[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 1073059, member: 264"] Unless the female in your hypothetical situation is a founding member of the group, then yes; it behooves her to try and adapt to the existing group's way of interacting with one another. If I am invited to a black tie party and want to show up in a pair of underpants and a paper hat, that's unfair to the hosts. If I joined a bridge club, and their rule was "no smoking", lighting up would be rude and innappropriate. If I joined a D&D group where the prevailing interactions were based on the well-structured, "everyone speaks" model of [i]Robert's Rules of Order[/i] (used in the British Parliamentary System I think), and I chose to just sound off whenever I felt like it, [i]that[/i] would be poor and unpleasant behaviour. Nothing changes when you replace "Robert's Rules of Order" with "Typical Male Behaviour Patterns". They are the model for interaction put in place by the founding members. Howdy :) You put words in my mouth, I didn't say anything close to "Guys are like that and its GOOD, you whining pansy"; We were asked to explain (or speculate) why the listed behaviours might be occuring and I stated why I felt they might be. If I was summarizing, I would probably describe my comments as "Guys are like that, and aren't likely to change based on New-Agey Lectures about 'playing nice'". Go read my post again and pull out apporpriate quotes, because I just re-read it, and I'm missing what you mean. [b][/b] No you're not. And the whole "well [i]excuse me[/i] for pointing out the obvious" sarcasm is a cheap and unnecessary shot. Heh, tell me about it. I used to be married to someone with a Psych Degree. I was analyzed about weekly for 7 years :) [/QUOTE]
