Overall I find women especially modern women to be more selfish, entitled, poor communicators and combative over fickle issues then men. I also find them more difficult in the workplace.

This isn’t all of them but too many of them.

For example this evening I was giving away something for free on craiglist. A woman contacted me about the item via the CL ad. I told her I wasn’t going to be available until a certain time and to text my phone number directly (i don’t like using the app). She went on this long story trying to convince me to meet up earlier. Then she messaged me on the app (which I didn’t check) at the meetup time. I didn’t respond because I told her to text my phone directly earlier. She then sent a message on the app complaining about me wasting her time. But this is for something that is 100% free. She had a sense of entitlement about it.

Men don’t bitch that way when we are getting something for free. We don’t feel entitled to freebies and handouts the same way women are.

Anyway I glad I didn’t give her the item I was giving away. But I have been giving away a lot of stuff on CL for free lately and i notice women are always more demanding when i communicate with them.

The other day, I saw a news item about a new housing development being built nearby. I have no intention of moving, but I was curious about it, so I went to its website and looked around. The next day, I get an email asking me to make an appointment to see the model home. I ignored it.

A few weeks ago, my wife went shopping and used my credit cared (we share it, but it's in my name). A few days later, I start getting emails and text messages asking if I want to buy more of what she bought. I ignore those.

On my way to visit a friend a while back, I passed a shopping mall. I know Google tracks my cellphone, and sure enough, I started getting emails and texts from stores in the mall... that I didn't even stop at. I ignore them.

For years now, my I get coupons in the mail from my grocery store for items that I often buy, plus an occasional item I don't buy, just to get me to try it. I use the coupons for things that I want to buy, don't use the others.

This is all data mining at its finest, and just about every company does it today.
