Do women tend to use deceit instead of physical force to get their way, as opposed to men?

Question

Please give no hate-filled answers. I am asking for factual observations rather than biases. And I would much prefer answers based upon personal thought and experience than just emotional reactions from people who really do not understand the premise of my question.

Answer 1

I do tend to be a little manipulative. But the majority of men I know are just as apt to be deceitful as opposed to being openly aggressive. I'd say there's not much of a correlation in regards to gender. I do however, think in this day and age there is a huge correlation between passive-aggressive behavior and socioeconomic status.

Male traits (Manas) according to
Hindu Upanishads:
Manas is the component connected with reason. It is a
slow acting component of the mind. We know that most of
the people are quick to act on desires, but are slow to
learn something consciously. The working of Manas can
be termed as the rightist or positive thinking part. On
the contrary, some philosophers say that such a method
based on reason alone is a 'mechanistic view' of
thinking about a problem. Manas is the conscious
component of mind which grasps of the essentials, tries
to solve the problem using simplification, and provides
an abstract model. Manas means reason, logic,
synthesis, and rationality. The nature of Manas changes
with each and every perception and it's understanding.
Manas helps a person to speak correctly and to do
complex mathematical calculations. Manas is connected
with conscious thoughts like doubting, examination,
foresight, interpretation, common sense, general
structures, coherent ideas, holistic approach,
planning, tactics, strategies, ambition, jealousy,
sacrifice, cunning, morality, disciplined systematic
thinking, enveloping thoughts, craving to do some
physical work, duty-mindedness, synthesis, combining,
ethics, and the like.

Female traits (Chitta) according to
Upanishads:
Chitta is the component connected with
intuition and emotion. Modern psychologists say that
passions have the same limitations of senses as they
tend toward immediate emotional discharge. Chitta is
the quick acting component of the mind which can be
termed as leftist or negative thinking part. It is
called negative because some psychologists felt that it
separates the received information into pieces,
contains unintentional and contradictory ideas, and
lacks internal organisation, inner consistency, and
concrete solutions. On the contrary, some philosophers
thought that this is the 'idealistic view' of thinking
about a problem. Chitta is connected with instincts,
urges, impulses, desires, imagination, sentiments,
passions, caring, pleasure, exploration, unconventional
ideas, moods, insight, superstitions, immodesty,
analysis of details, concern about particular features,
capacity to find novel relationships, unrestrained
expressions connected with body or mind, molding of
past experiences into new constellations of meanings,
creation of artistic, poetic and musical works and the
like. Seeing a good work of painting or listening to
music of one's liking will set waves of emotion in
Chitta. It helps us to imagine things in new ways. It
is known that lighter side of life like fun may contain
silly and ridiculous situations. An artist is said to
go to the extremes to divorce himself from
environmental constraints.

Answer 3

Women can't use force and only really bad guys would use force. What men do is use logical debate and bribery to get their way. Women tend to use emotional manipulation more often.

Answer 4

the more civilized we have become the more deceitful and intelligent we are meant to be...both of male and female....female represents yin and male yang as two opposite forces...however, both of male and female have become more yin than ever before....they tend to think more and plan more...as a result, they'd both become more deceitful...but female would be more manipulative than male, especially in their personal relationships...

your talking about physical force by male seemed to be out-dated as nowadays male have increasingly employed their intelligent mind to earn credits instead of physical force...so that's why our civilized people everywhere has become more anxious, depressed, fearful and nervous as confronted alot of pressure in our daily lives...

Answer 5

I don't think so - I think men lie more than women, probably because they still cheat at a rate slightly higher than women. Anyway, I'm a terrible liar, so I don't even try it anymore.

Answer 6

They used SEX (or withold it) to get their way.
