A great example that constantly happens to me when I'm "among the guys". This has happened since like 4th grade... all groups of guys have done it to be without fail.

One guy will do something insulting whatever it may be, like he'll insult me, and I'll just kind of stare at him and wait for the topic to change. Then he'll goad me and say,

"Cmon, fight back! Hit me! Tell me to F off!"

I'll usually shrug and reply, "What's the point?"

He will say, "To be a man! Punch me! Where are your balls?"

"I dunno, you tell me," I answer with a blank look.

This has happened to me so many times from so many different guys, usually in the context of a locker-room type atmosphere. Sports, work, recreation, stuff like that. Manly activities! I've basically had that exact conversation like 100 times, often repeating it over and over with the same people. I don't know what I'm missing but I guess when these guys look at me they don't see a complete human It must be like looking at a person without a head. I really have no idea.
