I've also noticed women's moods change at any moment, just like at my job. One minute they'll have a smile on their face and the next is pissed off expression.

Yes, us women are so flighty and moody. And prone to such vapors, too. Must be that pesky monthly thing!

Although I have talked to some woman anime fans before, the older one becomes, the harder it is to find topic to talk about. Not to mention to look her in the face and not anywhere else ( I always try to be polite, but being a guy, this is bound to happen.)

Have you tried talking about something... other than anime? Maybe if you were actually listening to her speak, it'd be easier to focus on her face. Then you wouldn't just have to force yourself to be polite.

Maybe that's why they look pissed, dawg.

but why could he never say anything about my ... hand-eye coordination/juggling skill? I know I complained at him for this but he still didn't seem to learn...

Yeah, what's up with that? I was always so furious at my boyfriend because he didn't compliment me on my ability to speedily change the windshield wipers on my car! Or the fact that I could eat a whole Hot Pocket in 30 seconds!

I believe in a past Chick on Anime column, Bamboo (I think it was her) mentioned how if a handsome guy asks a girl out he is seen to be cool and confident, but if a "regular" guy tries to ask a girl out he'll come across as a creep. That's purely because of looks, and not to do with behaviour.

>__< I totally didn't say that. Neither did Casey nor Sara. We had said that there was a double standard. But we didn't use the term "regular" guy as the contrast. I think I had said something about how it's unfair that two guys could approach the same girl in the same way, but that the one who was more socially acceptable (by mainstream standards) was more likely to get an excited or flattered response.
