She decided she would question and pick an argument with everything I said. I got so pent up I ended up blurting out when she was moaning that she was single, that she struck me as a woman who liked to break men, and she would never be happy. That actually made her go quiet and I thought she was going to cry. Strangely enough she opened up to me after that and started saying how she thought I was probably right, and that's why she was so lonely.
TBH I really couldnt have given a sh!t at that time, but the psychology is certainly interesting, of these psycho losers!

Another one to ruffle the bra-burning militants feathers is "Sssshh! Men are are talking here".

Life is too short to bother trying to converse with such people.

Anyway, when I left I went for a leak and made sure I wiped my knob off on her hair before leaving. God

should have threatened to slap her and then reminded her to get back in the kitchen...only to shout out "only joking!" and walked off

you should have told her that you were very sorry and didn't intend to be condescending. Then explained to her slowly that condescending means talking down to people.
Stood back and watch the fireworks
