Last month I took a computer class, we were 4 women and of course the 3 others sticked together and gossiped from the first hour on, but they had no cue about who I was and how I functioned, thus they waited till I'd talk to them, types were 4w3, 4w5 and 2w3, you can figure and our trainer was a 7w8! No surprise if I got along best with another trainer, a 6w7! I love to onserve these interactions. But guess what, after 2 weeks, as we started knowing each other better, stereotypes held less importance and our true nature started surfacing....
: I was out last night with some friends and there were two women in the group, who had never met before. But they spent the whole night hugging, arm-linked, etc... : This is very common and I bet it drives female Fives crazy that women are expected to have zero boundaries with each other, from the very start. : Any of that make sense? :
