I'm putting this in, because I find it important for people to understand.
Women who have worked hard to be who they are do not want to be patronized.
There are people in this world who either talk down to you, talk above you, or give you lip service just to get you to go away. I can honestly say that it is the most infuriating thing on the planet in my book, and one that definitely deserves the rage I give the person that gives it to me.
A man who is interested in a woman should never patronize her in any fashion. Vice versa for women. If you are patronizing to people then you have the mindset that what you do, what you say, who you are and anything else about you is better than someone else, or that you know more about the situation than another person. If you explain or teach what is going on, that is different.
But if you are doing it just to satiate someone else's situation, it is just infuriating.
I used to date someone that was like that, and when I asked him to teach me it rather than withhold the information because I wouldn't understand it, he continued to withhold the information.
Let's just say, he is no longer in my life.
Educated people work hard to be where they are in life, and to be belittled is so rude. I have worked for several years to be a person who wants to know what is going on and how can I remedy the situation in either the best fashion or the best fashion for my budget.
I don't speak down to people because I have been taught it is super rude. I teach the situation instead. I work day in and day out for a group of people who are tired of the situation they are in and they just want to be through with the process they have been put through. The last thing they want is someone to treat them like a child. I tell them that when they get to me, that it will be easiest part of the process, it's just a waiting game. They get a full set of instructions, with a check list and where to send their finished documents. They are in control of their situation and they don't get frustrated at me because either I withhold information or don't explain things properly. I give them the information they need.
Be conscious about what you are doing and how you are speaking to someone. Give them the information they need to make sure that they don't get frustrated with you. Be courteous and on the ball about what you do. Don't make them feel like they have to beat it out of you to get the right answer or be insulted because you can't explain it properly.
