This is something that females I've known have a hard time accepting. They will tell me something and then ask me how I feel about it. I have feelings like any other person, very strong feelings sometimes, but then other times I will literally have no emotions regarding a subject.

Sometimes they'll tell me something that really doesn't provoke any emotional response in me whatsoever. Something that seems either trivial or purely factual in which I see no reason why I would react emotionally to it.

Sometimes the only way I feel about what they've told me is, "I have heard you, I understand what you said, I have processed it and stored it in memory."

It seems to me like the women I've known could set a pen down on a table after theyre done with it and have some sort of emotional epiphany from it, while I can only see it as a factual occurrence. Then they get upset with me when I dont have a research paper of emotions to tell them about when they ask.

I cant remember anything off the top of my head, so Ill make up an example. Something silly like, "I chose red instead of blue for our ____. How do you feel about that?"
My first thought is, "I have no preference, and I find that color acceptable. Proceed."
However, that isn't good for conversation, so I might say, "Okay, that's a really nice color. It will look good that way. Good job!"

But wait. I need to explain how I feel about that choice, emotionally. I....have no emotions on the subject. You chose a color out of two choices that I found equally acceptable. I accept the fact of your choice. I can ramble on about color theory for a while if youd like, but I dont feel any emotion about this situation.

It isnt always choices. It's about whatever, and I'm supposed to have an emotional reaction to everything that ever comes out of their mouths. I dont understand.
