Do you think that men are usually portrayed as being dumb, lazy or some other bad features in tv shows?

Yes, because even though it has been done over and over, for some reason people still think it is funny.  To me, it is  old and predicatable.  If there is a contest between men and women, you already know the whole story - man will try to cheat, woman will be brilliant and win.  When there is a brother and sister in the family, the sister will be hot and popular, the brother will be dorky.  That's part of the reason I hardly watch any TV shows - nothing new or original going on.

Not very much.  Ive seen Murry shows that have men & women who have had sex changes & the audiance has to pick out the men & women.  Sometimes it is very hard to C a great lookin woman & think she use to be a man.  WOW. I would think a man would get so tired of getting screwed over by a woman & change. R a man cant handle his sex roll so he has a sex change R Men think they can do better by being a woman.  Who knows.

I found that I get a great response from a man when I act dumb.\n\nBesides, it's known that men like to care for women too, we build up your macho when we do that..so why not?

I think people believe they represent real life situations. \nPeople find the action exciting and stimulating. They like to see the bad get what's coming to him. Then there is the violence, people just have a morbid curiosity about the bad things people do to each other and tv brings right intto the living room now.

~~to answer this question you have to be able to understand men... maybe this will help:~~\n\n*Men are like.....Placemats.\nThey only show up when there's food on the table. \n* Men are like.....Mascara.\nThey usually run at the first sign of emotion. \n* Men are like.....Bike helmets.\nHandy in an emergency, but otherwise they just look silly. \n* Men are like.....Government bonds.\nThey take so long to mature. \n* Men are like.....Parking spots.\nThe good ones are taken \n* Men are like.....Copiers.\nYou need them for reproduction, but that's about it. \n* Men are like.....Lava lamps. Fun to look at, but not all that bright. \n* Men are like.....Bank accounts.\nWithout a lot of money, they don't generate much interest. \n* Men are like.....High heels.\nThey're easy to walk on once you get the hang of it. \n* Men are like.....Mini skirts.\nIf you're not careful, they'll creep up your legs.\n\nso why are men stupid you ask??? that's pretty much self explanatory \n\nwhat is the difference between wine and men? \nWine Matures\n\nWhy do men name their penises? \nBecause they want to be on a first-name basis with the one who makes all their decisions. \n\nWhy is it so hard for women to find men that are sensitive, caring, and good-looking? \nBecause they already have boyfriends.\n\nWhat is gross stupidity? \n144 men in one room. \n\nHow many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper? \nWho knows? - did it ever happen?? \n\nHow are men and parking spots alike? \nThe good ones are always taken. Free ones are mostly handicapped or extremely small. \n\nWhat is a man's idea of doing housework? \nLifting his leg so you can vacuum. \n\nWhat is the difference between a man and E.T.? \nE.T. phoned home\n\nWhy do men chase women they have no intention of marrying? \nFor the same reason dogs chase cars they have no intention of driving.\n\n~~does that answer your question?~~

Because some men were taught that by their parents it comes from being spoiled to much I think the wrong way when they are younger I believe no one explain to the young boy about how to properly treat a woman and they watch too much TV probably only watch movies and shows that make a woman seem beneath a man...it could just be their cultural beliefs though... and get the idea that they should treat a woman however they seem fit I say it is society it has become our world's greatest weakness with everything!!!!but it also could be because woman allow men to treat them that way thus making it more difficult for stronger women to build a relationship with those men ...oh well life goes on...

I have seen friends create weaker men/husbands not by being too nice, but by taking over everything, doing everything, and controlling everything.  The men get used to them doing everything and they become lazy, weak, and don't feel needed.

Great !!!! Most men hate those stick insects.\n\nHopefully this will be a step towards REAL NATURAL Women appearing on TV & the media. Not these wafer thin, surgically enhanced mutants.

probably yes. Those shows can be pretty nasty....and lame for that matter.

Men are stupid to make women feel better about themselves.

Yes.\n\nWhy?  I saw a comedy routine a while back by a person known as the "Caveman" (I think) who explained it as follows:  Men were hunters; they needed to focus like laser-beams on one thing and one thing only - killing food without it killing them.  Women were gatherers; they had to have a diffused awareness of everything around them so that they didn't overlook anything that could be useful or edible.  The explanation made sense to me.  It still does.

Yes, that bothers me but I cannot help but laugh when I see them portrayed this way in movies.  I suppose I am use to all the gay humor and offensive portrayals that I , am gay male, laugh at these insane perceptions.\n\nBut, unfortunately in the TV world a gay drama queen wearing fuzzy pink daises and a tied up shirt is more "dramatic" and appealing to the audience versus a "normal" acting gay guy. It's just the sad truth.\n\nIt's up to people to separate fact from fiction...and I think most people will base their perception on experiences they have on their own with gay people.

men unfortunately are a lot more shallow then women are. we can look past appearances and see characters and personalities...guys have a harder time with that. \nMen just suck, thats all.

The media is encouraging this trend that you mentioned.  In my opinion, all of these "makeover shows" such as "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," etc. really needs to stop.  I don't mind if gay dudes wanna fuss over their hair and primp themselves like they were getting ready for the Miss America paegent, but for the rest of us straight guys who could really care less about what mainstream media is suggesting to us today, I propose a new batch of reality TV shows for the manly men out there.  What we need to get are more manly TV shows like "Real Life: I'm a Pirate", "Gus the Lumberjack" or "Slash McNash: Vigilante Justice."

I honestly think guys are into blondes because most of the time they come off as easy, ditsy, or just plain stupid. (not all though) Therefore it's not hard to get them to do whatever it is they want.
