Men, their fragile egos, and childishness?

I find it so amusing about how some men can be so easily offended.

I accidentally clicked Confirmed on a guy who requested to be a friend, and I don’t usually confirm people unless I know them personally, or at least we have mutual friends whom I trust. Anyway, he suddenly started a chat conversation on FB, and I asked him who he was and honestly told him about my policy above.

The first thing he asked was how old I was because I “sounded childish”. I was rather taken aback – wouldn’t you? So I politely wrote back that I didn’t see how else I could have phrased the above in a non-childish manner and he somehow got offended, and said that if I knew him I wouldn’t have said that because he was a regional director with some company. He said we could stop chatting if I had a problem; but before I could even reply, he removed me as a friend.

Tempted to send him a message and asked “Who’s being childish now?” but honestly, that would have been just childish.
