Kathy and I had another run-in the other day--things did not go well. I keep getting the thousand yard stare from her, even while I'm responding to a chain of conversation she started. BTW, I've gotten the stare before, and I have pet theory: someone believes (incorrectly) all men are dummies.
I don't know what else to think. We have only met occasionally through a common friend, and are on the acquaintance level. So, I'm puzzled when I receive the stare, especially from a stranger. Also, Kathy thinks she is being transparent--a fallacy coming from the mistaken men-dummy belief.
My conclusion: I'm pissing in the wind to try to fix this, but it does give me some catharsis to write about it and then move on.
