When I think of female connection, I think of being with other women and hearing their stories, but not just any woman. Some women are dreadful storytellers, as are some men. And I don't just think of female connection requiring other women. I love how men relate to me. Dogs and children too.
I have had several dog owners say, "My dog really loves you. She only loves women, but she really loves you."
Dogs can suss us out with a sniff.
In Allie's blog, Davina mentioned her drag racing and Sarah B her lifesaving. Allie and I both asked for more info, which is what socially successful women do. Curiosity and connection are key to socially succeed.
Allie once observed that she knows all her stories and so would rather hear than tell. I'm the same way. I'm told all my stories. To tell them again bores me. So, I ask questions.
Of course, Allie's a journalist and I am too and if you're not curious, you should quit journalism and scan bar codes.
