Sebby, I feel defensive when I read your comments
about how demanding American women are, seeing as I am
one and stuff. I guess I wouldn't argue with a
statement that started like "a lot of..." but a
generalization that seems to imply "all" irks me. I
have one husband and three Other Significants, and
they've all said I'm fairly low-maintenance. Of
course, I recognize that the content of the previous
sentence already marks me as Not Typical. Still, I'd
appreciate it if you'd consider phrasing statements
from your experience as something like "All the
American women I've gotten involved with
romantically..." or something.
--Eva,
being oh so demanding
PS:
Alternatively, people can always take turns worshiping
each other. That's fun too.
