female friends
Now I have a lot of female friends. And at one point or another, one of them has been really pissed at me because of something I said to them.
Now, I dont regret any of these things that I have said, because they were my honest opinions. I have been called harsh But I still dont regret them because I didnt say these things with any malice.
However, I realize that women, or rather it seems the women who I am friends with, take these things personally, as if I am attacking them as opposed to the particular situation that I give my advice on.
So from now on, so as to keep some sanity in my life I am no longer going to offer my opinion on much unless they specifically solicit my opinion. If after that they still get pissed, well they can sod off. Doesnt mean I love them any less though

What brought this on? And you couldn't keep your opinion to yourself if you tried :) You just need to learn tact. :P
tact?
well tact is relative. you just want me to sugarcoat stuff.
oh i keep my opinion to myself quite frequently my dear.
as for what brought this on, is a long story
Tact is very important.. instesd of sayin.. "u look sus" say.. 'maybe u should try something else'...
As long as the opinions were there to make them better people rock on dude. The truth hurts (and who cyan tek it haffi splurt!)
but thats the thing rhanda, i am never talking about appearances or anything like that.
i am usually talking about something that happened or a choice they make.
at any rate I dont see the point in encouraging potentially destructive behavior.
