I disagree with this post. yes there are some one dimensional females out there, but most of the non communicators, in my opinion, are dudes. Generally speaking, dudes are stupid. devoid of an original thought. and lacking in the game area. more times than not dudes just let the female talk then agree with her viewpoints, without saying much, knowing asking a few questions will give them all the information needed to attempt to work their way in. some dudes even try, when they do talk, to appear more intelligent than they are by using words they know damn well they can't even spell, much less use in their regular communications. I tell me female friends all the time to ask open ended questions to dudes that don't indicate their own opinion, putting them on the spot, forcing them to give their opinion, then seeing if it is aligned with their own. I also suggest when dudes try to use words you know don't fit that dude, put them on the spot to spell that word. if they come with "I don't have to know how to spell it to know what it means" or "you spell it" or "i know how to spell it" without doing so..then you know what it is. Dudes lean on the fact that they are the male, as much, if not more than females leaning on the fact they are female.
