Why do they love making such a big drama out of everything all the time?
What is it here about drama?

    I think girls do it, too, to be honest. drama, drama, drama.

    but you're just hanging around the wrong group, I think. there are plenty of guys (and gals) that are as annoyed at the drama as you. we just tend to be quieter and go unnoticed.

    Thank goodness for those level-headed Canadian guys, or this place would be a madhouse!

    Must be having bad luck with 'em. I'm very non-confrontational. I try to avoid drama as best as I can.

    I have no idea! I was never that way and I avoid people who seem to thrive on drama. It's too exhausting to be around them! I prefer to be straightforward and civil. And as someone said, it is definitely the gals as well as the guys! This is when I'm really glad I don't have teenaged children! I watch my friends' kids and wonder how in the world they deal with it!

    I'm not an American, Canadian or anything but the same happens here in our case. Its wrong to generalize the population as a whole. That is more on the individual's personality & not where he/she lives.

    My experience:

    -People who quickly tell you about how "drama free" they are usually end up being the biggest drama-queens. People who are actually drama free don't even say anything about it because it doesn't cross their mind.

    RED FLAGS THAT WOMEN SAY:

    -I don't normally do this!!! (right before flashing people or making out with another woman, etc) (basically, it means you do this all the time and this is your way of justifying it by saying you don't do it often)

    -I hate drama! (self explanatory....you love drama)

    -I don't get along with other women, only men! (other girls don't like you because you're either busy trying to steal their boyfriends/husbands or you have a *****y attitude)


    That's my experience. I could be wrong.....actually, I know I'm not wrong.

    I've met a few drama kings as well as queens in my life, nationality has nothing to do with it!

    There are plenty of lovely, calm guys out there it's just the dramatic ones stand out more.

    I'm a Brit and the men here don't do enough drama!

    EDIT: I know sometimes people get offended on here and in all fairness, I actually tend to like the British ethos of reservation!

    Well this isn't going to cause drama... :p

    But serously, I'm a Brit and I tend to find that some people on here just do not get sarcasm, and that starts a bit of drama. Maybe it's a British thing?

    Yeah, British humour falls flat so often... but I'd keep my dry sense of humour over in-your-face slapstick every time!
