Do women generally understand men better or vice versa?

[Anonymous]

Growing up I always heard that women understand men better than men understand women.

To a certain extent that makes sense. Women usually have better intuition and relationships are a big deal to them. Plus they are usually taught at an earlier age on what traps/dangers avoid with men. Given women can get pregnant and men can’t I understand the parental concern there.

But as I got older I have found that many women do not understand men at all. If they did then they wouldn’t come up with all these radical feminist bs “movements” (metoo a few years ago) They would have the rationale to understand that a minority of men will always be evil. They need to look out (and call out) the true scumbags vs. having blanket stereotyping/discrimination against large swathes of men.

Of course I know most women aren’t radical feminists. But how and why do these people have so much power and influence when most people disagree with them (even if they don’t publicly say it).

Guys do have strong impulsive sex drives and we are taught to be competitive/independent. But most of us aren’t evil and have zero interest in controlling women.

Men are generally more straightforward and simple. When we do act weird and indirect it’s usually a RESPONSE to how women have “trained” us.

You can't say something very basic to a woman like "nope, I don't need any help" to express the idea "nope, I don't need any help" and she will hear something totally different and turn it into a drama. Women definitely do not understand men.

I wise man said this>> God made women to be loved not to be understood.

Some of them could do a better job of being lovable.

Yes, you are right

Neither gender really understands each other or cares to do so.

Men are more rational and level headed, so men could understand women a lot more if women weren't so f*cking complicated, complex, and non-sensical all the time. (Even women don't understand other women!) Men are simple and very EASY to understand; most women just never bother to do so.

So both genders never really "get" each other. Which is a HORRIBLE way for a species to coexist. But here we are.

Many women assume men think the same way they do. When they put mental effort and control their emotions they CAN understand the difference. But still they only care about doing that if it benefits then somehow (e. g. they already like the guy)

[MCheetah]

Yep.

EVERYONE understands men better, because men are straight forward and logical, and therefor predictable. When someone's behavior is governed by emotions, no one can understand them well, which is why men don't understand women and women don't understand themselves.

[Asker]

Guys are generally more direct. No doubt that. But we sometimes we act indirect in RESPONSE to how women act and behave.

For example if a guy saw an attractive woman in a public place. How would she react if he walked up to her and politely asked her if she wanted to have sex? 95% chance she would be taken aback and creeped out. So of course most guys will never say that. Instead they will be indirect by starting with a friendly hello and they are expected to take it from there.

Women understand men better. Men don't understand women. Heck, even other women don't understand women.

I love women but I don't think if I lived to be 100 I would understand them.

Women are meant to be loved and desired, not understood.

Men are dead basic.
