denegrate men and protect women, despite their clear manipulative tendencies - look how they treat each other - ever been in a room (or office) full of women where their petty jealousies are revealed.\n\nAnd then they berate you for being bitter - it's called manipulation.

In a sense, you're right about manipulation and believe me, it's difficult to tolerate! But there's other ways to manipulate too, such as misleading, deceiving and then deifying. It's still diffiuclt to almost impossible to tolelerate.

WE TRY TO BE LIKE A MAN IN OUR ACTIONS WHEN WERE HURT WE COVER UP HOW WE REALY FEEL BECAUSE ARE EMOTIONS ARE  NEVER ACCEPTED IN THE "REAL WORLD"BUT BECAUSE WE ARE EMOTIONAL PEOPLE WE THEN CHANGE OUR MIND AND STOP TRYING TO COVER UP OUR FEELINGS BUT BY THEN ITS TO LATE.(WE ACT ON LOGIC FIRST THEN EMOTIONS LATTER.)

Because they think you can do better, and they're just fustrated with you.  Well with my experiences it's usually fustrating because they come and complain about their men/women, but then always go back to them at the end of the day.

Lying.  SERIOUSLY!!! Women lie allll the time.  Even the "honest" ones.  And they WANT you to lie to them back!  They bait you with questions like "does this dress make me look fat?"  If you tell the truth you are screwed.\n\nI saw a show on TV with Dr. Drew over the holiday weekend about the differences between men and women.  Basically men are direct and straightforward with our communication.  Women are more subtle, they exaggerate, and they want affirmation.  It all boiled down to women lie and men don't.\n\nIt's not surprising that women need so much reassurance.  Liars distrust everybody.\n\nOh! And second would be disrespect.  They (these days) treat us men as if we owe each of them servitude for the oppression that their ancestors received.  They think that they own the world.  I hate that.  I NEVER oppressed a single woman!  Don't treat me like I did.  And YOU were never oppressed.  Stop acting like you were!\n\nMy favourite thing about women?  Femininity.  Girlyness.  I love the gentle nature that women possess.  I like that they need reassurance and affirmation.  I'm glad to give it in abundance. I like being a gentleman.  And I like a girl who lets me be a gentleman.

I've been guilty of that "super nice, but I am really hating you at this moment" kind of behavior.  A lot of the time it's because we want you to know why we are upset.  Not just that we're pissed- but the reason you pissed us off!  It can be tough figuring that one out, I know...  And the whole niceness thing is fake, you know that.... we want you to know we are ticked and trying to hide it...\nI think most women assume that men are emotionally retarded and think we are making it easier to understand us, when actually we are making it harder.  Good Luck with your girl...

Honest to God, my head is just spinning after reading some of the bull roar some of you women are answering with.\n\nTo the person asking the question: Read what most the zany women are saying and pack it away in your brain.\n\nThey are rationalizing with excuses and not claiming responsibility for their actions. Pure and simple.\n\nWhen the shoe is on the other foot they scream it out loud and clear when a man cheats, how terrible and nasty it is.\n\nThis my young man is known as a typical double-standard that MANY women base their thought-processing skills on: Being irrational while judging others and complete hypocrites.

I think about this almost daily, as I am currently going through a divorce myself, because of some unbeliveably UGLY stuff my husband has done.  I, as well, consider myself wounded, possibly to that same point of no return---from that hardened heart.  Only, I ask can any MAN be trusted.  When I read your question, it just hit me:  I know I, a woman, CAN be trusted.  Obviously, you feel that you can.  So, YES, we are out here.  We made bad choices in allying ourselves with the people we married--people unworthy of trust.  That does not mean there are not wonderful persons of integrity in each gender out there.  Let's try to move forward and treat people as individuals, rather than representatives of the worst common denominator of their gender.  After all, how would either of us feel if we were dismissed as capable of the UGLY?  ...but I am with ya.  I mean, it's all well and good to say these things to myself, but getting to the point of feeling it in my heart is different.  Good luck to us both/all!

There is jealousy everywhere.  I think everyone deals with it at one point or another.  It's pretty immature, and people who threaten or do harm of any sort have very low self esteem and have to bring others down so it will make them feel better.  It's very sad what someone will do to shift any attention to them.  Just stay away from those types of people.  Do not react at all, because thats what keeps them going.  Do not give them the satisfaction of seeing you scared or angry at what they are doing.  That is exactly the reaction they are screaming for because thats the only attention they can get.  LOSERS!!!!

All men are jerks... the difference is that some of us are better at hiding it. What kind of women would be considered a              BEE-ATCH?

If they are doing that it is very cruel and immature. It doesn't say much for their character or the character of the people that they are involved with. It is sad. \n\nThe best thing you can do is ignore it, as hard as its, you just have to let it go. If you ignore it and walk away, they will stop.

Well, I think there is some truth to the stereotype that guys have issues with their feelings.   Many of us certainly don't have the emotional vocabulary to describe our feelings like the ladies do.\n\nAnother reason is sometimes it's not "safe" to express how we feel.\n\nFor example, if we feel rejected because we are not getting enough sex from our wives, we are called sex crazed by those same wives.  Why would anyone continue to share their feelings if those feelings are invalidated.\n\nMen don't have the corner on this market, women invalidate their man's feelings with similar frequency.\n\nI agree, there are ladies who refuse to share their feelings.  They may sulk, pout, or put the walls up, but when you ask them what is wrong, what is the first word past the lips, "Nothing."

You haven't met very many women, I'm guessing. \n\nWe aren't negative. Well, some of us are, but not all of us. \n\nAnd those of us who have negative tendencies often see that as being critical of things around us. That means we can provide criticisms as well as praise. \n\nI just think many women evaluate things more than many men do.

I have never heard an abusive man described this way, to be honest. What I have heard from women in this kind of relationship is that they hate how the guy treats them, but they deserved it cos they said something or did something stupid. Soooo wrong!!\n\nThese women are wholly lacking in self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence. They've been put down for so long, they truly believe the guy is right. They are so low on confidence that they will continue to state, Ohh, but I love him. I think that is because they see no way out..they feel they can't make it on their own, especially if they have kids, and they truly are SCARED to go it alone. They want someone to take care of them...and no, they really DON'T want the abusive guy, but they won't do anything about it until they learn to build up their self -esteem and truly believe that they are worth so much and have done NOTHING to deserve this kind of treatment.

They simply say this statement because they want to keep you holding on to their balls but really they are afraid of commitment and don't want to let you know because they know they will lose you. I think if they flirt and talk to other women though, you should not distrust them. I think flirting is nature and I don't care what anyone says, everyone does it from time to time. So go out there and do it in front of him and see what he has to say about it.

Women like a challenge. They are unable to accept men as they are. They always want to make us over & later ask whatever happened to that person they first fell in love with?\nBe yourself & don't give the matter another thought. Some women can not believe they are not irrestible. It shatters them & so the anger

Wow someone sounds positively angry with the guys......some men are this way but many are not....it sounds like you have been hurt ....if so you need to not let this turn you into a bitter, and twisted person try to get past it. Good luck.
