Why do men always have to think their right?

Question

I find that men sulk if you tell them thier wrong!

Answer 1

that is so true! men have ego problems and if you tell them that they are wrong, they feel as if you are threatening their imaginary superiority.

Answer 2

A possible answer to your question may be that away back before society as we know it was ever formed, the roles for men and women were clearly defined ie, men were the hunters and the women looked after the babies and kept the caves nice and clean. While the women were far removed from the hunting fields, the men had to suffer the angst of dealing with big game which could in fact turn on the hunter and make his attempt at providing food for the table quite a precarious event. This resulted in some but not all of the male species suffering from post traumatic stress which meant that some men had violent tendencies which showed in mood swings while others played it cool. However It would appear that even in these days women had an easy life but were without the neccesary skills which would be suitable in the hunt for meat for the cavehold. This effectively made the man head of the cavehold and therefore 'right' in all that was said and done because the women knew they were onto a good thing. As the generations have come and gone, many of todays male population have inherited the genes from the mood swingers and will make it known that they are always right because the woman let him have all the opinions and make all the decisions because these women are afraid of the outspoken males, while those who have inherited from the cool dudes will say nothing and have nothing to prove because they know they are right and want an easy life,
by letting the woman in his life think what she likes.
Either way the man is always right because I asked my wife and she looked at me with those adorable eyes and she said yes.

Answer 3

The only 'men' who sulk if you tell them they are wrong are not men at all, but only immature boys! Why would anyone sulk if told they were wrong? Surely if you were a responsible adult and you were told you were wrong, you would just accept it and apologise and make sure not to do whatever you did wrong again!

Is it me being completely old fashioned or are people nowadays just too spoilt and seem to always want their own way regardless of whether being right or wrong?

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly don't sulk if I am told I'm wrong...I just take the criticism and make sure I learn from it.

Answer 4

Why do Women always think that Men are WRONG then?

There are those of my gender who sulk, for various reasons. But this question and its origins are not present and there is no real broader context with which to discuss or answer it.

A number of women I know have difficult in remember which is their Left and Right hands ....that is 'a number' of women, NOT all women. So how would it be if I asked, 'Why can't women tell their left from their right?'

Your original question ...maybe the reason they sulk is in relation to the subject you are telling them they are wrong about? Or maybe it is in 'how you tell them!' ...and maybe it's not sulking, but something else!

Sash.

Answer 5

So what makes you think your right to be able to tell a man he is wrong, are you so perfect that you never make mistakes or get things wrong, if you don't want to see a man sulk then stop telling him hes wrong all the time, my hubby never thinks hes right all the time and neither do I, we love each other too much to be petty.

Answer 6

The two most over used words in the English language are "always" and "never". If is usually a safe bet that when either men or women use "always" or "never" in discussing problems the relationship is likely very troubled. Your use of the term "always" says volumes about you and your view of life.

Such generalization are counter productive. All men do not always think they are right no more so than all women always know they are right.

Answer 7

Men don't think that they are always right but the once that do think the are right all the time is cause they don't want to hear or get into a big argument about something stupid so they just say there right and u just go along with it to make him happy and that's the end of it... works don't it

Answer 8

Our job Fran is to keep our mouth shut, or grin pleasantly, or snicker while he is not looking or just act as if it never happened. This is only to our man, others are fair game!

Some men have been raised that there way is the right way and being wrong is a weakness. To bring this up while the man in question is still hurting inside from being wrong is not a real good idea.
If you care about this man in question (which I use man in a very light way here, people seam to get man and boy mixed up) you really need to learn the ways of woman world :0)

Good luck on your studies....

P.S.
and raise our boys different!! or try too.....

Answer 9

And why is it we women get stroppy when men tell us we're wrong!

To answer either you have to answer both

The question really should be 'Why do People'
The answers coming back would be the same though and they would all disagree.

If you forget about gender and think person you realise we are all unique and life is full of questions that have no answer.

Equality works both ways and sorry you feminists but I admit I do get stroppy when someone says I'm wrong!

Answer 10

Well, 1st of all, I am always right, because I'm freaking awesome! Why should I let you convince me I was less than awesome? You wouldn't let my convince you that you were less than awesome, would you?

Also, 2nd of all, everyone acts the same way. Women sulk too if you tell them they're wrong. Cause, after all, they think they're awesome.

Answer 11

Well they would sulk if they could see that you can't spell correctly. If you want to win an argument, at least get something simple like the difference between THEIR, THEY'RE & THERE right!
