Some people call that psychosis.
Let us delve further:

Thanks but I doubt your qualifications. Not to mention a few lines of text in the 'net is in no way tantamount to several deep discussions on a couch, with you diligently taking notes. Actually, I just like to expand my mind from time to time... explore new points of view. I've achieved modest success from exploring new concepts, and have no intention of stopping any time soon, just so I can perceived as 'typical'. Because I'm anything but... I like to think of myself as - unrestricted. Pyschosis is losing touch w/ reality. I'm merely probing deep into new lines of thought with the intent of gaining more visibility on reality itself. I'm also baffling you w/ BS - since that's all you deserve at this juncture.
What you're referring to is called the "congruence test." The reason that a woman tries to put down a man is to see if he is man enough to put her in her place, and lead her rather than the other way around. In a roundabout way, it is an invitation.
You're right in that this behavior has been going on since the beginning of human civilization. The only difference today is that women today have far more passes on their behavior than they did in the past, and can get away with far more outrageous comment and behavior which men will let slide because they're too timid.
Wow, a reasonable response. I don't even know what to say. See, this is exactly the type of engaging discussion I was hoping for. As for the 'test', let's forget about the woman herself, and try to figure out why nature -presumably- would place such a mechanism in her instinct in the first place. Anyway, I'll have to think about this, but as far as modern times - perhaps it is the case that this technique continues to operate in a totally unbalanced environment, vs. the past. Thus, it spins out of control and becomes destabilizing. Of course we're talking about courtship, pairbonding - that kind of stuff. But inevitably it's spilling over into other areas. Anyway, I think both the causes & effects are due to a myriad of disruptions in the environment compared to the stability evolution had wrought throughout the centuries before things became so complex.
Life can probably adapt. Wouldn't surprise me. But it's still risky - CHEMICALLY speaking (as in, bio-), to proceed on this course. Granted it's happening in extreme slow motion compared to what the average person's attention observes, but there is a distinct trend to be sure. And I find it concerning.
you didn't answer my question!!!
I see your question as completely irrelevant, unless you can submit/prove otherwise. What was it again, about my employer? Let's just say; I don't work - I just think. True enough, in reality.
Women are smarter than you.
If it is indeed the case, this would be the first time a man has ever stated as such. Otherwise, countless.
It's not deep and profound to try to be all coldly logical. It just makes you a pretentious prick. =/
I think women get a kick out of belittling you. I know I do. =O
Precious. Precious that you can't realize that belittling must be consensual. Anyway I find this all to be... pretty cute. What I am above all, is an analyst. It's in my blood. I observe in detail, and intuitively see how it all works. Here I've just been saying, that there is something concering afoot. But, it's no sweat off me... so, if we can't talk about it, fine. How many times has a woman told me, "I can't talk about this right now"...?
Silly. And precious - all at the same time. We really should have volunteered more than a mere rib, though. Then again the blind can't very well lead the blind, can they?
