A difference in texting.

[Guest kariann330]

So after some time I have noticed a big difference in texting. Usually if a friend say liked my tie one day, it was a simple "nice tie" and the convo was over. When talking to friends now tho it's became "hey I really like those jeans, where did you get them" which then leads to a 15min discussion about my jeans with a lot more exclamation marks too. All of this is funny to me since I'm living part time but wondering if anyone else has noticed this change.

Girl mode stuff is much more extensive than guy mode ever was. Not just in texting.

Agreed. Girls are social in ways guys just are not. Girls want more details, they like to embellish, they like to "chat," and they aren't usually in a hurry to get to the point like guys are. Guys often are like a laser - turn them on and they get straight to the point, no deviation. Girls meander, and the conversations go wherever they go.

Hey, just like this here reply post! Cool, I made my own point.

Me in guy mode: *makes a barely perceptible nod to signify that I recognize you and like you*

Me in not quite as guyish mode: *stops to talk*

it will only get "worse" when I transition

True blue we do. Over the fence, at the store, in line for something, there's always time to talk.

That is the coolest part of estrogen switching on the other half of my brain again. My girl thinking and everything that goes with it seems to come so naturally. It doesn't matter what gender I present, if I'm alone with female friends or new acquaintances, my female side comes completely out and this seems to be very disarming. If it becomes necessary or seems appropriate I tell people that I'm half female from birth. Which is the truth. They don't have problems believing that, because I am genuine. That is all just a lucky blessing for me. It doesn't decrease risks of haters so I still keep a watchful eye. Yes female is different and much more fun than male to me. Notice how directly I made my point, Giggle. Jody

I've been letting Brenda out more and more at work, and everywhere else, and I totally see it! I'm noticing and commenting on the earrings of a co-worker who has a different nice pair every day, the bright orange nail polish of the checkout girl at the grocery store ("I like the colour - you don't see that very often" met with crickets, as I'm presenting mid-40's male to a teenaged girl :-), looking for something to compliment with every woman that I meet, and noticing the women that wear the same 4 outfits to work all the time (since there's never anything to compliment...). All this for a "guy" who stayed totally in himself to make the smallest ripples possible on the way to and from home :-). Loving being me!

Hugs, Brenda
