virgin entry

woweeeeeeee... first virgin post! lol

ok... let's see... let it be known that this is my first baby step into the blogging world. so if it sound pedantic or whiney, please excuse me.

Hmmmm... what shall I write? My first foray in blogging and I'm already stumped.

Ok.. here goes nothing... When people hit 30, it would usually mean that they would have reached a certain maturity level. However, I realised that while it may hold true for some people, it may not be for most. Most of the people that I know are within the range of late 20s and 30s. The most interesting thing that I have noted is how the women and "metromen" in their 30s are much more 'bitchier' than normal men.

As they absailed up higher on the academic or corporate ladder, they seem to be more fixated with fault finding their peers. They expect others to understand their pms, mood swings and their thoughts but they would hardly do that to their peers. When they are at fault, they expect you to forgive them. They expect you to understand. But have they ever really been that forgiving themselves?

While the women of "Sex and The City" tend to be supportive of each other, the ones I know have a greater tendency to malign their friends. Be it about some petty things such as man boobs, food, diet, cosmetics, the way someone talks, men other men dated, men other women dated and the list goes on. There's bound to be something or someone that they will fault find with. (I wouldn't be suprised if this blog of mine received comments such as improper use of punctuations and bad grammar).

It has become sort of a ritual that whenever a group of women or "metromen" meet, there's bound to be mudslinging on either one of their "friends" or some hapless fashionista by the road kerb. Is it them or is my usually high tolerance level on the decline? I think it's both.

As I get older, I realise that I am less tolerant of other's whims and fancies. And I thought by keeping quiet it would save me a lot of hassle of disagreements and such. But that itself is a double edge sword. I admit it was my fault. I ambled along life being an amiable person most of the time. I hardly raise a ruckus and usually numb myself whenever there is an argument. The people I know takes it for granted that I would tolerate their behaviours and not retaliate. However on the occasions when I do open up my mouth to speak up, I ended up being labelled "unreasonable, petty and bitchy". Just because all these while I just kept quiet.

Oh well... Life goes on...
