Am I a Mental Bitch?

[Undertoad]

Also, I must add, there is a world of difference between the terms "crazy woman" and "crazy bitch".

From the standpoint of the man, almost all women have a good deal of crazy in 'em. Some have much more than others, though, and the types of crazy vary such that "crazy woman" is quite often a term of endearment.

Crazy woman might:
- have flighty little sayings painted on the walls of her bedroom
- insist on wearing sheer shawls about her shoulders at all times
- create "collages" well after high school
- grow her nails out and pretend she is a witch
- make weird statements out of nowhere that have nothing to do with the conversation
- be vegan

Crazy bitch might:
- throw a fifteen minute crying jag over the state of the bathroom sink
- not talk to the man for a day and a half because one of his co-workers happens to be a young skinny blond
- walk away in the full expectation that the man will "come rescue her" to show his love
- argue at the top of her lungs so that the man will do the same, thus somehow showing his concern for the relationship
- be bulimic

Oddly, many young men are attracted to the crazy bitch because that kind of craziness often indicates that she is a freak in the sack. It takes maturity to realize that the bitchiness is not worth it. This is similar to the young woman's attraction to the dangerous man. The dangerous man is the male version of the crazy bitch. (There is no male analogue to the crazy woman.)

Let's see:
The Sysadmin/geek might:
- have XKCD cartoons taped to the walls of his cube
- insist on wearing ratty black tee shirts with "witty" slogans
- create "shareware" well after college
- grow his hair out and pretend he is cool
- make weird statements out of nowhere that have nothing to do with the conversation (no modification)
- subsist solely on Mountain Dew, beer and pizza.

I believe we have a match.

I was thinking along the same lines, Pie. Thanks for coming up with the list.

It takes maturity and *experience*. Very few males will pass up being involved with the crazy bitch once they've bedded her. Its only after the crazed sex becomes the norm that men are able to step back and view the whole situation...before running screaming, in search of a less frenzied, but saner, fuck.

Bri - like some others here, I'm rather curious as to why you seem to feel the way you do. What has transpired of late that has you feeling "crazy"? I'm guessing that this is at least in part based on someone else's opinion of you, because people seldom stop, look at themselves, and come up with "I'm a crazy bitch". On the contrary - the crazier the bitch, the more likely they are to think themselves perfect and everyone else screwed in the head.

My ex wife comes to mind.

Ain't that the truth!
