Today I came across another type of female ego. Yup. Another type.
This type is not exactly typical of only women, but men too have it in great amount. But women have it of a different type.
For example.
A friend of mine, lets call her ABC, posted something on a social networking site. What she wanted to convey was "MEN ARE POLYGAMOUS IN NATURE AND GENERALLY NOT HOOKED TO JUST ONE WOMAN". Well absolutely correct stuff except that this she wanted to say through an analogue. The following is the analogue she used.
"Men
are like Bluetooth: He is connected to you when you are nearby, but
searches for other devices when you are away...Women are like Wi-Fi: She
sees all available devices but connects to the strongest one..."
Well what she wanted to say was ok, but what she ended up saying was exactly the opposite of what she intended.
Let us take the first sentence.
Men
are like Bluetooth: He is connected to you when you are nearby, but
searches for other devices when you are away.
Well nothing wrong in that. She said absolutely correct stuff. The blunder lies in the second sentence.
Women are like Wi-Fi: She
sees all available devices but connects to the strongest one...
Oooops!!!! Comparing women to wifi is a great problem. She should have said WIFI adapter which connects to the strongest signal. But she ended up saying Wi-Fi. A wi-fi actually sends out SIGNALS in all directions and is available to all devices at the same time too. !!! That is a blunder. Coz that makes the sentence mean like "women send out signals to all and connects to the strongest one."
Also it means that women can engage and disengage with different devices. Also it means that she can connect to multiple devices at the same time unlike Bluetooth (read MEN).
Now I pointed it to it. But I made some mistakes.
1. I pointed it out on a social networking site. Big mistake. People will generally not take these things lightly and a that too a lady!!! no way.
2. I tried to make sense out of a nonsensical stuff. This was a big mistake. Never fight with a lady over something that makes sense to her, irrespective of its logical stability.
Now I have given up. Coz I now know it is difficult, nay Impossible, to see the technical error.
Nonethe less I am having fun understanding various types of egos at work.
NOTE: Me writing this is also a form of ego. I am frustrated of trying to make sense to her. So i thought making this public may massage my ego too. WoW never knew ego can be like this as well.
