Why do women think they can tell men who they are and what they want?

Question

If I come on here and say.. "most men like a woman that is this..." The women will come on here and argue "No! No! REAL men want this.. and that..."

Like how do you know what real men want if your a woman? You don't have a clue

Your comparing apples and oranges. Plus you used to be a child.. you were never a man

Answer 1

I've been saying over and over that women are very arrogant and self-righteous about gender and dating relationship issues.

But what gets me is that women will act like that they know & understand men better than men know & understand themselves. Women don't know what it's like to be a man, and never will, and thus shouldn't have a monopoly on male opinion.

As far as the "Bad Boys" thing -- actually, it really isn't a "male" trying to tell women what they want. Many women will testify that they want bad boys. And most men come to this conclusion from firsthand experience when dealing with women -- either they were a nice guy that was ignored by women because she wanted a "bad boy", or they were a "bad boy" that women flocked after. Therefore, men will come to this conclusion that many women like "bad boys".

I just saw on the Today Show a couple days ago, a woman promoting her book about why women like "bad boys". Any woman that sits here and denies that what men say about women wanting bad boys having no truth to it is in incredible denial.

Here are some other books written by women that are "dating experts", in which they promote dating "bad boys":

http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Boy-Can-Good-Girl/dp/0553495097/ref=sr_1_12/104-4697024-5922361?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190154166&sr=1-12

EDIT: Actually, I do have a clue. You don't have a clue and are in denial. A woman that has a hard time getting men has an opinion of very little worth on the dating scene. Women everywhere lust for bad boys and I'm just telling the truth based on cognizant observation.

EDIT: Yep! More brilliant than that last time when you claimed that my SAT Chart was inaccurate since it didn't match up with the charts you posted, and after verification, it turned out that the charts matched, and that you had simply read the chart incorrectly! LOL!! You never did respond after I called you out on it. Truth hurts!

Answer 2

I consider a number of different posters right here, that we do not wish extra appeal than imperative. Many ladies while they are pursuing guys will praise them, and customarily in relationships the compliments will cross each approaches. But customarily in my enjoy if I exhibit an excessive amount of kindness or want to a man, he is taking it as a come on or an beginning. Then if I explain i used to be simply being excellent, I get accused of being a tease or it simply does not quit him besides. It's relatively irritating quite.

Answer 3

It's "Like how do you know what real men want if YOU'RE a woman?"

Anyway, I haven't seen much of this at all. Fortunately I'm able to tell what people want on an individual basis by reading them very quickly. Sex much? Yes.

Over generalizing is bad, mmmkay.

Answer 4

RoVale is right... men and women don't fit into neat little packages. You say all men want a quiet / dumb / poor / "submissive" woman, but that's more of a reflection of your personality and possibly your education and/or class status, and can't really be extended to all men.

And I suppose people's definitions of "real men" are different. I'm sure all the misogynists on this forum think they're "real men," but I see them as trembling little boys insecure in their personalities and masculinity under that offensive and sexist exterior. Not everyone would classify them as "real men." (Disclaimer: I take issue with the term "real" man or woman in the first place - just using it in your context.)

Answer 5

You're right..how can we possibly have a clue about what men want. We no nothing about men because we are women. I guess that means as an adult I know nothing about a child. As a human I know nothing about animals..As a white person I know nothing about other cultures..

The only subject I know anything about is women...Ok your question is so ignorant! Idiot!


I was never an animal or an Afican American...You sound pretty clueless about everything

Answer 6

I don't.

No one knows anyone til they actually take the time to get to know them.

I've known women, as you've described, but i've known men who justify that description too.

Don't generalise - it says more about you than the question does.

Answer 7

Let's turn this around a bit. Why do men think they can tell women who they are and what they want? You're just as clueless. Women are just as much individuals as men are and they don't all fit into neat little packages.

Answer 8

If I say something beginning with "Most men . . . " or "Most women . . . " I usually get that statement from a poll or another scientific study. Other than that, I don't know what most men think about something, nor do I really care to know.

Answer 9

how could anyone truly know what people they've never even met could possibly want?

this goes for everyone, you too.
i can't speak for all women (or even most).
neither can a man speak for men in general.
makes a person look arrogant & presumptuous to do so.

Answer 10

I see your point. The same goes for men trying to tell women the same thing.

You know, about how much we really want "bad boys", and what it means to be feminine.

You're a man, you have no idea.

Some GIRLS may want bad boys, but most women do not. And those books are FICTION, they tell a FICTIONAL story about a girl who likes bad boys (apparently one of them is about S&M). Those aren't books written about the "bad boy phenomenon. And the second one is geared toward high school girls. Sorry, highly unconvincing, to say the least.

See what I mean, more of some guy trying to tell women they're wrong about what THEY want. Again, you have no clue.

EDIT-"Unh, unh, YOU don't have a clue! You're in denial!" Winning argument...absolutely brilliant...lol.
