Why do people often look down on girls and not take them seriously?

[Somegirl408]

like girls can't really be cool, they can't be confident, they can't be class clowns otherwise theyr just seen as rritating and stupid. but if a guy does these things he's considered like a king

[Physics-Man]

It's because girls are the more emotional, subjective, "fairer" sex, and this causes people to believe that their opinions or beliefs are charged or dependant on how they feel about something. They'd rather subscribe to a sweet lie than a harsh truth. I've met plenty of girls in college who're like this. They have this belief that the truth has to agree with their feelings, or it's not the truth.

However, not all girls are like this, but most, in my experiences, tend to be. This is how stereotypes arise, and people would rather follow stereotypes than execute the taxing cost of getting to know every individual girl they come across. This is partly why girls aren't generally taken seriously. They're dependability issues.

[ChrisMaster69]

Nah I don’t agree with this.

some of the funniest people at school were girls, a couple were total jesters.

even working the humour has Been stunning and dry lol.

There is also a bit more leeway giving to what a girl can say to a guy at times,

[ChrisMaster69]

@somegirl408 thank you most appreciated

[Katebfun]

It's ingrained in our history. Take male Rock Stats for example he can do so much messed up stuff, sleep with a ton of women, do drugs and be a complete jerk and yet he'll be pre approved by many. Now a Woman Rock Star who does the same things is considered "crazy" a "whore" and many other things just because she wants to express and not Suppress!

[muscularbumblebee]

Because of society.. but sometimes SOME. Girls deserve it. As a female I'm guilty of saying oh it's one of those girls again..

---------I think this is anecdotal to your experiences. Be who you are and own it.

Honestly, class clowns are irritating and stupid regardless of gender. In high school people act as if that is cool, but it's actually usually pretty obnoxious and gets old fast.

"Cool" really doesn't mean much, in the sense of popularity/fitting in. Being a genuinely good person matters far more and "cool" seems to lose value as you get older.

Women can absolutely be confident and it is an attractive quality, and the only people who dislike confident women are insecure and/or controlling people. However, keep in mind that there's a huge difference between confidence and arrogance (which actually typically actually suggests a lack of confidence), which is often where people make mistakes.

People typically enjoy being around people who make them feel good about themselves and who they feel they can be themselves around. Being cool, acting like a class clown, and being arrogant under the guise of "confidence", regardless of gender, are all superficial and only mean anything to those who can't see past the facade.

[pjf1958]

Its directly related to the different standards of morality when it comes to promiscuous Behavior between women and men. There's not one man that belongs to girls ask guys, that has not met a woman who is far more intelligent than they are. If they say differently then they're lying. I've met a lot of women in my lifetime who are a lot smarter than I am. I'm not just talking about white women either. I'm talking about all Races.

[TommyMountainFigure]

It's just social expectations. There are several difficult ones for guys too ya know.
However, and this is the key. Just because society dictates a man and woman's behaviour appropriate, it doesn't mean you have to conform to those protocols. I never have!

[FilmGuy93]

The short answer is that "they" don't. Women can actually be all those things. Other women just make a point of treating each other like dog shit. The only thing I'll say is that it's tougher for women to be the class clown, just because women tend not to be very funny.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Pssh I can be downright hilarious. Check this out.

Pete and Sally begin arguing furiously over
all the numerous differences between
the sexes one day in a valiant effort to
finally end the heated debate if boys or
girls are better. Pete grins and pulls down his
trousers saying "Here's something girls will never
have" Lost for words, Sally goes to find her mom.
A bit later she returns to Peter with her own grin.
"Pete you were wrong! Girls are way better!"
She then grabs her dress and lifts it up proudly.
"Pete, with this, I can get lots of those if I want!"

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Now, if you didn't find that joke funny, I did tell you I was downright funny. So in honor of that, I included a fun little treat that goes down, right starting with the P in Pete. Just go down and right one more character than the line before it. So line 2 would be an L, line 3 is an E and so on. (Remember spaces are characters too!)

[FilmGuy93]

@Ez-Bri-Z Well you did put work into it, I'll give you that. There was a lot of effort to find the punch line there.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

*narrows eyes*

There were two punchlines. The original joke and the hidden one.

