3. ok gals... i am going to take it there. maybe, when a woman speaks like a man

saying blunt, to the point, ect... as men say they want us to do.... it is preceived as anger with woman, and a man gets the thumbs up

i have found it in all manner when talking to men working at house, or me buying something or paying for service.

hubby and i had conversation the other day. with paint. i thought it not right color but left it to him cause had alreay dealt with a couple men that go into defense mode. and this man i already pegged with ego and always right. when hubby asked why i left to him, i told him, if i said it the way it was, then employee thinks i am being a bitch and i am tired of it. and i am not going to walk on eggs for some mans ego....

just a thought

now, does that sound angry. cause i am not. hubby and i did a eureka on it and had a laugh adn better understanding of what i experience that he does not.

blm... good seeing you

4. occasionally, which to those who know me is hilarious as I am really laid back and seldom angry

but despite my optimistic, smiling tendencies I do get pensive sometimes, and when in thought I suppose I could come off as angry. That said, I think sometimes people read into people too much and make assumptions based on little evidence.

The biggest way this happens (the seeming angry thing) tends to be via email, perhaps because it's so impersonal.

5. I was referring to RL, but it certainly occurs a lot in email too. nt

6. yeah, it's happened in real life too

actually when I first met my SO, she thought I was PO'd about something and I wasn't.
