get b*thier as they get older, or have they always been like that and they get worse? (I should say *some* women)
One of the main reasons I like the companionship of men over women is for just that reason. REEAAWWWWWaaaaal (watch out for the claws) .

I'm not sure I'm more b*tchy than I was before, but I've noticed I don't put up with as much as I used to

Yes, some women definitely do.

In general I'd say people either get better or worse with age. There's no in between or staying the same. Either you overcome your weaknesses or you give into them.

My Grandma is very sweet, and she's in her 80's so I dunno.

Yes, but are you polite when you don't put up with things or simply rude?

I'd agree with this.

And as is typical, immature men can't handle it, and degrade women by calling them such.

Very well put.

it depends on what the situation is. I don't get nasty unless it's really bad. I am more blunt and letting them know "how the cow ate the cabbage"

exactly,,more sure of myself now than before, but still try to be polite and well mannered

Hi Shasta!

Seriously...you've never met a woman like such and thought to yourself 'she's such a b*tch'?
My sister has always been like that, so self involved that she has no awareness of how her words affect others. I've recently met 2 other women...separate worlds, that the same thought comes to mind after encountering their words or witnessing them. I really feel bad for them tho.

Hey- whatsuupppp? New beau, I see

I think there are women that are that way. I don't know if they were always like that or whatever. I understand sometimes people have a bad day too. I stay away from the full time b*tches though

I'm not gay, Shasta!

that's a new one for me. Ok, tactfully strong...of course if it's bad we stand up, I'm talking about the normal conversation and they just say/do something like they just landed. I just can't imagine, learned a long time ago thats on autocheck...would I like that said to me? but then there's always sarcasm to help us out.

You got confused!

When I call a woman a b*tch, I mean it with respect, and usually joking. But then I see a b*tch as relating to all of the good qualities that a b*tch dog is, which include a terrific mothering instinct, strong loyalty, and love, and willing to put her life before others to protect them if needed. And for me, there's also the link to various B*tch Goddesses, which were later degraded by patriarchal means. Essentially, they are strong women, who won't put up with crap.

Otherwise she's just an arrogant hardass, and I'll call her such. My grandmother is a nasty old hardass, and while I respect her (barely) for what she's done over her life, I neither like her or have much to do with her.

I feel bad for them as well, but I would in no way bad mouth a dog (or a pig for men, or cops). But that's how I view things.

what?

I don't think so not generally anyway. Not for me personally,. I have chilled out and gotten much more relaxed over the years. I don't sweat the same stuff, I don't yell...I've become more flexible and adaptable. There has to be some really bad shiit going on to get me riled up.

I have also been fortunate to raise these 3 boys up into young men and I have learned much about much from them.
