3/4 of all people are 'yes men'.

Agree or disagree?
For example, Sara said in random talking that she doesn't want FB because her Boss would ask to friend request her, and she doesn't want that.
Why does she feel like she'd be obligated to say yes?
Why do people feel like saying no is unacceptable?
Why aren't more people assertive?
ing yes men, all of you. |

the funniest thing about yes people is that they are the most 2 faced.
they act like pussies in face to face situations, then act hard when the person is not around. It is quite pathetic. |

There have actually been experiments on this:
| quote: | Solomon Asch, with experiments originally carried out in the 1950s and well-replicated since, highlighted a phenomenon now known as "conformity". In the classic experiment, a subject sees a puzzle like the one in the nearby diagram: Which of the lines A, B, and C is the same size as the line X? Take a moment to determine your own answer...
The gotcha is that the subject is seated alongside a number of other people looking at the diagram - seemingly other subjects, actually confederates of the experimenter. The other "subjects" in the experiment, one after the other, say that line C seems to be the same size as X. The real subject is seated next-to-last. How many people, placed in this situation, would say "C" - giving an obviously incorrect answer that agrees with the unanimous answer of the other subjects? What do you think the percentage would be?
Three-quarters of the subjects in Asch's experiment gave a "conforming" answer at least once. A third of the subjects conformed more than half the time.
Interviews after the experiment showed that while most subjects claimed to have not really believed their conforming answers, some said they'd really thought that the conforming option was the correct one. |

| You mean you've never agreed with someone just so they'd hopefully shut the up before? How funny... |
