Nope, :). Next question.


C'mon, now, I could swear that that's the attitude described by a lot of the women on this particular thread and in modern life in general.

What am I missing?

She say's: 'I have standards for how you must treat me and conduct yourself that are inviolate'. She says: 'My world doesn't revolve around you.'

None of which is unreasonable, BUT, I don't see how what Cogadh na Sith differs from the standard for the modern woman.

OK, I think we may be arguing semantics here.... The original sentence from old bitter buckets was-- "I'm not going to do something for you in hopes you'll like me, you'll do something for me in hopes of gaining some rare approval."

I took the first sentence to mean him saying "I won't do anything for you, even to get you to like me"
And the second sentence to mean "Women will do antyhing for men to get them to like them".

Which ain't always true. Often, we couldn't give a rats patooty what ya think about us. Really.

OK, maybe most of the time.
