Emotional blackmail can happen anywhere and with any type of person. And it is wide-spread. It's not just that one "office weirdo" who sits in the corner mumbling to herself.

I was wrong.
Chris, it seems to me like you just donned a vest with a bright red bullseye painted on it...where did you get the notion that women are trying to 'impede men from speaking', or that they're walking around with Bowie knives in their purses, secretly trying to hack off our 'cojones' as we sleep?
That's a bit much, and I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you...plus, you sort of come across as one of those 'Ill say what I want and if you don't like it, f**k off' types... as if no one can contradict or dare to disagree with you, especially women---BZZZZZT!!! extreme wrong answer, dude...
And then trying to tell folks what tone to have or not have with you? Not cool at all...people are going to speak there minds, and not give a flying damn about your 'Official I'm Right So Shut Up!' license...just un-frackin-believable

And no matter how many self-help books you order from Amazon, you are still not an expert on women. In nearly every single thread, you've got a list of titles and authors to suggest.
The more you post, the more obvious it is that you are a precocious Doogie Howser wanna-be. You come across as trying to be the "young genius" who rolls his eyes at all of us who have the experience you've only read about. The fact that you are lashing back with insults to anyone who disagrees makes this even more absurd.
You're in way over your head, here, kiddo. Keep doing your homework, but stay away from the pop-psychology section.
I'll either get a "talk to the hand" , or be told to "get an education" or some other playground insult, or all of the above, but that's okay; you're only proving what everyone else already knows.

He's a sophomore, by literal meaning of the word: wise fool. He's taken a couple of 100-level Psych classes, so he knows all.

I was wrong, you weren't as outgoing as I thought (proving my point - go out more).
Even more evasion and name-calling, rather than answering a very simple question. Your debate skills are terrible, among the worst on this forum.

Agreed. And the condescending tone doesn't help his case, any. He gave you credit. You blew it by challenging him. Shame on you, Julia!
I'll get back to you with a book and author that I will suggest you read.
Chris, there's also a difference between being "outgoing" and "going out". And your "leech" reference makes no sense whatsoever. What exactly is Julia "leeching" from you? Your incredible wealth of knowledge?
Cheesiemom: that is why I told that some of you should get an education. Because I did my homework lady. If my tone sounds arrogant then you should try getting more confidence.
You really need to get off the computer and go wash behind your ears. And, for the record, you don't sound arrogant at all. You simply sound, well, young and stupid. Sorry if I offend, but you're the one making the idiotic posts here.
Ahh Chris, we have been through this before. Reading psychology books and taking a few courses does not an expert make. You have had no experience with life, much less women, and yet you presume to lecture women about their opinions. You are the one getting extremely irritated at people who don't share your views. You are very young and have a lot of learning to do before your posts hold weight.
