Whiny Traits

So it's a regular day. Tubes messed up. Delays. Picadilly line over crowded because some other line has issues. I'm sitting on the tube - ya I got lucky, got a seat - and, I got luckier, I got one of the free Metro papers as well. I don't want to mess up my book, so I don't get it out, and instead continue to read the paper - when I come across an article that totally cracked me up. Today's Metro, page 21..

"Wimp Chimp: Wild chimpanzees scream like girls when chased or hit by rivals. They also exaggerate the severity of the attack if an ape of equal or senior status to the attacker is nearby. Chimpanzees raised the pitch of their calls for help and made them in longer, slower bouts when faced with serious threats, scientists found...."

Man, that is something. Screaming like girls. Lol. Raising their pitch to that high pitched squeaky sound. Damn. Some women, the wanna be kinds make such terrifyingly squeaky sounds it's unbelievable. Some chimps look at other chimps making squeaky sounds so as to say, WTF.. But.. when its upon them, their squeaks are louder than ever. I know at least a dozen women who do that. Some want to be adored, by similar squeaky species - I am guessing, so they do it much more often and much louder.

But what amazed me was that they exaggerated the severity of the attack. Now that is something. Tell me one woman who you know who won't do that!?!! Some exaggerate a little bit, which is, I guess, understandable - But, some, God Oh God, they will exaggerate like there is no end to the world!

I'd like to think of it as women act like Chimps, rather than say Chimps act like women. And, like we see chimps we make our own judgments / comments and make fun of them, same way there is always someone making their own judgment / comment / making fun of those acting like chimps.

I have no problem with women acting like chimps, in the sense of them making high pitched squeaky sounds every now and then they see a dog or a baby or some fancy shoe.. or anything for that matter.. What normally bothers me about the women in and around my life is that at times I feel that their squeaky pitches are not a part of habit or innate behavior, but that they are in conjunction of another chimp trait - exaggeration. I believe that a lot of women over exaggerate their feelings or at least want to show that they care much more about the thing or situation than they actually do - And I think all of that is due to, what I feel is a part of every woman - a need to get attention. Some more than others - but from what I have seen, it seems they can't do without it!
