How women ruin romance by talking too much: My NEW PJMedia piece

July 11, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

My thoughts on Sarah Bridge’s “controversial” Daily Mail piece, “Are Women Like Me Too Critical To Attract a Man?”

I write:

Now, should you read the original piece online, which includes two photos of the writer, you may have other ideas about why Bridge remains unattached.

However, even I felt my inner Jezebel rousing herself from hibernation while reading this article.

My personality type is rare, especially among women.

We are “freaks of nature.”

(…)

No one asks to play Trivial Pursuit with me twice. I made one opponent cry.

My therapist back in the 1990s, all too aware of my temperament, once asked me a very ‘90s question:

“Would you rather be happy, or would you rather be right?”

I didn’t hesitate: “Being right makes me happy.”

I’ve mellowed a bit with age since then.

Have fun in the comments!
