I talked to J extensively today about what triggers calling someone “kid,” as well as when I would describe someone as a girl versus a woman. In general, light-hearted girls seemed to get called kid. It’s a term of endearment for people I have fun being silly with. Most of the guys I hang out with aren’t that silly. They’re building something. Seriously. Or sometimes just drinking. Seriously. Actually, I don’t have time right now to spend another hour writing about something I just spent an hour talking about. I do want to jot something down though. While discussing this, we touched on the value systems on my friends and cohorts; they tend to be close to mine. However, there is a line across which there are my friends that I might describe as colleagues. These are the friends that create, perform, and do things I think are interesting and worthwhile. I don’t know that these intersect all that often.<\/p>\n

Therein lies the catch. When I tend to meet a girl I like, it is usually because I have made a slew of judgments about what is generally important to them, and find the results agreeable. Thereafter, what do they care<\/em> about? What are they excited<\/em> about? Are they going to try to convince me to go camping, hiking, or on a road trip? Even better, what of something where I’m truly along for the ride? So very rare to not get to be the ‘kid’.<\/p>\n

Also, women go to dinner parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
