I am overreacting a little bit Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 01/02/2012 10:00:09 PM
trust me, that woman can insult, and when she does, it's very direct. You have chosen to interpret her statements in a negative light. I don't read them that way at all.


It was more of a backhanded slap than an outright insult. She called out my sexual experience. I mean, come on, you just don't do that with a guy :)

As for the social bonding, it's less of a "man thing" and more of a "woman/emotional thing", but it's well documented that humans and other species like bonobos will have sex for the sake of improving bonds between individuals. In humans this usually only ends up occurring with one's significant other, but that's because of the constraints we have put on ourselves. Bonobos will have sex with most individuals in their group to keep the group cohesive. But a number of marriage therapists and individuals in related fields will note that relationships often deteriorate due to the lack or incompatibility of sexual activity. It's not just because people feel put off by the other person's unwillingness...there's been some evidence that continuing to have sex (or physical intimacy of some sort) increases certain hormone levels in both individuals that help encourage the relationship's stability. I regret that I can't remember more details from the articles I have read about it and don't have the links for you. But if the subject interests you, there's a LOT out there. Hell just researching the bonobos can waste hours of your day :P

I understand that you feel insulted and angry...but I think you really are over reacting a bit :)


It was fueled by anger and annoyance, so it was a bit of an overreaction.

It's pretty clear that the poster is hypersensitive and immature. - 01/02/2012 07:54:55 PM 1224 Views
It's called anger. Call it immaturity if it suits you. - 01/02/2012 08:04:23 PM 1327 Views
You also act as if I actively insulted you... which I haven't. *NM* - 01/02/2012 09:35:48 PM 754 Views
Actively? Maybe, maybe not. Passively? Definitely - 01/02/2012 09:57:02 PM 1193 Views
I think her point is that she's not using that phrase as an insult - 01/02/2012 10:01:13 PM 1069 Views

It's not so much that what you write is "wrong", but it shows you are a bit naive and inexperienced - 31/01/2012 07:28:09 PM 1393 Views

I suppose asking if "you're a bit of a twat" isn't an insult, but just a reasonable hypothesis? - 02/02/2012 12:41:50 AM 1101 Views
So after someone uses the online equivalent of yelling at me - 02/02/2012 12:58:06 AM 1207 Views

It got out of hand, sadly - 01/02/2012 09:50:46 PM 1114 Views
That perennial issue of tone on the internet, huh? - 01/02/2012 09:59:29 PM 1247 Views
ignoring things is usually the best way to keep them from squiggling out of hand - 01/02/2012 09:59:35 PM 1075 Views
True, true. I let my anger get the best of me. Lessons learned. - 01/02/2012 10:02:57 PM 1181 Views
