Nobody is every woman, a woman interested only in a guy's behavior is not every woman either.
I simply dislike generalizations based on gender stereotypes. I think they're not supportive of genuine communication. We're
all very unique and wonderful persons. Making assumptions about people based on their gender (or even teaching them to conform to such stereotypes) takes a lot of beauty out of life IMO. If you (not talking specifically to you Plato) meet a woman and want to sweep her off her feet, then instead of thinking "Ah, boobs => woman => interested in behavior => let's show I'm an alpha male",
look at this unique individual in front of you, and try to find out who they
really are (and what they're
really interested in).
I also think there can be no objective statistics about what women in general like, because the reality we perceive is a reflection of our beliefs. So if you believe that women are mostly interested in behavior, then you'll find plenty of women and studies to back this up. I don't believe that women are mostly interested in behavior, so in my reality, that's totally not the case. Who's right, huh? Nobody.
