Have you ever seen (or heard) a woman dominate a room at a party just by sheer energy combined with focused humor, volume, and an ability to say something just shocking enough to turn every one's head? Well of course you have. Many women, especially after a glass of two of wine (but some without any alcoholic encouragement) just naturally dominate any "scene" they are part of. Their stories do it. Their viewpoint does it. Their humor does it.
Being the life of the party -- being the center of attention -- wanting to have people play off of their words, and with their words -- comes in perfect stride for many women. Women in their forties, who still have the pinch of youth in their attitude and manner, often use their "dominance" to control an entire get-together. That is "fun" for them; or maybe it is a necessity. It is sometimes difficult to say which.
Actually I admire this trait, this skill -- as I see it engaged by some gifted individuals. I realize that their are personal and/or psychological reasons for their zesty control. But whatever the reasons, it is still an interesting rite to observe. It makes me love women all the more.
