Upset Men And The Happy Women Who Love Them: "'The women tend to want to engage around conflict,' she [Shiri Cohen, clinical psychologist and researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital] told Shots. 'They're deriving more satisfaction when they see that their partner is upset.'"

I'm sorry but what does this have to do with men's rights? It's interesting but would rather belong to /r/relationshipadvice

These generalizations are ridiculous. I know plenty of guys who love dramatic relationships, and chicks who enjoy drama-free, relaxed happy relationships. And vice versa. This is incredibly far from being either an equality issue, or even remotely genuine science.

I don't like this article's phrasing. I've read elsewhere that women prefer men who are empathetic. Basically that's what this article is saying, but making it seem darker than it really is.

Don't we have some fucking mods on this subreddit?

She asked 156 couples to remember incidents in the relationship

Really? So 78 women were asked a question. This still needs peer review, and a much larger sampling size, and more importantly an actual fMRI to confirm what they say. It's a start, but having people rate their own feelings while remembering an irritating memory is only a start.

My roommate is married in the opposite situation. She's always raging

Psychology or astrology? Same thing.

this happens becuase women are not affraid enough her man will dump her... and women love drama

i often act like a women with girls i am dating.... sometimes joking, sometimes not

threating to break up over the slighest thing they do wrong...

starting drama for no reason....

sometimes i forget its just a mind game... its become so normal with me. (copying female tactics is highly effective at both controling releshionships and banging new girls.)

they know i would really break up with them or ignore them if they gave me good reason... but they also know im joking most of the time i do this with them.

the girls who know about my interest in mens rights, and female psycology, often laugh when i act like a girl..... as they know im joking most times. (hey dont talk to me that like, that! you should respect guys!, you obviously were not raised right!)

but at the same time... sometimes im only half/joking or not at all... and those times its interesting to watch how effective it is on girls to change the way they act / think.

for example

(you think a father should be forced to have a child against his will?... wow your sexist... its a mans body and life, its his choise.... sexist losers like you will never get a real man, all you can get is desperate losers who are just using you before dumping you for a better looking girl at the first chance)

i really do say the above to my female freinds... and i say it seriously... and they often take it seriously.

i still smile at the confused look on there faces.... as they struggle to listen to the same bullshit they themselves have told men most of there lives..... these girls are long past the female tempure tantrum stage.... and have learned to listen and think when i play my "role reversal game"

sometimes i think me And the girls dont even know when i am serious, and when its just a joke.

expect we all know im not really insulting them....

i am rather tolerent of there negitive female traits, and they are rather tolerent of me calling them "ugly flatt chested losers" to show them how a women would act if a man did what they just did.

"ashley?.... did you just say you didnt sleep with a guy on the first date?.... wow... your a loser... i would never waste my time with a worthless girl like that.. REAL women Always make sure a man she is with is sexualy satisfied."

its funny and a teaching tool
