Such a small, yet fundamental thought process difference that I think really illustrates the difference in how women look at themselves vs. how men look at themselves.

^^ That was a very interesting insight Sultana. And thank you also
Pip for your comments and contribution to this thread.
In fact, when out shopping recently, i think i said "i'm too short for these pants and the male that was out with us commented that "these jeans are too long for me" not "i'm too short for these jeans"
So your comment really hits home for me as being part of the thought process that some (or most) woman use to process their interactions with the world.
Do women internalize things and men externalize things?
And is that encouraged in our society/culture?
