In Support of Strong Puppy

[Corri]

I was talking in terms of honoring contracts because that's the language Mojo used, but I'm using it the way you use "honor", if I'm understanding you correctly. I'm talking about keeping your word; doing what you say you're going to do.

Okay. I don't know if it makes her grumpy... though I suppose keeping your word and doing what you say you are going to do when you really don't feel like it might make anyone grumpy.

I was talking in terms of honoring contracts because that's the language Mojo used, but I'm using it the way you use "honor", if I'm understanding you correctly. I'm talking about keeping your word; doing what you say you're going to do. If a guy tells me he's going to do something, I'm confident he'll do it. If a single woman who's interested in me (doesn't have to be romantic interest) tells me she's going to do something, I'm confident she'll do it. If a married woman tells me she's going to do something, I'm fairly confident she'll do it. If a single woman tells me she's going to do something...it's a crapshoot. Near as I can tell, the fact that she told me she'd do it has no bearing on whether or not it actually gets done. If she feels like doing it when the time rolls around, she'll do it, otherwise, forget it.

I'd say in a general sense, I probably agree with this. There are always exceptions to the rule, of course...

"Really?" and you could tell he thought I'd been harsh but his wife jumped in and said, "Yes, that's what you have to do or she'll walk all over you."

And her sense of loyalty is threatened if she can walk all over you. Maybe that is consistent with your experience of single women... there is no level of care or loyalty...
