When men say "you were right," and we mostly are (thanks neuroscientist brain scans letting us know our brains are healthier and better despite being smaller), it's not them changing their ways.
Usually, it's after you've finally cornered him through endless lies and truth bending, basically forcing his arm behind his back into respecting you as a person. (And men don't like being in that position).
An example, if you caught him cheating, and tell him he's ruining his family. When he crawls back TEN YEARS LATER after his mom stops humoring him living in her basement, and the only women he can pull are too young and naive to support him, he's gonna say you were right.
That's not a compliment.
It's just the truth.
I don't humor men saying I was right about something. I knew I was right when I told them what was up, and they thought I was too dumb to be correct.
They still probably think I'm dumb, but have been cornered into saying that by needing me for something else.
Men do not change by being proven wrong over and over, mostly because they are stupid and evil, is my point. So don't give a man points for telling the truth finally.
They know, they just do it because they think they can get away with it.
Awesome post. Thanks! I Also wanted to add about their inflated ego…. They may know they are wrong and are being proved wrong, but they choose their ego and pride instead of changing
I had an ex write me an email 15 years after we broke up telling me I was the best gf he ever had. Uuumm K.
