Hey guys. Welcome back. I hope you are all doing great.
Today, I’ll share a theory on female communication to clarify a question many men have: Why are women often ambiguous?
Why do they rarely give clear-cut answers? Why do they act so ambiguous about their interests? Why is it always a “maybe”?
“Get to the point!” is a line I hear frustrated men say to women. Yes, I have also been guilty of saying something along these lines to women, or I think it to myself.
Women convey “maybe” for many reasons. You hear her say: “Maybe we can meet on Monday,” “Maybe I love you,” or “Maybe we should do X.”
Aside from the “maybe,” which is a word that conveys ambiguity, sometimes, women’s behavior is ambiguous. They may show mixed signals or seem not to make up their minds. It gets frustrating. You want an answer, either “YES” or “NO.”
So, why do many women do that
For starters, women DO make up their minds and ARE decisive—in non-social settings. In professional settings, I rarely encounter this.
You may be asking: Is this indecisiveness due to biology? Perhaps. Biological factors are likely to be indirectly causing this. A nurturing nature, societal treatment, and how women are socialized have conditioned women to act like this, especially toward men.
I do not think it is due to irrationality. A fallacy you may have heard is that this behavior is due to women only being driven by emotions and that they are incapable of logically making up their minds. It’s a flawed (and honestly, sexist) stereotype about women being irrational.
Why does this fallacy exist? It’s a projection of male logic.
