Answer 2

Hello, I think you must be a boy. A boy that needs to widen your view, guys are deceptive and manipulative too, just not as loud as girls are. Girls tend to talk to much so it's can be more obvious.
hmm Since I am a girl I am trying to understand why you think only girls are this way? If a girl is not in love and she seems to be attracting a many a men, well some women just decide to do a little trading of there time, of wich the men are so desiring, for some kind of pampering from the men. whether it be material things or a trip to hawaii or whatever.
Hopefully as we grow up we learn that you cannot buy love so if you find yourself having to pay for someone time in whatever manner that is. Then honey It's on you with all the info we have about life and love, just in the music thats on the radio, we all should understand when it's real and if we are just desperate for attention.Im not saying you are a bad person for feeling the need to be loved we all gotta have lovin we just gotta.But first and foremost we have to love ourselves, that where true love begins.
You will never get around that one.If we don't learn this as children we can still learn it as adults it's never to late to learn to truley love ourselves and still when we do, deception and manipulation lurke, these are trips you deal a lot less of or at least hopfulley you will be aware and less affected by the people that have issues with honesty those people need to learn to love themselves too. Unfortunetly men and women alike are culprits of these deeds and most of the time they are also lookin for some lovin, but as I said before it starts with ourselves. anyway I am babling.
It's all in how you interprit someones actions.

Answer 3

I think so many girls are deceptive and manipulative because they are in search of a personality that they have had seen someone have. They want to be able to be with those people and when they are with them, they don't realize that they are changing the personality they fell in love with. So, I say that girls are just scared and completely lonely. They also have their moods from a couple "girl problems." Have a good year next year!

Answer 4

to young girls its a game, they may not realize what they're doing to your poor little feelers, or they just dont care

women on the other hand, can be deceptive in a good or bad way. sometimes they hide things from you because they know what you will say or how you will feel about it, theyre just protecting your feelings. Then on the other hand they just want to use you for a certain reason or reasons, those ones really dont care about you.

What about you, im sure youre not so honest yourself. Give yourself time to grow up lil guy.

men and women are both deceptive, I am the master of deception though, no woman can fool me!!!

Answer 5

If you give yourself the right to generalize and call all girls manipultive and deceptive cz you met a bunch of that like, then I will take no shame when I say that guys are selfish and sadists! Dear, everyone has their good and bad sides. Even the real bad ones have a good point. It's always the other person's wish to harm that brings out their evil part, sometimes YOU help other people bring out their worst (and may help them bring out their best). If you are an overly submissive person and you tend to allow others to use you, dont expect may people to take care of you. Most people (even the good ones) will find it easy to take advantage of you at some point of time. So.. if you see that your relations follow a certain pattern, and you usually have the same ending, then I think you should consider how YOU manage your relationships.

Answer 6

We as the human race put blame on particular genders as if at some time were all not guilty of something maybe we haven't done the exact thing what i do know is that we do know some persons of our gender who has done it but we don't want to look at that it just becomes one great big major pity party.So don't blame girls for deceptive and manipulative ways guys have them to it's just that you haven't gotten to that point yet.

Answer 7

Its how you we were raised. I am a girl and a naturally straightforward person, but that was greatly to my detriment growing up, girls have this image that they have to be the best, boys are very....... up front and easy to read, girls are very intuitive and good at reading people, and society has taught us to be manipulative so we are very good at finding your fears, and weaknesses and then twisting them to our advantage, and presenting a perception that we want yo to believe and then prodding you into believing it, its what we were pressured, the saying "kill or be killed" applies to girls very much, thats what it is really like growing up as a girl, boys start manipulating and becoming deceptive from 4th to 6th grade, but by then they are WAY behind the girls who have been doing it from ages 3-5, therefore they really are nothing compared to us, so the reason is because we were taught by other girls, bullying, peer pressure to be that way,

Answer 8

Think about it from an evolutionary point of view. Caveman hunts brontosaur. The woman back at the cave has to make sure he brings it back else her young will starve. Other woman from the next cave has to con the guy into giving her the brontosaur. The first one is manipulative, the second is deceptive but its all the same thing....it goes back to survival. Women spend 9 months being pregnant of which around 3 leave them essentially useless. without these surivval traits they would be screwed royally.

Answer 9

It is a game that both males and females play in order to do what it takes in order to not get hurt by people. People seem cold and calculating, like they only care for themselves, but those seem to be the ones that deep down will show the right person the best of them as long as they can feel that the other person does not want to do them harm. But that is the problem, people play games, so no one knows who's genuine or just playing the game to win at that time.

Answer 10

Great question... i was just talking to my friend at work about this... by the way we're both female.
It's true we are, i think we are competitive in the social world like men are in sports, we have to be the best looking, the smartest, the most outgoing, the whole package,
it is truly in our nature

Answer 11

This problem can largely be attributed to society. Society has the expectation that girls will always be "nice" and "gentle" and "sweet." Society does not consider it permissible for a girl to get angry, and especially, to get angry and direct it towards the target of that anger. And so, for example they sweetly go to all the other girls when they are mad at someone and convince them to hate her.

It is sad that more women can't break free from these expectations and learn to handle anger healthfully. Some books that might help clear this up are "Reviving Ophelia," by Mary Pipher (I think) and "Odd Girl Out," by Rachel (shoot I can't remember her last name and I have a cat in my lap so I can't go get the book).
