Email: Drawing conclusions [CT]

I know people draw conclusions on their own (unilaterally) about others' intentions, but since I prefer discussion and closure (talking things through and mutual agreement or understanding wherever possible), I've never understood it when women assume the worst motives of men -- insincerity, lack of followthrough and so on -- based on little or no information. It's a different thing when the man gives concrete evidence of same (as he too often does), but [good guys] get tired of being tarred with the brush of the bad boys.
