<blockquote>The rejections are your TEACHER AND FEEDBACK, imo. They teach you the subtle signs girls show when they don't like you (you learn to see through friendliness which SO MANY even normal guys can't do) and the not so subtle signs they show when they do like you. It's such a [[game]] of making sure to make your intentions clear non-verbally while seeing what the girl will let you get away with. All these subtle little moves are made.</blockquote> | <blockquote>The rejections are your TEACHER AND FEEDBACK, imo.

Women have [[reproductive success|produced twice as often]] as men, which means they have been subject to less selection pressure, hence retained older adaptations, but also more mutations, inaptness etc. This shows e.g. in statistics of reproductive success with regards to various mental diseases. In particular female autists are around twice as likely to reproduce than male autists (see the graph on the right) | Women have [[reproductive success|produced twice as often]] as men, which means they have been subject to less selection pressure, hence retained older adaptations, but also more mutations, inaptness etc. This shows e.g. in statistics of reproductive success with regards to various mental diseases. In particular female autists are around twice as likely to reproduce than male autists (see the graph on the right). This may suggest women are more autistic, but better at hiding it, are subject to fewer social expectations or have more opportunities to practice their social skills. | ||
If women do have better social skills as most research suggests, then the [[apex fallacy]] may explain the false expectation that ''all'' women would be superior in social skills, even though they only have better skills on average. | |||
Further, the [[women-are-wonderful effect]] may explain why why people perceive women to be more socially capable than they are. | |||
