What To Do About WOMEN AND DRAMA

*Support for this article was given by Terry Barga. Moral support and some added wisdom. No breast support or foot arch support was given.

Why is it that women have so much drama? Drama, drama, cry, cry, cry and more drama. And by drama I mean an emotional stress about relationships and events, as well as crying.

It is always unexpected too… like a sudden thunderstorm that lands over you and suddenly you are in a torrential downpour. Then again, we here at WTDA know that women are like the weather. Can I get an Amen… amen!

There are definitely some classic women drama issues too. Issues like: “She isn’t talking me”, “She just gave me the dirtiest look”, “How could he like her?”, or my personal favorite “She’s just trying to get attention”. Men don’t say these type of things. Correction: Men don’t typically say these type of things, and if we did we wouldn’t get a girl, something to think about ladies.

Yes, yes, I realize the differences that make women worth celebrating in their emotional ability to connect. I am just sayin…. just saying… it’s a lot of drama.

As Terry has well documented in What To Do About CRYING WOMEN… we often hear things like “I don’t know why I’m crying… it just cleans me out”, yeah but so will a good salsa.

Most of these things are really petty. Really really petty. But alas, we are messed up petty people aren’t we? We have to hold on to our feelings so that we can be upset or angry or um.. petty. I think I am using that word too much. Do you think it means what I think it means?

Where was I? Oh yeah, petty…

Of course both guys and girls deal with these things so I am getting off track a bit. Back to drama… and stop sidetracking me. I think just because women read into things more and are observant in different ways than men, that they notice and internalize looks and body language and statements in ways that men just gloss over… with good reason mind you, if we all got caught up in this type of thinking (drama) we would all go crazy and I think someone would die.

So what should we do? Well… take some crazy pills cause then things might seem normal. “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!”

Secondly, men, be aware of the drama. Tell those ladies to save that drama for their mama.

Thirdly, women, limit the gossip, fakeness, and backbiting whilst striving for truth, sincerity, and love (easy right?… and I said ‘whilst’ did you see that?)

Fourthly, men, love women anyway. Because it beats starving and cleaning the house on your own.

Fifthly, everyone.. can I say ‘fifthly’ or should I just say ‘fifth’?

Sixthly, most of negative drama (with men and women) stems from pride, insecurity, worry, fear, doubt, etc. All these things that could be dealt with, sometimes with a hammer and blows to the head, but dealt with nonetheless.

Seventhly, now I definitely know you shouldn’t say ’seventhly’ I think it sounds so cool I had to. Seventhly, women, when confronted with situations, step back… don’t step up… step back… and slap yourself in the face! “…in lowliness of mind let each consider others better than himself.”

In closing, I would just like to say to all the women in our life, we love you. What To Do About.com loves you and are glad that you are women and not men. Boy are we glad!

Now go and quit crying all over the place.

  • There was a little breast support but it was only me holding my own breasts. Sometimes I have to roll play to get into the writing of a great article.

    Eighthly, I don't like this article. I think it's dumb and if that makes me dramatic or petty well then so be it.
  • And we have a winner!
  • Shelbyville
    You wanna fight???
  • I'd like to fight.
  • aha... you can't even tackle
  • Shelbyville
    I could take you. Especially if you keep writing these antagonistic articles. It's so silly that you men seem to think that you don't have any drama, when realistically, all of the drama seems to surround you.
  • That's because all the women surround us.
  • a very excellent point Terry
  • Shelbyville
    nonsense, it's all nonsense
  • it's all nonsensical!

    just wanted to say that. :)
  • Shelbyville
    Nate, you might be the least dramatic man I know. I appreciate that.
  • ha ha ha... haha... ahahahahahaah
  • Yeah, it's never really been my thing.
  • Shelbyville
    Better then the rest of these silly drama queens.
  • Being of the female gender, I will admit that you are right! BUT you think you have us pegged, I am sure it would take more than 1 article to peg you men; especially how you would die if not for our cooking and/or cleaning abilities.
  • Oh there is no pegging going on.. is there? and if so how come I was not aware of it? Were you aware of this? How come I didn't get a gun?
  • Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

    Okay. I get your point, and have noticed that you understand we read into things more + differently, and these are important points.

    Do you think we like being built with these hormones that make us crazy? At times, I HATE IT! And I have definitely seen my craziness in relationships and how I deal with things, but sometimes I just step back and stop thinking too far into things. Because I know at the end of the day, men are not going at all an inch close to details of any situation.

    Side note, a little drama and a little crazy keeps things interesting.

    And you stirring this metaphorical pot IS creating drama!
  • "a little crazy keeps things interesting" - now I can agree with you there!... depending on your definition of crazy of course ; )
  • spoola
    yeah it sucks being a woman sometimes.
  • ha

    hmmm. I'm not sure your hanging out with the right girls... not all women are blubbering, Petty, backstabbers... I would agree we are much more emotional, but there are proper ways for adults to act, women and men. With maturity, women and men can control their emotions and reactions. Those who don't control these things, choose not to, it's their choice. Emotions should be celebrated b/c it allows us to love and to 'feel' things. It separates us from any other living being. It is also up to each individual to take responsibility for their actions despite what their emotions tell them. So yes, there will be sin in the form of emotional overreaction which presents itself as backstabbing, gossip, or fakeness but that relates to the individual, not the gender. :)
  • agreed
  • Indeed!

    "then a hush fell over the crowd...."

    I recognize that the original article was intended to be humorous. And that my response was very straight forward. And i also see the very short responses to my ramblings, so I hope I didn't bring the "mood" down or ruin a funny wtda joke...
  • No, No.. You brought truth and insight to a touchy subject and that is far better than laughter.

    You keep up the good comments and leave the jokes to us.
  • yeah, bringing down the mood... way to go lereso ;)

    I would just like to say sometimes women have to cry to get their husbands attention. I’m just saying men don’t listen unless you start crying. I think it’s a visual cue to let men know that they should start listening to what we are saying because its important
  • That's it! We have been duped, you women have figured out how to get our attention. You know another thing that works even better? Talking to us in the nude! I mean if we are exchanging industry secrets you ladies should know that whenever we are too wrapped up in anything a "good show" will change that.
  • what was that?
