Why are so many women in their 40's so hateful to men?

Question

and as you may already know ,usually divorced

Answer 1

I don't think it's exclusive to women in their 40's...

Answer 2

I agree with those who say it's probably mistreatment.

I disagree that the mistreatment is one sided. There are as many women cheating as men. Otherwise, who are those men having affairs with, other men? I think not.

I doubt things will get better until the majority of women begin to come to grips with the fact that it's not just men who misbehave, but also women.

Until we simply look at bad behavior, and say that behavior is not acceptable, this pointless gender bashing will simply further divide men and women.

I'm divorced, but I don't hate women. I do hate lying and cheating, regardless of the gender of the offender. I do hate using others and manipulating behaviors, and the breaking of promises and vows, regardless of the gender perpetrating the poor behavior.

I hate the behavior, not people, and I don't place all women on trial for the poor behavior of a few women I've encountered.

Hate the behavior, not the gender, if you really want to accomplish something, and live a more emotionally healthy life.

Answer 3

Usually because of how they have been used and then discarded by the men to whom they were dedicated and loyal to.

Men never want to put energy into a relationship that they perceive as having become 'not exciting enough' (usually regarding sex) or stagnant. They will tell themselves that they are unappreciated, being taken for granted, or any number of excuses to justify lying to and cheating on their wives before they leave them devastated and nothing more than a divorce statistic. Women will put all of their energies into the family unit and trying to live up to everyone's expectations - often putting their own ambitions on a back burner - for what? To have her husband of 10, 15, 20 or more years leave her and their kids for a girl have his age and more exciting in the sack? I think that is a pretty good explanation - men who aren't willing to take responsibility and live up to their vows/promises.

No bitterness here, lol. And I'm not even 40 yet!

Answer 4

Why are all men such degenerate pigs? Neither is true. You are generalizing. We are not all hateful. We are not all divorced. Some have never been married. It's just so hard to find someone you can stand for a long period of time. Hell, most of our parents were dying to divorce us as soon as we turned 18. So quit the crying, either keep looking or be happy by yourself.

Answer 5

I don't know if this is necessarily true, but I'd say 40 years provides a great deal of experience - seeing mother, sisters, aunts, nieces, cousins, friends, etc. have relations with men - some probably ok but you have to admit - many relationships can get pretty ugly.

People pour a tremendous amount of faith into relationships and they get burned or see loved ones get burned..

Answer 6

I've only been married once, since I was 18 and I'm 43. I actually love men, but I love my man most. We've been through it all. But he continued to love me and choose me and show me he could be a decent human being who made a mistake.

Because of that I guess I believe in his goodness. I did get my heart broken a bit, but he helped me glue it back together.

If there were more good men like my husband, there'd probably be more happy, gorgeous ladies in their 40s. Women bloom when they get love and attention, just like flowers.

Answer 7

The divorced part lets you know that there have been problems in the past. At 40, most women have had experience with a hurtful relationship and alot of them become male bashers. It's because of how they've been treated in the past, but the right man can show a woman that there are good men out there. I know I've been treated like dodo but when I least expected it, Mr. Right found me and wiped away all of my male bashing!!

Answer 8

Because the want everything their way. They want to make all the decisions and have the man just bring home the bacon. They really thought there was going to be a "happily ever after" when they married the alcoholic/lazy/drug user and were disappointed when it didn't work out. They are the ones who never wanted the "good guy" they wanted the "bad boy". They got what they deserved.

Answer 9

I am in my 40's, don't hate on men, and happily married for 10 yrs.
I think you generalize to much.
the question should be, "why do you attract 40ish women whom hate on men, and are usually divorced?"

Answer 10

1--up to 35 every things is right in humen body problems start after 35 up to 40--45 man or women both r unhappy with their phisical or mental health .they dosent satisfy fully each other ,
2---childrens grow up to this age family and money problems starts,Demands increase suply short and problems start and where it ends u know.

Answer 11

If all the women you are attracting are hateful to you, don't you think its something your doing????

I am 37 and I don't hate, its an ugly word. Plus your judging an entire group of women by the select few you have come across which in itself is so wrong.
