I have learned that part of being a woman is to repeat your thoughts. It takes some people many times of being told until they get it. Is this why we have good memories or is it that our thoughts just get embedded from repeat performances? Listen up people, or are you just plain stupid?—Chelly

What does any of this have to do with being a woman?
Are you just rehashing that old myth that women remember everything and men are just forgetful idiots?
I don’t get it.
Fascinating.
when one makes a mistake, one usually learns from it and tries hard, not to make it again. but with his thing called love and emotions, you are bound by nature to keep fucking up. such was my case years ago, got away from one, found another, just as bad. then i finally saw the light and said fuck it. i will stay single from now on.
Well. Chelly with a C.
Maybe, if you said more and talked less, people would listen.
They say we remember only 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, and 30% of what is demonstrated, but we retain 90% of what we teach others. So by repeating what we hear, we are helping ourselves retain the information.
Why do I have a feeling that Op would be on here flipping her shit if “woman” was replaced with “man”.
What a pontificating, self-righteous cow you are – thanks for painting all females with the same broad brush, twat.
This was on C100’s “One minute inside a woman’s mind.” But lately it’s been silence.
Usually when people (and not just men) seem not to hear and ‘understand’ you, it is because they a. have a real hearing problem or b. are telling you a LOT. Not so much they are stupid, just that tuning someone out is often a way to say – “move on”.
“I have learned that part of being a woman is to repeat your thoughts.”
I call it nagging.
