rubbish. Men like to think they are more rational but the link between testosterone and cortisol simply produces different manifestations of emotion. In addition men are socialised to believe that displays of certain emotions are unmanly.

that women display emotion simply does not mean they are more emotional. But they may well be more capable of empathy. That may be partly hormonal and partly conditioning however

maybe the latter since you are complaining about tte behaviour of modern women. Maybe they are casting off Millenia of conditioning and the burden of childhood that tied them to certain social expectations, roles and behaviours. Maybe they are becoming tougher and more callous. Sort of like men have been And now that you are seeing these behaviours you don’t like them. Maybe therefore if you weren’t so determined to support men you could see it’s really male behaviour you don’t much like

as to what I presume sits alongside your contention about men - that you are rational and not prone to emotion - your behaviour suggests that you filter -heavily - according to the extent to which you have a predisposition to believe certain things. That’s normal and can result in someone believing they are rational. But it does not mean they are

do I need to explain the psychological aspect to you - or even what neuroscience has to say on the matter?

I am sure it’s hard to accept and possibly harder if you see yourself as polite and reasoned. But take a look at your unsubstantiated claims in this thread alone. You suffer from a lack of intellectual and possibly behavioural flexibility.

but putting aside that let me check whether i understand
you sound like a man of habit - maybe who doesn’t much like change unless it is a change you have sought, You see yourself as thoughtful a intelligent as well as rational. You may be sensitive at some level - finding criticism difficult and requiring a response. You were smart as a child and a bit different from others. What else have I missed?

I am smart as an adult thanks you very much and won more than my fair share of scholarships such as they are in Australia - not much but I won what was on offer. Did IQ tests as a child but they refused to tell me my score probably assuming I would get big headed. TOO LATE....

I can laugh at myself. A very much higher IQ than 98% of the population causes lots of problems. Some see it as a curse. You have the ability to see things that are not easily seen that virtually everyone else fails to see. My post above being such an example. I don't think anyone else has joined the dots in that respect. Maybe they have but kept it too themselves.

Despite my terrible attribute's woman on a par with Melanie have been my girlfriends ( brains and beauty ) so they see something they like and all this with no alcohol being required.
