to assume that a man into vintage sports cars may be a bit of a tosser...

[ClockWatchingLady]

... but that a woman into the same is probably rather excellent?

Why on earth would you assume that?

You've just described a family member and his DW.

Both lovely. Neither a tosser.

Regardless of whether gonads internal or external.

No idea. Just realised that I did

What?

Have you been sniffing the markers pens this morning?

Extraordinary. I'm not sure I can even be bothered asking you to expand on such an absurd theory. Or is this some kind of joke that's gone whizzing over my head?

Or my mum and dad.

People find the strangest things to be judgemental about.

No joke and no theory I'm afraid, just noticed myself making this assumption about some people on the radio and thought it was a bit weird. Clearly it is

Keep digging that hole Op.

So it's clearly weird now.

Nice.

No I meant it was weird that I assumed that, Drank!

Why would having an interest in pre 1930s cars make someone a tosser?

Just wondered whether anyone else has this gender discrepancy in their (clearly unreasonable) automatic judgments. But I am all alone...

I think our whole family like vintage cars, but unfortunately don't have the time or money or space to own one.

By your reckoning OP that makes 25 % of us a tosser and the remainder excellent.

Weird indeed.

Yabu but now you have realised you judge on gender the question is what will you do to change it.

Well I'll do my utmost not to rage around slashing any vintage tyres, jack. But I can't promise anything.

OP I'm with you on this.

I tend to assume everyone is a bit of a tosser until they prove otherwise, saves time and avoids disappointment.

Ah, hello Bloody (you horrible sexist fiend).

Rinsey

YABU and sexist.

HTH

I think you're all being rather unfair given that I very carefully added the word "may" into my title...

Id say it was the other way round actually.

Interesting, zippey, tell me more...?

You added 'may' because you're a coward without the courage of your convictions, OP...

I love cars, all sorts, and I'm not a man. I also love handbags... perhaps that does make me a tosser? :(

You added 'may' because you're a coward without the courage of your convictions, OP...
You got me

... or an excellent litigator!
