I know what you mean. Boy, do I know what you mean. I get the same responses from women. And you know what I’ve come to realize? It’s pure jealousy. My mother used to tell me this all the time, but I had a hard time comprehending it because I felt like, why should they be jealous of me? Two women who are now very close friends of mine told me that when they first encountered me they felt I was a bitch and arrogant. I have no idea why I come across this way, because I’m one of the most caring, sincere, down-to-earth people you’d want to meet. I’m also very outspoken, real and educated, and it’s hard for some women to accept that. As much as the semi-feminist in me wants to say men have MORE trouble accepting that, I think most men appreciate a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to say so. Most of my friends are male, and it’s been that way since junior high school. There’s a kinship there that I haven’t found in my friendships with women. This jealousy does happen with men, but not in the same sense. Men are openly competitive, e.g. cars, wealth and women.

The only thing I can tell you is that it’s jealousy for personal reasons of their own. Don’t stress anymore – I’m sure it’s not you.
