Women With Highly Analytical Minds Never Tolerate 7 Subtle Behaviors Average Thinkers Miss
stockfour / ShutterstockAnalytical thinkers tend to focus more on logic and reasoning rather than emotion. There are pros and cons to this type of thinking. Analytical thinkers tend to come up with solutions to problems faster than emotional thinkers. They recognize patterns and trends and are always thinking of the next step.
As a result, highly analytical women quickly recognize when a man's behavior is likely to be a long-term problem and refuse to tolerate it. This is a superpower because they save themselves a great deal of heartache by cutting things off before they become a major issue. While women who think more with their hearts than their heads may find themselves experiencing the same painful treatment over and over, these women move on and wait for someone who will show them the respect they know they deserve.
If a woman has a highly analytical mind, she'll never tolerate these subtle behaviors that those who are average thinkers miss
1. Vague communication

An inability to communicate clearly is a big red flag in relationships. If somebody isn’t communicating their thoughts and their needs, there is typically an underlying reason. Vague communicators risk failing to get their point across or coming off as non-committal.
Imagine you just started dating someone and they won't text to confirm plans. This is a behavior that women with analytical minds pick up on immediately and refuse to put up with for even a short period of time.
2. Actions and words that don't match
I’m not saying I have an analytical mind myself, but I preach the importance of this to my friends. There’s probably nothing I can’t stand more than when a friend complains that a guy she's dating is telling her one thing but acting in a way that doesn't support his statements. I always say the same thing, no matter how many times they've heard it from me or anyone else: actions speak louder than words.
Women with analytical minds will pick up on this immediately and avoid the eventual disappointment of realizing they have been hoodwinked this whole time.
3. Guilt-tripping
This is a big one. A lot of times, people fall victim to guilt-tripping or other forms of emotional manipulation. I personally tend to ignore these red flags when I've just met someone because I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt. However, I have learned that sometimes you have to be more careful than you think.
When a man tries to guilt-trip a woman, he is trying to control her through emotional blackmail. Women who think carefully about the deeper meaning behind other people's actions refuse to take on any feelings of guilt or shame just because a man thinks they should.
4. Tiny lies

Analytical women notice when people’s stories don’t line up. For example, a man may have told her he was going on vacation over the weekend, but the next day he claimed he had stayed home. These lies are subtle, and for the most part, harmless. As a result, people tend to ignore these inconsistencies, but they become an Issue down the road as those lies grow.
Women who think critically about things notice this kind of behavior early on and are cautious moving forward. They know that the likelihood is that a man who lies to her has lied to others before and isn't likely to stop.
5. Being expected to stay quiet in order to keep the peace
Women with analytical minds don’t ignore conflict just to keep the peace. I, for one, have a tendency to do this. If a man has upset me, I tend to ignore it because it seems easier in the moment. However, it’s better to address conflicts as they arise, so they don’t become larger issues down the line.
If a woman tends to give things careful thought, she is well aware that keeping those thoughts to herself is never going to result in her being happy. Instead of suffering through awkward moments and ridiculous arguments, she'll simply move on and find someone who can handle her being her own person.
6. Repeated mistakes

It’s true that everybody makes mistakes. However, repeating the same mistake can be detrimental to the people around you. At work, if you show up late every single day, it might result in termination.
Women who give things careful thought notice when someone repeatedly makes the same mistakes and is either unwilling or unable to learn to correct them. They know that this tendency will only become more problematic with time and that they don't need to be anyone's teacher.
7. Close-mindedness
Studies have proven that intelligent people tend to be open-minded. They seek opportunities that push them out of their comfort zone and make an effort to talk to people who do not share the same background or belief system as they do.
Highly analytical women notice when people are closed off and stuck in their own ways. It’s an easy way to spot when somebody might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, and a woman who values flexibility won't tolerate it for long.
