Wow, what a great site - I've been reading it spellbound for the last 2 hours! It does seem pretty accurate - lots of evolutionary psychology ideas in it. And funny to boot. Thanks for posting it

I can't tell you how many times people ask the webmistress as their Frequently Asked Question - why can't I ****ing do this socially assertive thing or that socially assertive thing or not care what other people think or do or be this or that or the other. And the answer is - Your Social ****ing Inhibition Mechanism doesn't want you to! It loves you and wants to protect you and it's scared ****ing ****less of Other People because it has been around since the dawn of humanity and it has noticed that the mother****ers can be really ****ing scary and mean. You can work with your own personal bouncer to make it a little less menacing but honest to ****ing God its heart is in the right place even if its tactics can be brutal sometimes. That's why, that's why. You're not defective, you're not different, you're not lacking in courage or confidence, you're not a wuss, you're not hopeless, you just have a Social Inhibition Mechanism that you want to have a chat with and develop a little more comfortable working relationship with. It's your friend. Really. It is. I swear.
