Austin you hit the nail on the head. Another area in which women are highly acute has to do with social proof.
Social proof is a shortcut people use in absence of adequate information as to the correct course of action. In such a situation, most people will rely on the judgment of others. Women use social proof to determine a man's social standing which they link to his ability to provide for and protect their offspring. The King's best friend is a far better bet than a guy with no friends.
I think my problem is mainly that I have an insatiable need for stimulating conversation and I often say things that while correct, might make others feel stupid.
After all, people tend to like people with whom they compare favorably. When people feel another is different or feel like they do not measure favorably, it is natural not to choose that person's company.
no5no5, I have noticed that some are more accepting than others. But I don't fit in with them either.
