Men and mid life

My sister Jalet and I were playing with a web site that can tell if you as a writer are male or female...just by looking at the words you use.

So i gave it a try, only i tried writing like Justin Writes to see if i could capture that war style of the writing man - child in my house. here is mine... acting like Justin... amazingly the web site said i was a man writing.


Boy without a Name

Once upon a journey through the Vietnam jungle, I met a boy without a name. Along with the 20 other guys in the platoon it didnt seem to matter what he called himself, we just called him "Sonny."

Sonny was alone in the war and not a year past the age of eight. D.J who held the position of Platoon Captain, didn’t care much for Sonny. He reguarded Sonny as an annoyance and a way to get us all killed.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

that was the Sample writing to try and match Justin’s writing

so below is my sister writing as herself and it said that yes indeed she was a feminie writer and you could tell by the floofy words... and this is the conversation that followed....

BY Jalet
When the morning light first broke the skyline, there was frost lying crunchy on the grass. It came to me in that crisp moment that nothing had changed for centuries and that nothing really was ever the same at all. I had cause for reflection this morning. I was officially forty-five years of age. Probably finished with over half of my life, and yet it seemed to me that perhaps for the first time I actually liked, and possibly even understood my life. Seemed sad that it would be nearning the end.

this is my response to why the writing was femine and not Masculine...

Oh... that is because a man thinks he understands his life at 18 when his whole life revolves around sex.... you mentioned the words "45" and "understanding" pretty much all in the same sentence... and well as you know... from 45 on... your feminine beautiful perspective on life is in check... this is where guys have thier midlife crisis and outwordly show us that they just figured out it wasnt ALL about the sex it was about the journey and it scares the crap outta them... and they do stupid things to try to prove that they werent wrong after all, hence fast cars and fast women... and the Divorce rate that is so high at this age bracket...It's an ego thing....

The fact that you used words that the writer understood simply to be penned by a woman were so great. it was not an ego thing it was a heart issue... i dont think it was really about calculating the femine and masculine adjetives... it was all about the NOUN (45) and the VERB(understanding) link.

i love your crunchy frosty life... and darling... your life is not half over,,, your are just beginning from the crossroads.
