Heyyyyyyy now you wait a goshdurn minute.

Oh, OK...I admit it.

And I've told people all my life: if you're not a little crazy, you're boring as hell.

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.)

I love this. We all know one of her, don't we?

As crazy as I am...no no no...those kind of women give the rest of us a bad name.

Bri, I was where you are at many times. One time in particular was when I was working in a commission sales position in a department store. I sold mens suits and since I was supporting myself, I worked really hard at it. I was never mean or bitchy to the other sales people, I just never let up on my right to sell suits at all times, and as a result I was considered 'bitchy'. It was a constant struggle for me to keep my head high and not negatively mindfuck myself.

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.

skysidhe · 01-09-2009, 11:57 AM

oh no, no no no.

Any person especially a women with a set standard of how a man ( men) should treat her and then have that man come off as an imbalanced immature imbelcile would get whacked out. ( that is a double adjective btw)

So it might not be a guy so I am just guessing.

Undertoad · 01-09-2009, 12:11 PM

Heh heh, Pie, that is a win for you.

Trilby · 01-09-2009, 12:26 PM

I'm not the bulimic kind of crazy. I do not cry at the condition of the sink, etc. I am feeling bad because I behaved badly from sunday to thursday and I was rude to some complete strangers (not verbally rude, but, you know, gave them the rude VIBE) because they didn't meet my expectations and I was paying them for a service they didn't perform to my liking or expectation. Having expectations for an alcoholic is a set up for a resentment which makes you nuts and maybe not be sober (or, this is what they tell me). I hate that I don't work my ass off at being sober and then I'm all surprised when the little fookin demon bites my ass.

Yeah, I'm an attention whore at times. I'm not marichiko though. Thanks for that, UT. Some days I am filled with self-loathing. This is one of them.

I DO appreciate everyone's input. Thank you for caring enough to even reply to what must seem like a borderline move.

Thank you!

Of course, I was largely describing myself as the sysadmin/geek type.

Cicero · 01-09-2009, 01:43 PM

From what I have read, I like Marichiko too. I think she was highly skilled with writing, and getting her points across. Valued or not.

Bri yes you can be a bitch, but who can't? I've seen men become little bitches, and it happens to everyone. Sometimes you have to be a monster, it's ok.

There are people that are bitches all the time. You are not one of them. It's a temporary condition at times, let yourself have that.

Flint · 01-09-2009, 01:50 PM

I like you, Bri. You're one of my favorite people here.

Now, let's forget I ever posted this, and I can resume being extra-dickish to you.

btw
There is a fine balance to that "freak in the sack" crazy vs "impossible to live with" crazy.
This is the razor's edge that man must walk, in order to get his freak on twenty fo seven.

glatt · 01-09-2009, 02:45 PM

I like you too Bri.

Brianna, I served with Bitch. I knew Bitch. Bitch was a friend of mine. Brianna, you're no Bitch.
