This troper's best friend used to be a real bitch to men and usually NotGoodWithPeople, often seen as insensitive or confrontational. Or just, you know, a bitch. To her credit, the men she was bitchy to were mostly well-known Casanovas or similar types. And then she met her boyfriend... This troper doesn't remember having seen her smile so genuinely and being so considerate in a very long time.

Even though this troper could qualify as a male version of this trope, I once knew a woman who fit this to a T. She would always be mean to him by ridiculing him, arguing with him, calling him names, etc. As time passed, however, she became less hostile toward him and became good friends and dare I say, even fell in love with one another. Then one day, she took a turn for the worse...

This troper is in the process of defrosting a male version. He's starting to smile at me now.

This troper is defrosting right now.

There is a girl in this troper's class, who if you asked him what he though of her about 4 years ago, he would have told you she was an insufferable bitch. Flash forward to the present day, and he has the biggest goddamned crush on her and CannotSpitItOut. I'm not sure which of us got the CharacterDevelopment.

My boyfriend calls me his little defrosting ice queen. It makes me laugh (in a good way).

This troper is (trying) to defrost a female one. for the second]] third time.

Update! (same troper) It's working!

This troper somewhat defrosted towards her friends in the last few years, but not fully. In fact, sometimes it gets worse and she switches back to the frosty and mean personality.

This troper. For the first two semesters of this school year, she just sat through most of her classes and only talked in the classes that her best friend was in. She usually replied to things indifferently and didn't say anything to one of her teachers at all, even if he was trying to be nice or have fun. At the beginning of the third semester, this troper decided that she didn't want to be like that anymore. She was getting a new teacher for a new class and really wanted to improve upon herself. On the first day of the third semester, she gave herself a nickname, started joking with her new teacher, made a friend out of a former enemy/acquaintance, and improved existing friendships. She is still in the process, but has made great progress. She hopes that by next year, she is completely defrosted.

This male troper was a walking glacier in his younger days: SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids, RealMenHateAffection, StrawFeminist, ParalyzingFearOfSexuality, AllWomenArePrudes, all UpToEleven. Sixteen years later, still married to the girl who defrosted me after my father died.

Whoots!

This troper has too often seen the opposite, but they have seen it succeed once. I attempted to get familiar with one acquaintance, who tended to be fairly popular around their classes, but it was difficult. At first, they considered me annoying and ignored me. After during one swim practice though, they began suffering from one of their periodic stomach clenchups(they regularly suffered from internal problems), and being the closest, I was stayed by her side and comforted her while the counselors came over to help them. She remembered that the next day and came over to talk to me, but after a week, forgot about it. The next year, I had a class with her, and tried talking to her regularly, but several months passed and I didn't make any progress. However, I had picked up on rumors about her difficult family situation, and decided to make her a card and hope she liked it. The card I spent several days on, however, ended up being given to another friend, who had just entered the room crying and I ended up scratching out the name and giving it to her(she thought it was nice, then forgot about it.) I made another card on the fly in class later, and ended giving that one to the acquaintance, but she suddenly became extremely happy by it! After that she got along much better with me. She still ignores in person but if I speak to her on the Internet then she seems much happier to talk to me. So it's worked out in some way.
