I also just say thanks to compliments :). I remember being told years ago that it puts the other person at ease. Now I’m wondering if people prefer women to dispute compliments.
I used to be very argumentative, mostly about politics. At the time, I thought that my friends and the guys I dated found it appealing, but I don’t know now.
I’ve stopped being as argumentative, partly because having an aggressive, polarising debate where the aim is to win has been less appealing recently. But also, I made a new group of friends, and I think being argumentative was encouraged less in that group—at first some people disliked me for being argumentative. I think that had an influence.. I’ve often wondered if people would have reacted differently if I’d been male.
You must have high self-esteem if you could read Roissy at all! I tried looking at his blog yesterday—if I started reading it regularly it would have crushed my (reasonably high) self-confidence quite quickly.
