While it’s true that women are going to pick up body language and kinetic cues that you might be unaware of, don’t mistake that for someone having a full informed picture of your own emotional state. People misread cues all the time, and if women had this magical intuition in spades, they’d be dominating all the poker tournaments and arms negotiations.

While I like the content of this paragraph a lot, I have to mention that one reason women do not dominate in poker tournaments from a superior ability to pick up body language is because men generally have a superior ability for stoicism. The whole ability-to-read vs ability-to-be-a-blank-slate is an arms race between the sexes that’s more equal than the current blue-pill world gives men credit for.

I used to have a boss who had three ivy league degrees. She was a hardcore believer in Womyn’s Superiority, and also the most socially inept person I have ever dealt with. I thought it was me for a while, then I discovered that everybody else felt perpetually off-balance with her. Her thought & conversational flow was staccatto, she couldn’t follow changes in topic but constantly initiated such changes making her very difficult to follow, and she was absolutely devoid of manners, t o the extent that her routine temper tantrums were pretty much indistinguishable from her day to-day communications. Couple that with a nearing-flattened affect, and one could never tell whether she was being mean, joking, sneering, or trying to play it straight. It was like trying to balance on one leg on a basketball on a concrete floor covered with marbles. Worst communicator I have ever met.
