Is true that naturally women does have a little fear towards men no matter how nice they are?

Question

If this is true,does this mean that this is actually a biological sign that suggested the way females show their weaknesses and respect towards their partners?Is this actually the way they attracted males for millions of years along the history of humanity?Is this why males always felt compationate towards females eventhough they have to risked being fooled by women only for their own goodness?Your opinion please....

Answer 1

I say that I am fearless, I behave fearlessly, and no one scares me. I am. I do. They don't.

But I think innately, I can be frightened because men are larger than me. They will never know this, if I could help it. These feelings also work in my favor. I have to admit male police officers scare me - well, they carry guns. It makes men work harder to reassure me that I can trust them. That they can protect. They can open the doors. I don't mind.

I don't think that fear = respect. That's creepy.

Answer 2

No, this is not true. The fear that many women feel towards men is the product of an opressive culture; think about how rampant sexual abuse and rape are - wouldn't you be a bit mistrusting of a stranger? Males have not 'always felt compassionate' toward females ... or much of the sexual abuse wouldn't happen. IMO, this is a social fallacy and you shouldn't buy into it. Women in our culture are socialized for weakness from birth, men for strength.... it's totally a social thing. Not at all a 'natural' construct. Look at our close primate relatives - do you see that behavior in their groups. Nope. There are some dominant males and some dominant females - much 'cheating' on partners either way .... Your question is mildly irritating, BTW, in its implication of the ancient idea of women as innately manipulative and as temptresses.

Answer 3

Are You referring to an innate, or an acquired "fear" of men? Theoretically no person should live in fear of another. But We all know that that is not the case, don't We? Fear can be the result of many stimuli, such as violence, emotional trauma, propaganda, ignorance or even the simple expedient of vilification for a political means to an end.
Some would no doubt argue that females "fear" because it has been bred into Them. But is that an eidetic memory, or a subliminal reaction to some cultural manifestation?
It has been My experience that most modern Females do not fear Males, but are ,rather, wary of them due to a lack of understanding, and, or a reluctance to interact on a plane of relationship of which They are not familiar.

Answer 4

I don't think it is fear. I think it is a trust issue. Women are fooled by men just as much as men are fooled by women. I think that men are compassionate toward women because we are the sensitive sex, not the weaker sex. There is not a biological sign that suggests females show their weaknesses and respect. I think that is cultural. They are taught to do so. I think many men are attracted to women who cower, because they will have all the power in the relationship. Some women just aren't strong enough to stand up to their man. I am not one of those.

Answer 5

This isn't just my opinion. I can tell you for a fact that women don't naturally have a little fear towards men no matter how nice they are.

Might they be afraid of the husband who goes into fist-waving rages? Sure. They know they can't win if he gets aggressive (unless they land a heavy skillet on his head and kill him, which they choose not to do usually).

Might they watch out when it comes to getting in an elevator with the only other person being a man they don't know? Sure.

Is it "natural" that women would be fearful of all men? I don't think so. I know they aren't. Women work with men, have brothers, have fathers, have neighbors, boyfriends, husbands, sons, etc. etc. If anything, it is more natural for women to feel a little safer around men (but this isn't to say they don't feel safe alone either). I'm just saying that women are more likely to feel safe around most men and not fearful - not even a little.

People are pretty much intellectually and emotionally quite a ways beyond biological hard-wiring for the most part. Humans are not animals, and don't act like them at this point in evolution. Since you brought up biological hard-wiring, though, the fact is that male animals are attracted to the female animal that looks youthful and healthiest. Male animals attract female animals by trying to look like the best looking, strongest, and most powerful male in the group and establishing himself as the "king" of all the other males. This gives him the chance to look for the most attractive female in the group. Since strength and good health and youthfulness tend to go together it is unlikely a male is looking for a weak female.

There are a few hints of biological hard-wiring that humans still have; but with advanced intellect and the complexities of human society (and particularly with higher-IQ people's being even more removed from biological hard-wiring) it doesn't play much role in what human women think about human men.

Any "compassion" male animals have toward female animals is because males only compete with males in order to get to be the leader of the pack. They don't compete with female animals. They mate with them. There's a difference.

I don't know where you get the "risked being fooled by women" thing. Maybe you're thinking about the fact that males can never be certain offspring are theirs - but that's a whole separate thing from any of the rest of it.

My opinion is that you're very young, having been thinking up how you think things are, but you've got a few facts and mixed them in a way that isn't how things are (and then you've thrown in the thing about women being fearful of men no matter how nice they are, which is just not how it is).

Women are attracted to me who respect them, are attractive to them, have the personality traits they find appealing they trust and feel most comfortable with. If they have any signs of having any kind of aversion to men it would be because they have no interest in men they aren't interested in and want to make that clear. They aren't afraid of them. They just know they will select which man they're interested in and give no encouragement to those they're not.

One of the reasons male animals fight is to win the affections of the most attractive female.

I hope some of what I've said gives you some ideas about things to look up in reference materials in order to get a better understanding of these issues.

Answer 6

I think women do have a tad bit of apprehension toward men in general even the nice ones. You bring up some interesting points.

Answer 7

Most of us are a little fearful of those were know are physically stronger and/or mentally stronger than we. The same as you may feel if you are near someone much larger and/or stronger than you. As a woman, sometimes it can feel like I am standing near a bear when dealing with some men. Other times not at all.

Answer 8

I am afraid of cows, horses, and dolphins, because they are bigger than I am. I am not afraid of dogs and eastern black bears, because they are smaller and stupider than I am. I think you should always be polite, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet. Some say life is hectic, to me, life is war.

To Airforceino-I'm afraid I'm not that creative. I belive it originated with the SF who lived with the Montangards in the early days of the Viet Nam war. I think it's fair to say that the Montangards proved themselves, but that's no reason not to have a plan.

Answer 9

Hello Iv, WHY would you say something like this? The only reason that i would be afraid of a man,is if he was abusey Physical and mentally. Where did you come from anyway!!!

Clowmy

Answer 10

I don't think i'm afraid of men, unless he looks like a goon...lol
but i guess i can deal with men quite easily...

It is a fact that men are stronger than women physically but this doesn't suggest that women should be afraid of men...
