I've noticed on Yahoo Answers that men will answer....?

Question

...all the questions about sex and women answer the questions about relationships. Do you think this is an accurate assumption as to what each sex finds more appealing/important in a relationship?

Answer 1

I don't think it's an accurate assumption. It may be your perception, a derivation of self-fulfilling prophecy. It may be that the men who respond to these questions are more inclined to respond to those involving sex. It's not accurate to assume men as men are necessarily more interested in "sex" than "relationships." In my way of thinking, your question reflects a prevalent male stereotype, and some men may have a vested interest in perpetuating it. Depending on your perspective this can be a positive stereotype, like "All Asians are smart." Some may brush off the question with a flippant "Boys will be boys" type of excuse or perhaps even blame women for asking, a la "blame the victim?" Perhaps this question was intended to be only cutesy. I expect the responses, if not the question itself, will likely reinforce the males-as-infernally-sex-obsessed stereotype and generate some congenial joking. I'll be interested to see if anyone connects this stereotype explicitly or implicitly to cultural domination. The majority of men want to be perceived a highly sexual, and male sexuality is inextricably linked to male sociocultural power. So this question, and its responses, will reinforce male sociocultural power, boo-yah.

Answer 2

Not necessarily. I know a lot of men do exactly what you are saying, and you will realize the quality of the answers they have to give. At the same time though it could also be used as a wake up call for both men and women to see what the other sex feels is important in a relationship. Men may brush off the importance in general of relationship issues (non-sexual) until they get on here and read what women are asking and vice versa. One interesting thing to me is that it seems like there are more women asking sexual related questions than men.

Answer 3

No, I answer a lot of the questions about sex and some of the questions about relationships. I never answer the questions about children because I think children are stupid!

Answer 4

Not exactly, but you do make a good point. Of course there are men that like to answer "relationship" questions/issues, but sex is what "sells most men". Its all in the delivery/appeal.

Answer 5

Funny...........I see a mix of both answering both. Would LOVE to see examples of what you're talking about where ONLY men answer the sex questions and ONLY women answer the relationship questions.

Answer 6

Not all men and women sweetie... I am a woman and answer them all, as I notice a good mix of men and women answer either side of the questions here.

Answer 7

I see males and females answering questions about both, although it's not surprising that perhaps more women reply to relationship issues and men to sexual ones...we are wired differently.

Answer 8

I don't know what the correlation is but studies have shown that in couples that have affairs, men who were cheated on want to know about the sex aspect and the women who were cheated on wanted to know the emotional stuff, like if he loved her. definitely interesting.

Answer 9

I do believe that. adult men are normally extra witty in maximum all components with the aid of nature besides. females have so lots extra on their minds in that they continually have yet another interest to anticipate 24/7. i understand I do.

Answer 10

No. I answer both if I can. You must be going to both as well if you notice a trend, so I think you are thinking too generally.
