Actually, you can see how much rep one of your posts has gotten by clicking on the scales. As you can't rep yourself, it will show you the reps and comments that post has gotten, and tell you if the rep on that post is "somewhat positive," "positive," "extremely positive," etc.
Ha, I wasn't aware of this gadget. So far it's only positive, but I have faith it'll become extremely positive one of these days! Too many women identify with it. Who knows… there may be some honest babies with penises out there, too…
Indecision...
Make a decision, stick to it, suggest something sometimes.

OK. Women of the world, we've just stumbled upon an exception to this rule!
Do you know how many reps this simple post got...?! You do the Math.
It's actually been the cause of several girlfriend arguments over the years. I don't like letting people know when I don't feel good, and they thought I should run to the ER every time I stubbed a toe.
Either way, I need all of the redemptive suffering I can get.
'Cause you're not a whining baby when sick, right?!
I just found this...
Quote:
Study confirms: Men really are babies when sick:
Fifty percent of men admitted to upgrading a common cold to the flu and describing headaches as migraines to get maximum sympathy, according to recent research commissioned by Engage Mutual, a mutual fund company in England.
...
Women report that 57 percent of men seek attention and sympathy when ill and 66 percent of men constantly moan and groan (i.e. we are SO onto you, guys.) But, it would seem these men are quite brilliant. They know what they’re doing. Their whining clearly works.
Yes, we women are to blame. We’re the enablers.
Even though 34 percent of women say they rarely believe their partners when they say they’re sick, 62 percent can be relied upon to provide sympathy and 49 percent will do their best to make them comfortable.
Two-thirds of women say they will regularly run to the drug store for their “sick” man, 46 percent will make draw them a bath and 27 percent will give them breakfast in bed.
You read my mind. Before even opening the thread I had the same answer you did.
I cannot deal with anxiety. I am a very laid back person, I have chaos around me and somehow still manage to remain calm. I can't be with someone who panics or has high anxiety... I simply can't relate to it and my non-reaction to their anxiety seems to make their anxiety worse which makes my confusion and annoyance worse

It's kind of funny that you could possibly get one of the various "positive" ratings when people are actually "repping" you with nasty comments. You could have an angry mob waving their fists and calling you a b***h-on-wheels, and the repping system will be cheerily proclaiming, "Extremely positive!"

Any way, speaking of my funny husband. I come home from work and he tells me he has bad news. Our expensive vacuum cleaner isn't working. His mom bought it for us as a house warming present 2 years ago. Yes, we've beat the hell out of it, but for $250 I expect more than 2 years. He lets me know that he fixed our old vacuum. That $60 piece of junk didn't vacuum well and the handle always comes off. He warns me that he used tape and a magic marker to fix it. Ahh, here it is.
I'm not quite sure what purpose the magic marker serves, but it's apparently necessary. He has me crying in laughter right now.
In the mean time, I found this site and will attempt to fix our other vacuum.
What you described is not a personality trait. That's just a man.
I LMAO on this. Very funny.
