I think I have the art form down
Tonight I'm babysitting (and way later than I was supposed to, I might add) and one of the girls that I'm not overly fond of, was over, and complaining virtually nonstop about this guy, and he's weird, and he won't leave her alone, and she's tried to give him hints, and he's just not getting it, and on and on and on and on, and he's playing games with her (which to be honest, after a while it became painfully obvious that yes, he was, and what's more, she was stupid enough apparently to fall for it)
Anyways, at one point she heaved a huge sigh & started on about how it was so hard to find what she wanted, in a man... so I piped up with....
"What do you want from a man, exactly? I mean you obviously don't want respect because this guy has been disrespectful to you all evening, and instead of doing something about it you're just playing right into his game."
She didn't really have a whole lot to say lol But then again her & I get along (ie we're civil to one another...like the above statement demonstrates) ever since she really pissed me off one night & I was drunk & so I let loose & ripped into her & we have the pecking order established. When push comes to shove, I'm the stronger Alpha, and push doesn't come to shove anymore, now that we've got that established.
After I had made that comment though, the 2 guys in the room just started guttin' themselves laughing, because they were as sick of listening to her bitch & whine, as I was.
