I don't get the American guys

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

Hehe, irony for $100, Alex.

HA!

I so agree! There are some big cultural differences apparent here.

Being American, this is a tad offensive. I would say liking or not liking drama is more of a personality trait, whether or not the nature of their responses are due to cultural differences on interpretation. Everyone that I'm friends with has nothing to do with drama themselves (especially the guys). It's childish and not worth the time. I would advise you to meet more Americans.

Also, I wouldn't stereotype culture based on internet message boards. I'm quite serious, too. Seeing how quickly any post blows up into some stupid big deal, I would say that people who post regularly on message boards and continue to participate in the "conversation" once it's gone way past relevant will tend to be more into drama than those who never post, or who leave the conversation at a certain point.

Edit: I also agree with the point that it's hard to interpret text only, when sarcasm and irony are often based on body language or voice/sound fluctuations or tone.

RangerSteve hit the nail on the head.

Whenever you see someone start a thread complaining about all the drama they find it's because they just finished CAUSING a bunch of drama and now they need to continue it in a public thread.

Don't blame American men. It's probably just you.

^^^^^^^This!

hahaha I agree.
Why does it have to be about where someone lives there are *kitten* hats all over the world!

exactly.

Perhaps the men in your life are reacting, as any self-respecting man would, to your offensive verbal attacks?

If you think American men are drama queens, you clearly haven't met many American women - we have drama down to an art form.

Men are usually only dramatic babies when they are sick - women, well, we use any excuse we can get (and I include myself in that).

I can't speak for anyone that's not American, but I am guessing this is a universal and not a national thing.


Perfectly said. When I'm sick i want to be left alone right up until the point when I need something - which is about every 20 minutes.

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.

1. True
2. I can't remember ever saying that because I'm usually the one starting trouble and then sneaking out the back down as the place burns down in flames
3. I really DON'T get along with other females, only males. Why? Cause I was teased a lot in middle school and high school by females. I never really had friends and the only ones that hung out with me were those trying to dig up dirt to use later. I hang out with guys because they talk about things I like. Mudding, paint ball, video games, travel, camping...Most chicks would rather get their nails done and MAN-HATE. Pfff that *kitten*'s for the birds.

So yeah, you ARE wrong about me :laugh:
