"Male Answer Syndrome" (MAS) is the tendency among men to give answers to questions whether they know anything about the subject or not, particularly when in the presence of women.
“男性回答綜合癥”是指男性特有的對問題作出回答的傾向,不管他們是否了解所談之物。有女性在場的時(shí)候這一傾向尤為明顯。
Psychologists tell us it's a form of "male display behavior" and is a subtle method of attracting females. "Men have the courage and inventiveness to try to explain the inexplicable." A man may even start to believe his own baloney. This might account, in part, for the disproportionate number of men over women actively successful in the arts.
