Giving up and/or telling others to.
Duh. I meant to elaborate further. I sense a story behind that one. Don't be shy :)
But the two things are opposite. You wouldn't expect to find them in the same person, would you? Is it that some NT women give up, while others tell you to give up?

Nope, I see them do both more often than NT males do. Maybe not at the same time in the same instance, but they do tend to do one or the other.

Pippi gave us an example of the first in this thread; bluemonday gave us an example of the second also in this thread.

You find them in the same person because we have balance that NT men lack. We can rationally agree to disagree (ie. give up because we aren't getting anywhere) and we can point out that you've lost when your argument fizzles to 'meh' (ie. demand that you give up). Most NT men cannot do that first one because they are rigid and inflexible and stubborn and can never admit that they are wrong or have lost.

I don't mind losing a battle if it means winning the war.

I see. *idly contemplates the operation yet again but is too attached to "the twins"*

Listen you. We are not great with the subtlety. If you want me, just say so already!
Of course he wants you, men wouldn't post on this thread if they didn't want NT women!

It's hard to win a war if you don't believe in the existence of your weapon.

You just want to be sure and have the satisfaction of shutting it down if it exists. Schrodinger's Cat is hard to pin down when the box is closed, isn't it? :D

None of what you have said there is gender-specific. Since it isn't even your bias, you've no business to repeat it!

Not really. Biologically, men benefit from spreading their genes around as much as possible. They don't have an overwhelming need to nurture and protect their young.
