MEN OVER 30 who have been divorced: How do you feel about 'man haters'?

Question

A friend who was hurt badly by her ex has become this hard-shelled woman in self-defense (guys call her a 'man-hater'), but I know she is really like a hurt child, and would do fine if the right kind of man coaxed her back into allowing herslef to be loved. I have known men who seek out this kind of woman to nuture, and others who 'run, don't walk' away from this type. Which type are you & why? Explain, and then tell me if your parents had a good or bad relationship in addition. I am testing out a theory, thanks.

Answer 1

I have known this type of woman before and I agree with you that they usually just need to meet the right guy to soften their shell. It seems that a lot of women are hardened to the dating scene because of past relationships. My wife certainly was not a man hater but she had been in some very bad relationships and wasn't very trusting when I met her. It took time and understanding for her to open up to me and not be afraid of having a relationship. We did a lot of talking and it took time as I said but now we have a great relationship and I am thankful that we met. I come from a home where my parents fought all the time and ended up getting divorced after 25 years of marriage. I think I learned alot from growing up around so much fighting in the home. I knew I didn't want to live like that so I looked for someone that I could be open with and really talk to. While growing up in a negative environment, I guess it helped me learn what not to do in a relationship.

Answer 2

Just to let you know, we self-proclaimed man-haters really do hate men and wouldn't fall in love with one if you paid us. Don't even try it.

Answer 3

hey, everyone is different, to put any male or female into a catagory is wrong, to hate all men is wrong, she did it to herself and its a big turn off for me when a woman acts like that
