Filters....

Ok, as I see it, there are some things women should only talk about with other women and men should only talk about with other men.   For example, I, as a woman, discuss issues such as shoe sales, nailpolish, and menstrual cramps only with other women (for the most part - aside from the fact that I just mentioned it here in this public blog).  

However, lately, most men I have met HAVE NOT used said filters.  I realize men discuss both bodily functions and their sexual interests at times, however, I think I can speak for a good amount of women when I say we don't want to hear about it!!  Know your audience!

Maybe it's just me.  Maybe it's a certain level of comfort that implies certain conversation can come into play - it can't.  We women are no less offended by this than you are offended by certain topics of discussion women bring up.  It's that old simple rule that you can't talk about everything with everyone - there's times you gotta filter things.  

All I know is that the next time I receive TMI from a guy, I'm going to begin discussing the pros and cons of various tampon brands.  And I, unfortunately, have a feeling that will be very soon.
