Repetition

Repetition. Letters for men are far more likely to repeat positive words than letters for women:

Here we found that the letters for women that had at least one of these terms had an average of 1.5 terms, whereas the letters for men that included at least one had an average of 2.0 such terms. That is, there was repetition of standout adjectives within men’s letters to a greater extent.
Trix & Psenka 2003, pg 18(208)

This is possibly too hard to detect — feel free to close!

I like this! I'm glad you included it. Repetition can be powerful.
