Apparantely, loud women at a bar are such a turn off even for loud men. Not sure what to think.

i think arrogance may be a defence mechanism, due to ones slight lack of confidence perhaps...

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation. Arrogance is when you just dont care.

Arrogant people go out of their way to prove that they are always right, while turning a deaf ear to other's opinions. The "I'm always right, you're always wrong" type of mentality. Words that come to mind (when I think about arrogant people): Over-bearing Presumptuous Pretentious Ego-Maniacs

Words that come to mind (when I think about arrogant people): Over-bearing Presumptuous Pretentious Ego-Maniacs IIiiiii.... don't know. I often (not VERY often) admit I am wrong. At least 87% of those times when I think I am wrong. The remaining 13% when admitting does not follow to being truly wrong, I am in an insane state. But I do admit to being wrong. The forums had two of those by me three days ago or so. And YET I am arrogant. I am arrogant because my opinion formed by logic is closely followed by a love affair between me and my opinion, and it's hard not to defend ferociouslyone's own love. Even if the love is unrequited. So. Also, I am sure I am and come across to many (not so much on this site, but at least to a large majority here too), as overbearing, presumptious, and an ego-maniac. Pretentious... not so much, and that's an effect of the conversational style in my writing contrasted to the formal style, also found in my writing. Two weeks ago my pscyhiatrist gave me a new diagnosis, of narcissistic personality disorder. it relaxed me, for several reasons: 1. I had suspected some decades ago I had it, but a friend of mine talked me out of it. 2. It makes sense, and it does explain a lot of my inability ot form meaningful bonds with others. 3. It lifts the onus off me to exert effort to appear human. I have a disease which makes me speak and act arrogant and selfish and egotistic; you see, your honour, it wasn't me, it is my disease that constantly keeps on making me commit crimes against humanity (like telling jokes that I and I alone find funny, and laughing at them uproariously).

Apparantely, loud women at a bar are such a turn off even for loud men. Not sure what to think. Women can be loud for a number of other reasons. For instance, women off a crack high are loud, and when they go back to a crack high, they are loud. Women who come out of jail are loud. Schizophrenic women can be loud. People who are very angry can be loud. So much for the types of women in my usual and customary social circles. Young women can be loud. Women during childbirth can be loud. Women who find out I just spend our life savings on Honoloulou hoola-hoops and donated those to the Archbishop of Canterury, are loud. Women who find out they mixed up their hairspray with the toilet air freshener are loud. (My aunt did that in 1963.) My mother fried some fishfingers for me in apricot jam, by mistake, also in 1963, and I was very loud.
