[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 6879550, member: 6688277"] I generally agree. And perhaps because I'm drawing on my experiences which can be completely anecdotal, but if I compare my wife, my friend's wives/partners and their friends - they analyse, more so than guys, every word uttered in their presence. They are offended much easier - not necessarily by the guys but by other females more so. This is not a slight against the opposite sex this is just my observation. My experience has shown that men brush off comments much easier than women. Again I mention this is obviously not the case with every woman or man and it is my experience with the women and men I know. Secondly can you honestly not imagine a single female with a group of five male gamers, how much more sensitive she would be than if she were with a group of 5 females. And again I'm speaking in broad terms. I certainly am a lot more self-aware/sensitive in the reverse scenario. It is a natural human reaction. So when I made the comment 'naturally so' I was imagining a female gamer at a male dominated table. You make mention of the words 'average' and 'correct' - what is the average amongst 5 thoughtless men and one female? [/QUOTE]
