1. When a woman asks”What’s wrong?” does she really know or is she just fishing?

   My theory is that this is just an interrogation technique (kinda like when the cops know you probably did something bad but they want the confession)

2. If she’s just fishing, why doesn’t this trick seem to work for guys when we try it?

The difference is most men have the sense to lie whereas a woman will often respond with “I’m fine” which means she is p~~~ed and probably you are the cause of it.

I think my exes always made me feel like I should know and they shouldn’t have to tell me.

I dunno, I always felt I was walking into a landmine when I asked “what’s wrong?”

Well, so you would presumably be much better off not asking in the first place, correct..?

She is fishing. She has her mind made up. She just wants you to say something. Then, she will contradict it and turn it into an arguement.

It is her trick. She knows it inside out. You will never match her in double think and double talk.

O.M.G. Morlock is absolutely correct. It is a special branch of the “S~~~ Test”. Never ask this question of a woman. She has been waiting for you to ask it. ….

I’ve always thought there were two versions.

The first version is when she is fishing. And I think because the right brain is the more dominant hemisphere for women, which is where non verbal information is processed, they’re better at it than men.

Maybe the second version is like what I think you are referring to. There is an issue that the woman wants to bring up, so she sets the man up with obvious non verbal clues that an elephant couldn’t miss (sighing, looking forlorn or sadly gazing out of a window), just waiting for the guy to take the bait.

Guys aren’t good at this because by nature we’re not underhanded, and we communicate in a direct factual manner. Men are like the British were in war during the colonial era; we march in an orderly fashion and obey the rules of engagement in a discussion (i.e. logic), whereas women are like guerrilla warfare experts that stage verbal wars.

@Math, you forgot to mention with your pockets full of hand grenades and carrying two Gerry cans trash bags full of gasoline (high test, 105 octane)…
