When upset, many women often use the "Delayed Reaction Maneuver"
How effective is this technique when communicating?
Men: Can you tell when it is being used on you?
Women: Why do we use this communication strategy rather than just being upfront?

I am just so sick of dealing with it.
Last night she had a fit over me taking a bite out of her sweet potatoe.
Ridiculous.
Well that was rather rude of you :laugh:0 -
I used the "Go Ahead" once & bought the motorcycle..
Good times followed0 -
I think we use that because we tend to build up of feelings until they do that one thing that sets us off so we flood everything that they did to piss us off in the past couple of months lmao. Wish it wasn't how we tend to deal with things.. but what can ya do?0

In Maine (haven't seen it anywhere else -- yet) the female only "frying pan toss" are one of the most popular events at local fairs. "Toss" doesn't capture the essence of a black skillet flying through the air. Actions speak louder than words.0

We try our best! Well, some of us! : )0 -
Hehehehe I laughed.
Anyway, I just get quiet until I get over it then talk about it rationally0 -
I dunno. I'm pretty direct and the outcome doesn't seem to be much better.0

Females = Rational = Fantasy0

Ugh, I hate crap like this. Women don't use these techniques, girls do.0

I disagree. I feel like you're implying its a lack of maturity using these techniques. To me, it is my way of conveying I'm upset without getting confrontational. I hope he picks up on my displeasure so that I don't need to have it out about everything.0 -
I don't use them. Why should I? If I say fine, I mean it 's fine. If I say nothing, I mean nothing. If I'm pissed or hurt, I'm just gonna say it. I don't understand women.0

I love your top, where did you get it? lol. I want one haha.0 -
I'm brutally honest. It works best for me. If I don't say what I'm feeling I turn into a lunatic.0

I keep running into these threads lately. I haven't checked my calendar, is it Don Draper week?
OP lots of people, men and women, handle conflict poorly in lots of different ways. Putting some ineffective habits in the woman box and some in the man box just leads to stupid crap like what tannedtiger and doug_pierce said.
Everyone should just do their best to keep calm and honest during disagreements. Because people.
Edit to add another person saying something stupid.0 -
I'm awkward and emotionally stunted... I don't get overly emotional and avoid heart to heart conversations that make me all ooey gooey like the plague.... This often makes me seem cold hearted or B*tchy.
When I'm mad I definitely internalize and walk away, then deal with it as frankly and non drawn out as possible once I've processed everything.0 -
