Yeah, and strangely enough, I'm having a conversation with what seems to be a nice guy online and he just insulted my intelligence. Like got a total chip on his shoulder and insulted me, calling me "silly," because I don't know all the ins and outs of his field, and I'm being nice and asking him questions about what he does for a living.

I am pretty sure that if I tried to explain to him the ins and outs of what I do, he wouldn't be able to follow along. I am a badas$ business woman who is killing it as her own boss. I don't need some man talking down to me because we don't work in the same field and I'm trying to get to know him. WTF?

Yeah, moving on. I have no reason to settle or put up with bullshyte.
