Aqua,

I also side with the male point of view more often than not, and share the same 
"talent" of being blunt.  Yes, a lot of men cannot handle this personality trait. 
Once again, society has been successful in stereotyping, just as I was by saying 
men are more realistic.  Many men are not ready to accept a woman being
so direct.  Many find it wonderful, but there are still those who aren't ready.  
I give you points there, and I should have devoted a little more thought before 
engaging my digits on the keyboard.   
Many women do confuse bluntness with bitchiness, and I am in no way implying
that you are one of them.  These are two totally different sides of the coin.  
Bluntness is saying EXACTLY what you are thinking; and not being pushy, 
or overbearing in delivery.  Just simply not being afraid to tell the REAL truth 
about what's on your mind...
