One or two years ago, I heard that a lady(I call her "Ms.K") at my department is disliked by her friends among her department. My friend who is a man once asked another female how she think about Ms.K.
She replied "I‥,I don't dislike her. But, I think that Ms.K is the female that boasts her ability ."
In addition to it, the friend also asked one more female about the same question. The reply was so radical that I couldn't believe the reply. It was "I take it for granted that she is disliked."
According to a tall friend at my department, the problem is that Ms.K wants to be everybody's friend. It may cause distrust among females.
But, I can't still understand why her attitude is to be blamed. Rather than that, a man who puts on airs seems uncomfortable to me.
