Anger is reassuring

We all know people, both men and women, but mostly women, who pick fights out of nowhere, and then get a sense of relief after picking them. You’ve experienced this, especially if you’ve been in a relationship with one. This has always, and continues to drive me up the wall, but apparently there is reasoning to this behavior.

As it turns out, it stems from a lack of emotions they are feeling. This makes sense to me because the one thing they hate is when you don’t react. They feed on the reaction.


Good watch. I wish I’d have had this helpful bit of information many years ago.

I don't need to read a whole article to know women are crazy.

Has not been my experience. More often the case is that they can't compartmentalize so they take shite out on the most convenient target. Guess which person is most convenient?

Attention. It's ALWAYS about attention.

Its a defense mechanism to keep them from realizing how wrong they are.

This. I can't be wrong so let me start an argument with the hubby and make him say something mean so he's the bad guy.

Women love attention, why do you think they live on social media ?

Women also love drama.
Calm, order, and routine are boring to a woman.

I think more women file for divorce due to boredom, aka "I'm not happy", than for "abuse" or any other excuse they give.

Yessir.

Dont argue, eventually you'll say something that validates her anger.

Yes, but with an important caveat: this is a perfectly reasonable position within the context of the human brain, which hasn't had much time to evolve beyond our hunter/gatherer roots.

To expound, within a pre-historic tribal setting, a man who gets ostracized by the tribe will lead a hard, lonely life. A woman who gets ostracized by the tribe will likely be raped and murdered in short order. Because of this, women are hard wired to be vastly less comfortable with being "ignored" than men are. Men who are ignored might get angry, but women who are ignored become afraid, and fear is a hell of an emotion.

In short, as long as the tribe (and in a relationship, that's pretty much just you) is still actively engaging with her, even in a negative manner, that means the tribe still considers her to be part of the tribe. At which point the tribe starts ignoring her, it means she might be in the process of being ostracized.

Even more concisely, touching a hot stove is objectively stupid in a vacuum, but if the stove going completely cold meant you died, touching it on occasion isn't irrational behavior, in spite of the resulting burn.

Women are inherently miserable. They know they fricked up eating the apple. They've simply looked to blame everyone else since then.

They don't feel in control of things because their emotional feelings don't reflect the same result in their mate.

Picking a fight gives them a feeling of control over the beliefs and actions of others.

They resolve to change someone else's feelings instead of reflecting on their own.

They don't pick fights.

They just comment on the dumb shite that you do.

Sorry you take it so personally.

I dated a girl like that... That was her only fault.. But what a fault to have.. She was great in the sack but it was always make-up sex... I could only take her crap for a year and I moved on... Of course I was the a$$hole...

It’s partly this. Also I think because men tend to not show much emotion and women tend to be insecure, they worry we don’t care about them or the relationship so they push our buttons literally just to get an emotional reaction. That reaction reassures them we do in fact care. If you fail to give them that reaction, many times it’ll eat them up inside worrying you really don’t care and often they’ll change their behavior back to how they were when you first met in order to pull you back in.

It’s been hell with mine lately cause we are trying for a child and she is on progesterone. She was moody yesterday and I asked why and she blamed that. I said well stop taking the shite women got pregnant without that pill for millenium and if it makes you act like this that ain’t gonna exactly get my dick hard.

Went over well
