"An inherent tension exists between the conventionally masculine value on agonism and the conventionally feminine value on social harmony.
Males are more likely to talk longer assert opinions strongly as "facts," use crude language (including insults and profanity), and in general, manifest an adversarial orientation toward their interlocutors.
In contrast, females tend to talk not as long, and are more likely to qualify and justify their assertions, apologize, express support of others, and in general, manifest an "aligned" orientation toward their interlocutors.
Males sometimes adopt an adversarial style even in cooperative exchanges, and females often appear to be aligned even when they disagree with one another, suggesting that these behaviors a An inherent tension exists bre conventionalized, rather than inherent character traits based on biological sex."
This is from a book on sociolinguistics. What do you think. If you talk in a less 'aggressive' style, say like a psychotherapist, will women like you more, or will they dismiss you as a potential mate or sex partner, because you are more like her girlfriends and not like a 'real man'?

Women like a bad boy at times don't they? Also women bicker far more between them than men do. In my life that is. I'm not sure where i stand on the whole 'evil Y chromosome' thing.
I've met and seen examples of horrific female behaviour. Bordering on evil. So let's not generalise and make nice little marked boxes for both males and females.
Obviously things are changing and i think the term 'weaker sex' is more or less obsolete today.

Men aren't evil. However in most self help books a 'female' style of communication is recommended.
I really think that is sometimes very bad advice. Can you really say that one culture is better than the other?

Are you saying that men and women have different cultures?

Yes. They grow up in diffrent cultures (girls among girls, boys among boys) and adopt diffrent gender roles. Therefore they use diffrent conversational styles.

Most of the comments in this thread should not be said to a woman.
Furthermore, I have not learned how to talk to one by reading it.

It is hard to find good material. I think you have to listen to everyday conversations, literary texts, and movie dialogues.
This will highten your senses for language more. Of course that all means work.

I don't know if the Trolling Community gives out awards for dedication but the years you've spent on this project deserve something. Perhaps lots of things. Just not the attentions of any woman.
