Chris, ED and all: To me is not a question about men or women but human beings. There are times I don't get on with certain type of men and there are times I find difficult to get on with certain type of women. There are very competitive men and there are very competitive women but there are also all those to whom value the most the quality contact they have with other human beings regardless they are men or women. In real life I also have some male friend to whom first encounter was a disaster and then after some disagrements and fights become very close friends. There is no difference here for as long as the person in front of us is of the same wave of thinking. Mayka --- On Wed, 10/11/10, ChrisAustinLane <ch...@austin-lane.net> wrote:

I am not an alpha female. More like a beta male. It is not true in my experience that strong women cannot be friends. It happens all the time in non-male dominated arenas.

So, at the risk of of being label "thorny", I say: Yes, you and Chris could be friends, though probably not when in the same kitchen, coffee klatch, or Yahoo group, as both of you are confident, strong-willed alpha-females.

I think that Mike might have been right and there is the possibility that if we both met and knew face to face we might become friends. Anyway, we're in the same group and find very silly not to interact with each other. You're wrong and I do like you. We both are impulsive ladies. I like from the posting you sent to Anthony your very good intentions of helping him. There was warm and compassion in your personal way of posting . I admire people who don't fear the consequences of speaking up their minds specially with taboo subjects as the one you spoke about. Interaction between Anthony and yourself was an interesting dharma. Can we make up and be friends? Mayka
