[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 1072998, member: 221"] I must agree. Part of the problem IMO is that too many from both sides of the aisle, male and female, look on their way of thinking as the "right" way. When it is really not a matter of right or wrong, its merely a matter of certain biological behavioral traits. It does not require approval so much as acceptance. And thats not saying that men or women should have a license for rudeness or bad behavior. The key to quality communication between males and females (and this is what most of my fellow posters have already been saying on this thread) is to recognize that men and women think and interact differently. When this is recognized, the mature individual, when interacting with the opposite sex, can adjust accordingly. In any group, it behooves the most mature person to adapt the most to (not necessarily conform but learn to deal with) the others in the group . This is, after all, part of the mark of maturity. IMO those who have been giving Afrodyte advice to the effect of "learn to cope better with the male attitude" are in fact treating her as being more mature than those she games with. This is thus, in effect, a compliment. This is not to say however that it is right for those in her gaming group to act as they do. They obviously have problems with dealing with the feminine mindset and should act better. But as they have not posted to this thread (that we know of anyway), it is easier to give Afrodyte advice on coping then it is to give them advice. [/QUOTE]
