blunt deficient ------->|<------- tact deficient

have you ever noticed that southern men are blunt deficient?

bless their hearts...

i'm telling you, it's true. they can't handle a woman that's blunt. they don't know what to do with the truth being shoved in their faces without any warning or sugar coating or dancing around to make it easier to swallow.

their system becomes shocked and overloaded and they proceed to become thoroughly offended and tell the woman that she copped an attitude with them.

in the same way, blunt women are tact deficient.

they don't know how to use "when you say X it makes me feel like X" neutral kind of statements, or tell a short story to make a vague point about an issue. and unless you take the time to get to know them, you might be offended by the bluntness.

yes, dear friends, it's a dilemma.
