Do woman misuse emotions as a weapon to get their way ?

Question

How much of a woman's emotions should a man take seriously ? Men often fall prey to woman's viscious weapon of outcry and outburst in the most crowded places. It can be embarrasing for the men who would easily give in so that no to create a drama. But women deliberately dramatise every situation in order to win - win at all cost. Even if it means 'marraige on the rocks'.
Men are truly unhappy victims of these situations. What would the outcome be in the end ?

Answer 1

It is normal, we woman behave like this because this is our nature, some of us more and some less.
The end depends on the man, most of them get used to this scenarios and resolve the problems by fulfilling the woman's wishes.
The other minority that cant deal with this, they just decided to live in hell.
The important thing is that always in the end we get what we want.

Answer 2

Yes, some women do. How much of a person's emotion(s) to take seriously is hard to say. If you're with a woman who crys or dramatizes everything, you will probably never be able to tell. Men (and women too) should look for a mate that is mature emotionally. If you see the other person is full of drama, run the other way! Everybody has emotions and the right to express them, but there is such a thing as going overboard!

Answer 3

I don't think 'misuse' is the right word.

Society has assigned roles to men and women over time. SInce the stone ages, men have, in general, been the ehads of the unit, hunting, doing the brawny stuff, while women specialised in the softer skills.

As society evolved, with the industrial revolution and brawn becoming less important, with emancipation of women bringing women to teh workforce, the roles that men and women play in today's economy are quite similar. However, the roles society ascribes to them have not changed.

Men still tend to have problems dealing with emotions; the strong silent type is still a prototype, and many men still model themselves on that. 'Sensitive' boys are teased no end. Therefore men aren't that comfortable with expressing emotions as compared to women.

Now when it comes to making decisions, especially in couples where there are two parties, a decision can be hard. The weapon women have is their comfort in expressing their emotions as opposed to men's awkwardness in that area. This is the definite advantage that society has made women have over men.

Nowadays more women are startibng to break-away from that role, and argue with men on similar grounds (not emotional); on the other hand, some men are becoming more in tune with their 'feminine side'. As society progresses and gender differences mean less and less, I expect that women's use of emotions to get what they want would decrease. But for the time being, we just have to be aware of the situation.

Taking time off is a great way to allow both parties to cool off before resuming negotiations; not everything needs to be solved immediately. If walking off increases the scene, then just state that you don't talk to animals, and until some humanity returns, there is no point howling.

Answer 4

I think some women do, but personally I dont. I mean it's a sign of weakness to me. BUT a man knows what type of woman he has or atleast he should do he should know when to take her seriously. Most men only give in when they know the woman is forreal and not just using her emotions at a weapon.

Answer 5

You shouldn't generalize because all women are individuals; however, if you feel that your wife is doing this, you should have a talk with her or ignore her when she is acting this way. If you talk with her and tell her you do not feel comfortable when she acts out emotionally in public and she continues to do so, then ignore her next time she does something you feel is done simply to get her way. No matter how embarassing you may feel the situation is, you must continue to ignore her until she is calm. If you give in to her every time she tries this on you, you will make yourself unhappy and this will put a strain on the relationship.

Answer 6

Yes, some women do use emotional outbursts to manipulate and control their partners. I'd recommend that you get out of the relationship. As with all abusive people, the abuse will only escalate, and the next thing you know you'll be getting physically assaulted.

Answer 7

How much of a man's emotions should a woman take seriously? I believe that men and women are like apples and oranges. We feel and think on different levels, that is where communication and "respect" is essential. So get out of your self righteous pity bag and attempt to understand rather than stereo typing women!

Answer 8

No one is a victim in these circumstances unless they permit it. Take control of yourself and learn to be assertive.

It sounds like you attract these types of women. Don't attempt to generalize. Not all women are the same. Only the one's you attract it seems.

You have to remember, you attract people much like yourself. So if you're attracting vindictive women, then you have review your own lifestyle. They react to your behavior. If you're not admitting that, then you will "blame" all women for the rest of your life without ever taking any responsibility for your own behavior.

Answer 9

I agree. straight forward advice from a 34 12 months heterosexual courting veteran: a million. enable them win each and every of the little fights, or perhaps inspire them as being perfect (save in ideas, they are purely the little issues and also you'd be suprised on the benefits this modus operandi will attain). 2. even as they get "too" loopy about - purely smile and walk a touch in the back of them. it really is a silent, non-embarassing thanks to redirect habit and works commonly. 3. educate them that you truly love them.

Answer 10

The advice I've been given in the past is to just ditch the woman if she decides to do that type of public embarrassment thing.
