Trying to understand women.?

Question

Like the topic says, I guess I'm trying to get a better picture of women today. So women, here's the question, do you say what the public expect you to say or act like based on society's expectation of women and then do whatever you like behind close doors or do really act the way you think society expects you to act.

Answer 1

I just want to point out that they lie. Read what they just said and argue that. "I act however I want" RIGHT whatever you all conform to either society's view or more often your friends view. I hope you get a smart one that will actually give you an honest answer. Now I am sure some of you act just however you want and think its cool but lets be honest, you might be loud offensive one that we see all the time because she does whatever she wants. I truly think most women have a balance that adjust to the company they are keeping and the place they are at.

Answer 2

I'm not a woman, but I think society does influence them more than they may realize. If Cleopatra never wore makeup, the concept of smearing chemicals on their faces would be absurd. There are many countries where shaving legs isn't even considered. But here it is expected. Those are just a couple of examples given by someone who has met women all over the world and who knows a thing or two about history...

Answer 3

I will not be pressured by anyone.

I have few female friends because I cannot talk to them about my true interests.

Finally I work completely alone so I am by myself day in and day out. I do not manipulate others either because i was not trained to do so as a child. I have no female training, my mom died when i was a tot and dad was not there...no big deal.

Any way ,with me what you see is what you get. I am very much a diva at times and high maintenance but I am straight forward like a man. hope this helps...we are not all UP TIGHT HERFORDS

Answer 4

Your statement amd questions are all too obfuscating. No, I guess is the answer on all counts. A woman's behavior whether in private or public shouldn't be dictated by society's expectations . She should be honest and frank and truthful in her statements. She's more likely to be more open and verbal than men. Certainly her standards and code of conduct is not dictated by society's norms. To be put constraints on is not fair.

Answer 5

I do not think many women today act as if society has expectations of a "lady"...

I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination but some of the women I meet in public or associate with in public, well i am embarrassed to be seen with them.

I am a construction manager and work with men so I do not embarrass easily, but these women are just so inappropriate ....

Answer 6

I think that you will get varying answers to your questions because each woman is different. But I do think that most, not all, women do try to reach the standards that society has put on us wether it is how we look, act or our career but that is also true for men, is it not? But underneath it all, I feel that each woman has her own expectations for her life and could give a flying hoot what anyone else thinks. How else can one be truly happy?

Answer 7

I would have to say both. Example I will not pass gas in public but if I am at home I may. But then I don't think its really lady like and it may even seem better if people thought we didn't do it at all. I will not burp and to be honest I rarely ever do. So I would have to agree with your statement with a yes and no.

Answer 8

I act how I damn please! If men can walk around and adjust themselves (u men know what i mean) then I can walk around and lets say, fix my boobs if I need to. Some people get so wrapped up in this "ur a lady u shouldn't be doing that" crap. I really don't care. I'm gonna be me no matter where I am or who I'm with and if someone doesn't like it then can leave or just not look!

Answer 9

Um...niether. I do exactly as I please. If its not "politically correct" I dont give a dam. I do whatever I like behind closed doors, open doors, or no doors at all. I think most women feel the same, or at least I hope they do. Lord knows you men arent worried about what others think. Why should we? We are free to do whatever or whoever we want, when we want and how we want.

Answer 10

A real woman knows herself and acts how she wants to. Part of it may be society-based, but also part is being honest with herself and not just doing anything "for show". That's a real, mature woman and not a girl.
