i guess this is sort of a hard question to answer, because you dotn know my sence of humor, but iv just never met a girl that iv found funny, i mean genuinely funny to me, i mean some of the things they do are funny. My male friends find me hilarious but iv never met a girl thats found me funny, has anyone else experienced this?
and if some girls could just explain maybe what they find humorous maybe i could understand it more.

There is always one in the crowd that says:

"I've been there, done that" (Blah Blah Blah)

This person also seems to have a compulsive disorder in telling lies. No matter what the topic/issue, this person has done it all before...(& better).

The sad thing is, everyone that he knows, knows he lies & thinks he is a bit of a "....", but they do nothing (just laugh behind his back).

I have approached him before regarding this - but he ends up believing his own lies (such as "when I was at... or When I use to do this..."). All are a figment of his imagination. Everybody knows he was not there or doing that.

I finally ended up just being polite & humouring him, allowing him to go on & speak his "...", but this is now gradually causing alot of frustration, especially when different circles of friends & colleagues are brought together.

I realise this person might feel he needs to 'fit' in, but he would if he would just be himself.

Any thoughts?

Why is it that in any sitcom you see on tv that shows a family, the idea of a woman having complete control over the house is fine? That they can even show how she wants to do something the husband really doesn't want to do and she can do something or give some kind of threatening look and brow beat him into doing it? Or talk about hitting him or smacking him or actually show it on screen? And not only is this accepted behavior on the show, but gets big laughs?

Now imagine a show that did all of these same things, but had a man doing it to his wife? Just how quickly would that show get cancelled? Why are these things treated as if they're acceptable behavior for women but forbidden for men?

Keep in mind, I'm not condoning the behavior for men. I think it's wrong for anyone to do these things, man or woman, but if it's going to be shown on tv, how about a little consistency instead of this double standard?

I really let things get to me, i wish i could stop and just brush things off but the more i try i keeping thinking of whats got the best of me. for instance at work today...i am a supervisor of a area in a retail store, i supervise people older than me, and i guess thats what makes them think they have to make me feel low because i am younger and they probably feel they are old enough to be my mother. how do i put people in place without being disespectful and if that doesnt work how do i brush it off and let work stay at work and when i come home have a peace of mind?
