In general, women are very social creatures. As a result, they tend to worry about what EVERYONE thinks and often start to conform accordingly, even if they don’t believe it themselves. Otherwise known as the Herd mentality.
You described my wife perfectly. She wants to be like them, and do what they do. I love her to death, but she does more with her friends than with me.
Oh, well.
Yeah. Wish I had a quarter for every time I heard a woman say we should consider the “social” angle of this or that. And, yeah, that includes my wife.
