What are things you're not good at?

Have you considered the possibility that you speak normally, but are just not in the habit of sounding dainty and demure and pleasing for the sake of other people's sensibilities?

Possible but I'm betting she's already taken sexism into consideration. Most women have by the tween years. While I still don't sound pleasant per se, the reaction before transition was 2 fold. There's "smile!/(show happiness for others ease and comfort) and then there's.....damn, you sound unhappy/'rigid'/unpleasant. It's not the same thing.

I do not think quickly.
In conversations, I am not quick witted and fast with comebacks.
I like to think about what I am going to say, so it comes out right.
That's why I do fairly well here at JUB. I can think before I post...

Oh and another thing--I can't make an omelet to save my life.

Just like cave men died hungry without egg breakfast.

Sports in general, but, like others here, those that involve hitting balls. When I first came out I was concerned when the first lesbians I met told me that all lesbians played softball (and smoked). Perhaps it was for the best that I turned out to be bi instead.

I'm also bad at speaking with a pleasant tone. People often think I'm annoyed, or critical, or something negative even when I don't feel that way.

Perhaps you're a lipstick lesbian. If you're not good with a ball- that might be silly stereotype but perhaps more feminine lesbian do not get along too well with all types of balls, just like gay men.

Well the other men in my family are good at playing sports so i don't think it's in my blood. Then again I could be the odd ball in the group.

No dude.. we all have balls, you might haven't discovered yet

*** Seriously no judgement here, we're no better than others ^^

Public speaking. I get extremely nervous and can't keep my train of thought. You'd think I have a speech impediment too (I don't).

I got that alot, I understand..
but my speech are fine when I'm among trusted circle/among friends or in informal conversation. When it comes to talk with 'operator' (unseen formal person, hello) that when I get it worst..

really worst..like I almost stutter.

In top of the list? It'd be socializing

You don't need to be good at socializing when you have that ass-et duh

Singing. Trust me, I can clear a room. LOL

really? bad singing usually nailed me stiff (my attention).

Drawing, singing, lying, painting, cooking

Lying? Like you're bad at lying on bed?

I am shitty at hiding my contempt for idiocy. But I'm always willing to work through it so that they can become better people...

Me too, but I dont think they're idiot ..they just miserably wrong. I usually let them run amok but some particular issue ..like defending Islam, always bother me like WHAT the heck they're thinking!? that tickle me to join anti-crusade.

Ok, what gameboard is this? ^^

Each player, in turn, rolls both dice and then moves forward (clockwise around the board) the number of spaces indicated by the sum of the numbers rolled. Action is then taken depending on the space on which the player lands:

If the player lands on an unowned property, he or she may buy it for the price listed on that property's space. If he or she agrees to buy it, he or she pays the Bank the amount shown on the property space and receives the deed for that property. If he or she decides not to buy it, the property is auctioned, and the bidding may start at any price. The highest bidder wins the property and pays the Bank the amount bid and receives the property's title deed. Railroads and utilities are also properties.
If the player lands on an unmortgaged property owned by another player, he or she pays rent to that person, as specified on the property's deed. It is the property owner's responsibility to demand rent, and he or she has until the beginning of the second following player's turn to do so....

It's monopoly. Of course I know how to play but ..if I play that game for the first time. My first initial response after reading the rules would be like..

"wha..?"

I'm slow at following direction especially when that needs quick decision. No, it's not only because E.S.L, in my native language too. However, it's not something I make an excuse because not following procedure trait is quite dangerous in rl, I always try to better myself.

Firing a gun and actually hitting the target. I cannot for the life of my do this properly, even after taking a course twice.

Just like cave men died hungry without egg breakfast.

I can cook a turkey. I can bake a cake. I know how to make/bake cookies. But when it comes to eggs, I can fry them, I can scramble them, I can make soft/hard boiled. But I can't make an omelet to save my life.

I can hit anything with a rifle or shotgun (target shooting, pheasant hunting), but I don't do so well with handguns. I have a tendency to squeeze my hands, rather than just my trigger finger. That alters my aim down and to the left.

I've learned that the trick to omelets is folding, rolling, not flipping.

Hindsight is 20/20. If only I'd said ... butt that's usually after the moment is gone, Long gone!

I am terrible at shooting Golf. Heck, I've never even seen one.

If we're supposed to shoot them, why not use a 12 gauge shotgun, instead of trying to hit them with a dimpled ball propelled by a crooked stick? I just don't "get" it!

Then again, this was something dreamed up by the same folks that brought us bag pipes, haggis, and kilts!

Plus, given that Golf obviously care for, and manicure their lawns so beautifully, why are we trying to shoot them in the first place?

And, since so many of us spend so much time, and money, to be out to shoot them, they obsviously must not be all that afraid of us since their homes (holes) are not only decorated with flapping (usually red) flags, but they also have their house numbers boldly emblazoned on those pennants!

Maybe it's the idea of keeping your eyes on the ball, and not looking at where you're hoping it will go, until after you've driven the club face into the turf just short of where it is/was!

And, since we're limited to using clubs, what's with the ball part? If we're out to get them, why not just bash them over the head with the club once we've found one, if ever?

I can understand the electric golf carts so they won't hear us coming. So ... why not just coast up to their holes, and wait for them to pop out?

I mean, they know we're after them, and manage to make us take the time to try to hit our balls, well, not Our balls, but the Golf balls, which aren't theirs, either, down fairways, not into the rough, or sand traps, or water hazards, which are pretty weak defenses anyway, not like walls. They've gotten us to warn them of our approach! Maybe they really are smarter then us!

If you've not stumbled onto it yet, I'm not good at Golf!

censoring myself. I'm always saying inappropriate things to people because I have no internal filter and forget that some people aren't... like me.

a drama fueled harlot? yes we've noticed

I'm also a terrible liar.

no surprse

 

[jbrown329]

I'll have to 2nd the golf. Makes no sense to me. Wack a little ball to see how far it goes. Then you chase after the damn thing. Lather, rinse repeat.

 

[Willie Boy]

I'm not good at dealing with idiots.

 

[eddielee]

I can't do a damn thing with balls beyond throw them. Of course I mean basketball, baseball, and football. I can halfway play soccer, but I still suck. Oh, you don't want me flying your airplane.

Anything to do with sports. I avoid all contact. Thank goodness I'm good at sex in the bedroom!
