Why ya gotta be all bitchy like that?

When it comes to interaction among women who don’t know one another that well, there are two types of ladies: “friendly, outgoing, hey-how-ya-doin’” ladies and “I’ve met you 16 times but I’ll still pretend I have no fucking clue who you are and treat you like an absolute piece of shit” ladies. Am I right? And per my headline, I just need to know: why ya gotta be like that? Help a sister out.

Let’s take me as an example. I’m harmless. My dear friend Christian once dubbed me the “golden retriever of humans”. I just like making friends. Is that so wrong? I don’t want your boyfriend, your husband or your job. I might envy all those things but anything I get, I can get on my own, thank you very much. If you’d stop to talk to me for 5 seconds you’d find out I really am genuinely interested in you and if I’m staring at you it’s probably because I really like your shoes or something. If you’d return my gaze I’d probably tell you that. See, I’m a people person, goddamnit!

I’d dare say most women (60%?) are the same as me when it comes to chatting it up with other women. The other 20% (the ones who look at the floor when you pass them) are probably just shy and after a few stupid jokes at the copier or a fat glass of wine at happy hour you can break through. But it’s the other 20% that I can’t quite crack. Hmmm.
