maybe it was the wording
being called a "promising young woman" hits different to someone saying "she'll go far"
When's the last time you've heard of a "promising old bat"?
I get what you're saying but either way it's a more personal comment regardless of what they describe you as after the promising part
What if a woman said it?
hmm yeah it would feel different, and actually the old bat thing is almost endearig honestly
maybe it was that guy specifically
Haha what a nice thread.
You are a promising new member of the forum!
yeah I think maybe it was that guy specifically and the implications of me being a young woman in regards to my promise because this doesn't annoy me at all
