Im I one of the few who finds Melbourne Australian women to be way too aggressive and sarcastic. I work with plenty of women, although I dont have any problems with them I find them too aggressive and unpleasantly sarcastic. The guys seem laid back and easy going. Im a gay bloke btw, and I really pity straight guys here. They seem to have it so tough.

I know im generalizing a bit, but so many women here are grumpy as hell.

Anyone else notice how unnecesarily unpleasant some women are here?

Oh and I dont hate women, Im a nurse and have spent all of my working life with them and some of my best friends have been female.

Yep!

yep it is a tongue in the cheek post, but man women here need to chill and take themselves alot less seriously.

I think there's a lot of aggression in a lot of Australian people full stop.

too true, hate how every other word has to be "*****" , people use it in normal everyday speech. Sure I swear but man here its an epedemic, guess its the convict stock.

I can only think of one with 5 letters, 'bloody', is that it? I don't consider that one to be a sweary asterix-worthy word, do you mean another word? Just curious

Oh. Bloody has 6 letters
So what is your word?!

Can't say I have noticed that.

I have always found British people far more sarcastic than Australian people. Infact it's a common complaint that Australians aren't sarcastic enough. Australians are too dry to be sarcastic they are very dead-pan.

I have this notion that people who tend to notice traits in the other sex are either on the edges looking in, or single and therefore very critical. All the blokes I know who are single have observations like this.

Curiously I don't think Australians swear more than British people - if anything it is the other way around! Again there have been observations about this too..!

Nope. Perhaps they are just being bitchy with you because you are 'one of the girls'?

My bleeped out word beggins with an F, ends with a K. BE.com must have put all the asterix in, I only put one in for the U.

As for being one of the girls, yeah theyre bitchy, but as bitchy as they are in the UK. Im talking about how blunt and aggressive they can be. Like when I over hear them at work, chewing up a doctor on the phone 'cos hes too busy to come down and chart something. Sometimes at work its like they are still 15yrs old and theyre in the play ground. have noticed this behaviour in shops too, also some male friends wives are a complete nightmare. They would make me gay (or chew my arm off) if I had to wake up with them.

English women and Kiwi women seem to have more class, humour and humanity.

Think it depends on whether the particular women is riff-raff to coin a phrase...
I've met some georgeous Melbournian women! Fortunately Mrs B doesn't have to worry as she is their equal.

At work being a b.... is sometimes the only way to get people to move off their a..... and get things done I can relate to that. The nasty one gets top of the heap the nice one, is oh she is a dear she will wait. Gets a bit tiresome.

LOL

That's right up there with "some of my best friends have been black" and "some of my best friends have been gay."

or "American"

yeah was thinking that myself but didnt want to be labelled as a woman hating fairy. I love women, have met some very cool ones.

Totally agree that many feel getting to the top means you have to be a bitch, while nice peeps are being left under the heap of excrement created from the alpha bitch.
