    Well then is there a blind-study of men "picking it up" at a higher than 50% accuracy? Yeah, didn't think so.

    Summary:
    Yes, I just made a claim that there's a real effect of X on Y. What, data?, no... Y can't be measured, so there's actually no data to support the claim that X causes Y. Just take my word for it!

      LOL, you can't tell me you haven't picked up on ways to read people.... YOU CAN'T BE THIS INHUMAN.

        "reading" psychological disorder? That sounds like it would be a super-accurate and objective measurement.

          Oh, yes, of course, someone in western academia would be brave enough to suggest anything that would imply women shouldn't have sex before marriage.

            Comment on the content of my post, not me personally.

            P.S. You accuse me of being biased, but you have this stereotype you keep trying to ascribe to me that doesn't fit, but you just keep at it... For instance, you assumed I'm a liberal. I'm actually registered as a Republican and identify Libertarian on most issues. That's why I recommended that you actually take a few moments to get to know me before you hate me and lash out at me based on qualities you ascribed to me in the first place.
            I never made any prescriptive statement about what women ought to do.

              You can't measure something that isn't rational but you can learn to pick up on patterns of irrationality.

                Of course you can measure it. There's tons of research on how people make decisions about a wide variety of things and we find that people aren't always optimal or rational.

                  Compared to what scale?

                    Eh?
                    Logic, whether something is optimal, etc. are not ambiguous things. We know the rational or optimal decision, then we can observe what people actually do. If they don't match, then people are not optimal decision makers.

                    Here, check out the Wason 4-card task for a simple example of the confirmation bias (i.e. we tend not to seek information rationally).

                      Who decides what the rational or optimal decisions are? What's right for one person may not be for another.
