup and would relish sharing tips about great products and the tried and true with other women. It doesn't mean that's all I think about. I don't wear it every day either, and since I had the baby, I rarely wear it at all, but I still wouldn't mind talking about it. Talking about baseball maybe makes you feel good about yourself. Giving myself a great pedicure makes me feel good about myself (but it's far from the only thing). I'm a woman, and I like feeling like one. That shouldn't make me any less of a human than you. It most certainly doesn't make me a bimbo!!
You've managed to offend Democrats, Republicans, Blue staters, Red staters, midwesterners, east coasters, Californians, and even some half way around the world. You've made offensive statements regarding light skinned people, dark skinned people, Native Americans, Hispanics, "lily-white" midwesterners, "under-educated single moms", the moral, the not so moral, the religious right, and the just plain religious.
The one that needs to look in the mirror the most, might just be yourself.
