I was always told this growing up. I used to believe women understand men better then vice versa. But not anymore.

I believe women understood men better in earlier times out of necessity. They used to depend more on men to provide and protect them. It was important for them to understand men they wanted to get in a relationship with vs. those to avoid.

But in modern times women seem far less concerned about understanding men. Not that I expect them to naturally understand that. But one thing they seem to struggle with is understanding the difference between likeability / attraction vs. respect. Men actually crave respect more then they crave sex, intimacy, etc.

It’s possible to still respect someone even think you don’t like them. It’s about understanding their situation and what they have to deal with. And truly men generally understand this concept far better then women do.

One example is when I broke up with my ex girlfriend. At that point I was no longer attracted her at all. Can’t say I liked her much either. But I still respected her. I knew about her struggles and dreams. That’s why I gave her the respect of sitting down and breaking up face to face. Endured 2 hours of hell (screaming, crying, etc.).

But I don’t regret it. I didn’t fixate on her flaws and chastise her over grudges and things I didn’t like about her to self justify my decision (I’ve had women do that to me when I was dumped). I had enough respect for her that would just add insult to injury.

Women expect marriage. They expect a guy to take a huge risk on them. Because in a divorce the man loses EVERYTHING. Kids, wife, house, the money he has built. The kids always side with the mum. We lose. All a man’s ambitions and goals in the hands of a woman. Yet we live in a patriarchy?


Not only that women demand full freedom. Women are naturally manipulative and cry to trick the guy into doing things their way. Nowadays women don’t date/commit unless they get everything their way, they aren’t agreeable. I have dated I know, I have a girlfriend. They challenge everything and refuse to just compromise where it doesn’t benefit them. Women are stubborn.

So as men we either stay single or accept this generation of women because we don’t want to be alone.
Because they’re all like this to varying degrees. My girlfriend is on the nicer end but still she just won’t be fair on a couple things and I am so logical about everything.

All my life, I reacted to bugs the same way, which is to squash them at the first sight of them. I've only ever let bees go but if they land on me, I don't think, I just squash.

I've had girls when I was young literally cry over me killing an ant, and I'm like "it's a bug, not a dog". Only 1 student agreed that killing an ant doesn't matter.

I have a girlfriend and she got angry with me when I told her of this. She gave the old adage of "pick it up", i am not touching a bug and putting it outside just ensures that they come back in with friends, the next day, making the infestation 10 times worse in hours instead of stepping on it now and calling it a day.

Am I the a-hole?
