why do men have different family values to women?

Answer 1

That certainly is a very open and ambiguous question. Tho I think that alot of what you are asking can come down to how they are raised. Men are socially conditioned to believe that they should be willing to do anything to provide for their families, this means that they aren't always going to there for the day to day raising of the child. While women are conditioned to be the nuturer and kiss away the hurts. Now then the changing concept of family values says that these roles can be reversed and are in many situations (tho for some reason they are called non-traditional)

Answer 2

I feel that men look at family values, relationships and child raising very differently than women.. What is important to a man is less important to a woman.. and vise versa, I am divorced 13 yrs with a 14 yr old son.. The most important thing to me is that my son (he lives with me half the yr on a week to week basis) grows up with good morals and standards, know the difference between right and wrong and and respects people around him. Education is also a very important part of values.. The more you know the easier it is to make life decisions, of course this is all learned and taught at home.. My ex ideas are very different. who is going to pay what, I don't want to look like a bad mother, how can I use my son for monetary gain.. We were married and our son was planned.. I caught her sleeping with other men and divorced her.. So my answer would be it depends on the person. I set a very high standard on values, family education, etc even respect for your mother even tho I have no respect for her what so ever.. The ex on the other hand only thinks of herself first and everyone else come second or third..

Answer 3

Women started being responsible when they were little for the simple fact planing with dolls taking care of her. Some men are still living in the past because they were the ones in charge now women can do as much in the house as out and some are intimated by this. And what they said held Lot of weight. What I'd is just let him know that times hasn't' changed and baby keep up work with him not against him cause we all know woman are MUCH STRONGER these day's! H just hasn't caught up with time.

Answer 4

This is a good question ; I guess not all men; I have raised 3 sons; I always taught them to stand on their own 2 feet; be respectful of women etc; family values , faith etc but now that they are out of my house , married etc; they hardly call me ; bother with me ; don't go to church ; and have less of a family bond; could be rebellion for all the years at home and maybe someday the foundation will resurface; it is surely not how I tried to raise them; when they lived at home ; they were better feeling individuals ; maybe now they got lazy and leave it up to their wife so the wife should say ; you call your family and invite them to dinner; you pick out your families' birthday card and presents - good question

P.S. - so how they were brought up isn't the issue ; it is what they do as independent adults - they are on their own and make their own decisions; can't blame Mom now that they are no longer under their roof; easy to blame Mom but you didn't live at home ; can't beat something into someone who isn't interested. It is not the home but the heart where these things live

Answer 5

I wish you would have been more specific. Our values are borned into us. I have a feeling the tendencies of the male race date back to the earliest times of our existence. As do the female values. Our nationality's and respective cultures also come into play. I believe it is possible to find similar values in men and women but the rule of thumb is that opposites attract.

Answer 6

Social conditioning. If they were conditioned properly, they would have the same values.

Answer 7

Not all do it is just a matter of how they were brought up as a child.

Answer 8

They shouldn't really. Depends on the person, I guess.