Thank you for the effort of finding the hidden one though lmao

[FilmGuy93]

@Ez-Bri-Z yeah I mean like I said; it was a good effort lol. The main joke just wasn't funny. The reason is that it doesn't subvert any expectations. The way the joke reads, you're expecting her to do something shocking to either get a penis or somehow overcome the fact she doesn't have one of her own. Instead she just says "you have one dick, but I can get as many as I want," which is less funny and more just an accurate statement.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Lol why would she get her own penis? Why would you even expect that?

She did overcome it though by saying, yeah you may have one, but I can have more than one if I want.

[FilmGuy93]

@Ez-Bri-Z The entire point is that you wouldn't expect it; that's the joke. What makes it funny is the absurdity of a woman getting a penis to win an argument with a guy. What you're expecting is that the woman is going to find a way to tell the guy that she doesn't need a penis because she has something better, and that's why it isn't funny. I'm expecting you to say that. You make me laugh by subverting that expectation and saying something different.

[Lildiq]

Because you look like a girl. And that means you look like something cute and adorable like a babychipmunk... Don't matter how bad ass or cool that chipmunk acts... People's response to it will always jus be "aww, look how cute it is" jus because of its cute and unthreatening appearance.. you girls are the same... Try to make yourself look like a lesbian with short died black hair and wear a biker jacket... Then you can be a cool guy thug girl who everyone respects

[downhomegirl]

We’re supposed to be pretty, seen and not heard. Being goofy and confident is the opposite of that.

[Anonymous]

Talk for yourself. The guys I ve meet have been nice with me, with respect and not like you said. People mostly treat others epending how they see you are or how you treat them so maybe you should see yourself what your doing wrong.

[FunkyMonkee]

Personally, there's no way I can get out of it!! I have yet to meet a girl that's 6' 9", or taller. If I did, we'd already be well on our way to starting our own basketball team!

[MaelE]

Probably because i'm french, but here, looking down on girls for that is not well seen at all. Usually, girls talk loud, believe in themselves and nobody has anything to say about it.

[Goatmeal]

Men have a suicide rate three times as high as women and no one gives a fuck. Women are taken much more seriously than men in Western societies.

[Friendlybro79]

No one said girls can't be any of those things or get looked down on often. People judge each other constantly regardless of being boy or girl. I wouldn't let anyone tell you who you can and can't be.

[Anonymous]

I take girls way too seriously , i want them to dominate me and humiliate me at the end , i want to be in femdom , you can enjoy that too with me i am very experienced beta

[DiscomfortZone]

I wonder what will happen once you stop living inside a tv show and move to the real world. Would you realize how stupid and crazy all you say is?

[Browneye57]

Uh oh... another victim in the making. QUIT DOING THIS.

[bamesjond0069]

Yup. Sit down shut up and be obedient. Tbh thats the only kind of women that men like.

[Lildiq]

Ain't that the truth

[Yourfriend2021]

I don't look down on girls, they can be who they want.

[Ryfyle]

More often than not you come off as a try hard attention vacuum, and no one likes that.

[Adam_West]

i'm look down on you and i won't take you seriously "somegirl" hahahahha

[Anonymous]

You should block these incels and not all people do thsr. We should not generalize men/women

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Same reason why people often look down on guys and not take them seriously.

[Lildiq]

That only happens to midgets. People have to look up to me. I'm 6'7

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Then that only happens if she's fat. People always have to look up to girls who are just healthy

[Hallo626262]

It's no things that you do you just aren't good at them.

[White_Boy_506]

I don’t do that 😞. But I’m the one who doesn’t get noticed

[Hotboy_booblover]

I always look up at girls with lust... never looked down on any girl yet

[boggboss]

Not sure I have seen this before

[Babygirlsweetheart1]

Its a mans world. I want to be a mans pet.

[Anonymous]

These misogynists hate women. Simple as that.

[tallcuck]

It isn't about who but how

[CubaPirate]

Not everyone is like that thank8

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

shoudn't generalize your own gender

[Brianbrake]

Reverse sexism

[anylolone]

They don't.
