3	Women control the grey area Great point! I think there's a curve going on here, and it's not linear. The best salespeople do not need to lie or misrepresent anything. Mediocre salespeople do. Terrible salespeople aren't capable of lying. Incidentally, I've trained, worked alongside and managed many salespeople in my career. I suspect something similar happens with EQ, emotional vulnerability, and transparent communication on tense topics. Infants can't lie. Toddlers lie a lot, and it's part of their maturation. Same goes f…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/26 03:19 PM
3	Women control the grey area Totally agree! This behavior is very common in both sexes and every gender I've known. Overcoming fears of rejection, learning what you like, and learning how to communicate that well, is a difficult challenge we all face growing up. Some folks just never grow up.

The women and men I've known who showcased strong communication around sensitive topics like romance and sex have invariably been highly emotional intelligent. When I reflect on those who preferred…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/26 11:28 AM
4	Women control the grey area Yes, but the effect is the other way around. Low EQ = Indirect communication. High EQ = direct communication. I think low emotional intelligence drives a preference for vague and ambiguous communication, because the direct equivalent is scary, and confronting that requires emotional intelligence. Very much a pocket theory. I have not researched that academically and it's not my field of expertise. Just sharing my two cents from my own experience.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/26 10:59 AM
10	Women control the grey area This behavior (of preferring vague/implied communication over explicit/overt communication) is definitely exhibited by both sexes and all genders, though I share your perspective it's kinda frustrating. In my experience it's a function of emotional intelligence, not sex or gender. Source: being a bisexual ho for many years.	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/07/26 10:04 AM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
