Yes, if they are repeatedly showing this then it is less “having a bad day” and more “I am usually like this regardless of the day“, unless the person is really bad or something at not letting something that they run into everyday affect their mood.

Hm, yeah, I would assume they are having a bad day.. unless they are repeatedly showing this lol.. i think they act according to how they feel whether something hindered this action or not..

Maybe they hid it well, or maybe you thought they are just having a bad day? Both girls and guys may express this, for various reasons. Someone may act snobby or like a show-off for no reason. What do you think?

hmm.. interesting! I never thought this would be called moody, but I never really came across anybody who had grudges with the opposite sex..maybe they hid it well?

[...] of some very interesting comments by Vivien [inspirationbit] recently, I have come to realize that I should ask this question in order to learn something myself [...]

Yes, you didn’t say that. I asked that as a question, as sometimes I really look at some people [teenagers mostly] and they seem to be depending on the fact that being moody and hard to get will really attract someone.

Also, by saying moody in my comment, I was aiming mainly at many teenager gangster-wannabes who act moody on purpose to appear macho to girls, and also many teenager show-off girls who act moody on purpose so that guys will think they are so hot they are hard to get [see the stereotype I used for each case? :D]. I think, if we can observe such a teenager characteristic, which may not even be moodiness but swings in public moods on purpose just to achieve something selfish at the cost of comfort of someone else, we can easily see how even more adults [than teenagers] act similarly in everyday life, both at work and outside the workplace. Teenagers aren’t evil, but they are good example setters for this case. :p

PS: my “moody” post for today may not go live until around midnight. I hope that does not affect any plans for any of the regular readers here.

I didn’t say that being rude (or moody) to the opposite sex will help you to attract them, I just said that some people think it would. I personally don’t like men being rude with me, and I don’t really understand women who might like such “moody” men.

So Ronald, I’m not sure that you would really like to attract a woman who likes you being rude/moody with her, would you?

lol Ronalfy. :p I am sure you are not moody enough. Also, you can be a “rap-star” wanna be teenager [male/female] and act moody, and see how some folks will flock your way.

Paul should be the only radio dj in the world! Hmmmm, ok, j/k.

Being moody to the opposite sex has never helped attract them to me. Maybe I’m not moody enough?

Well, if I want to learn how to treat women badly, all I have to do is listen to the rap station for an hour and I’ll be ready to go.

Good point, that some people do it just to get attention and be “cool.” Gangster-wannabes? Show-off’s? Or maybe just acting like that to attract more people from the opposite sex?

Yes, the two can be combined, and now that I think of it, I knew people who’re rude to the opposite sex on purpose - just to get the attention and appear to be “cool”.

Good point. Yes, such a moodiness is actually a psychological thing because of past experiences [one example]. However, I also want to draw attention that many people simply get away with such a behavior by calling it moody and stuff.

You may have another good point there too: it is probably more of a psychological “defense mechanism” to screen out “evil” than to be moody. Do you think the two can be combined [being moody on purpose in order to be cautious] for many people?

I personally wouldn’t call this behaviour as moodiness. I can’t think of a word that can describe it the best, but it’s rather a natural defensive mechanism in action than moodiness.
