Why do guys think they know EVERYTHING??????!!!!?

Question

My current bf thinks he's the only one that's smart. Why do you think that is?

Answer 1

WHILE YOUR QUESTION IS PRESUMPTOUS . . . ITS STILL A VERY GOOD ONE.

And there IS an answer. Are you sitting down????

The REASON why MEN "think they know everything" is -->> BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERSTANDING WOMEN, THEY ONLY USE LOGIC AND REASONING TO ARRIVE AT CONCLUSIONS.

Women do NOT.

MEN PREFER TO "THINK".
WOMEN PREFER TO "FEEL".

Men STRONGLY believe that ALL THINGS SHOULD MAKE SENSE. If something is WRONG, or BROKEN or needs to get FIXED . . . they apply LOGIC AND REASONING to achieve results. When logica dn reasoning don't work . . . THAT IS PERCEIVED AS "STUPID".

Where men are WRONG . . . . is that when it comes to WOMEN and "ATTRACTION" . . . things dont always make SENSE. . . . .

- They see women constantly go out with the "wrong" guys.

- A women will stay in a BAD reslationship rather than leaving to get a GOOD one.

- Treating women like princesses all the time does NOT mean she will be ATTRACTED to him. In fact . . . it actually as the OPPOSITE effect. YES ! she will "SAY" she likes it, but it doesn't mean that its the RIGHT WAY to ATTRACT her.

- Women talk to "nice guys" about why her man is such a jerk all the time, but she will NOT be interested in (or ATTTRACTED to) a "nice guy" who would never treat her like that . . . who is willing to fall over himself to please her.

etc.

EVERYONE (including you) KNOWS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE.

When women start to ask, "WHY DO MEN THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING" . . . . .its because there is a GREAT population of MEN out there . . . that JUST DON'T GET IT.

WHY DONT THEY GET IT???????

Because -->> Women confuse them ON PURPOSE.

Yes! Women TEST men in ways that DO NOT MAKE SENSE to MEN. But MEN WHO GET IT are aware of what is REALLY going on.

- Women (expecially very attractive ones) get ALOT of attention from men. They dont have TIME to look at every man who approaches them carefully . . . . so women are practically FORCED into looking for reasons to DISQUALIFY men ALL THE TIME. This does not "make sense" to many men and is thought of as "stupid".

- Men look for reasons to LIKE women. . . . WOMEN look for reasons to DISLIKE men. This does not "make sense" to many men and is thought of as "stupid".

- They DISQUALIFY men based on whether or not he is a WUSSY. She will want to find this out AQAP. If he is FALLING OVER HIMSELF to compliment her, take her out, buy her things, be overly "NICE" to her and is prepared to "do anything for her" . . . . she will PERCEIVE him as a WUSSY who is trying to PURCHASE HER ATTENTION AND AFFECTION and it will almost NEVER mean she will be attracted to him. This does not "make sense" to many men - no matter how hard they TRY - and is thought of as "stupid".

So -- you will notice that EVEN WOMEN (and YOU) MUST aggree that what creates the TRUE, gut-level feeling of ATTRACTION . . . does NOT MAKE SENSE.

But that doesn't mean that MEN ARE "SMARTER",
It just means -->> that when it comes to NATURAL ATTRACTION - and the affairs of men and women - a MAN'S idea of LOGIC and REASON does not WORK.

And -->>>> THAT'S the mistake too many make . . .and it explains WHY they THINK it has ANYTHING to do with being "SMART".

Answer 2

I think it comes from having testosterone running through his body. I am the only woman working with a large company full of guys. They all readily admit that they always think they know better; they always think they are smarter; they have trouble taking criticism or admitting they are wrong. It's devastating to them to think even for a moment that a woman might know more than them or have a better way of doing anything.

Just calmly keep showing him when you know better or when you're smarter. Don't point it out by telling him about it. He'll know, but won't acknowledge it for a while. When he starts asking you for the answer or for advice, you'll know that he has conceded that you might have brains.

Answer 3

Hey! Don't put this on guys. Yes, there are a lot of guys like yours who are blowhards who believe they know everything, but from experience I have dated a lot of women who believe this as well and most certainly believe that they must have the last word in any argument.

Most people who are the know-it-alls have control issues. It is part of their personality. They must feel as they are in control. When they lose it or have to give any ground, it throws them off.

Answer 4

Current boyfriend? He's not too smart is he?

Answer 5

iam a guy and i dont know everything, i dont claim to know everything, i been wrong several times, and ill be the first to tell you iam wrong.its probably his ego, which he needs to work on. girls can be just as smart as guys, and i saw alot of smart girls.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Hahah. Male answer syndrome perhaps? That's like, if you ask him any question he comes up with an answer regardless if he knows what he's talking about or not.

Or just an ego.

Answer 8

we are a product of how we grew up-and only the good Lord can change that to make us a better person
what I seek is in truth and I would never settle for less than Jesus best=along with that a sense of humor, some beauty to behold-yet in love that one becomes the most beautiful on earth, character-to be a person that tries to keep their word, willing to be romanced and loved unconditionally, one that will try and not be angry and never let the sun go down feeling upset, along with a commitment for marriage.
this is what helped me to see it this way=
may I offer a prayer that helped me to know what to seek="Jesus if I am not willing to do your perfect will, change my will so I will be willing to do it." in your name Jesus amen

this is also what helped me, and got me to believe Hebrews 13 "In marriage the bed is undefiled but the others will be judged."
Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath light with darkness and righteousness with unrighteousness.

my help came from above and comforted me through to today=this is what got me from religion to Jesus and simple truth happily=this is how I as a Jew came to know Jesus personally

"Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the mighty God, and the prince of peace." Isaiah 9:6

the answer is still in the salvation of the soul-till then we are on the outside looking in. Revelation 22 "Do not add to my word or take from it or you will get plagues, and never find salvation."

this is how I got salvation-believing the Word of God="I love you, and ask you to repent of your sins (even one lie) quickly. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock if you hear my words and ask me in, I will come in and be your friend." Revelation 1:1=Jesus words spoken from heaven & 3:19&20

so i prayed "Jesus I am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen."

Now Jesus is my Messiah, best friend, and savior, he comforts and keeps me, and His word has become the love letter of my life in Spirit and in truth.

Praying the best for you too, David
