Then again, so has every man.

And Rand is a big whiner throughout most of the book, Matt is more the metrosexual sissy type of guy.

Also, I don't really tug on my braids, but I do chew on them, especially when I am inside because I can't smoke.

Yeah, I might have met some women like that...but it still doesn't explain why almost every single female personality in his story is that way. its unrealistic and stereotypical. Its seems like the variations are either...angry, man-hating angry or bossy." And "at times" women might act like that, but under special
circumstances...not every single moment of the day. Jordan makes it seem like thats all they ever do.
