Jackson - my expert psychological profiling tells me you're a girl (except for 2).
Most men can't tell when someone is uncomfortable and know nothing about ornaments or romance or old events.
I'm good at:
Remembering where I was and what I was doing during any Arsenal match of the last 30 years.
Being tactless.
Spaghetti bolognese.
Being late.
Being snooty about "popular" films.
Writing top 5 lists.
Being snooty about "reality" TV.
Upsetting my children when I don't mean to.
Remembering obscure facts of no use.
My job.
Being indignant.
Off the cuff dry humour (AKA sarcastic jibes).
Loading the dishwasher.
Appealing, eh?

Translating from the original British into American, for example, the above translates as "Great taste in cookies"

Stating the obvious is also a great skill of mine.
It was the football thread that fooled me - most girls gravitate to winning teams.
