'All men are the same'. Can it also be said for women? As in ' All women are the same'. Like this?

I agree with you all. It is simply not true.

But then, why do I read this online as well as in real life from women? And not only in my hometown but in other cities too.

Is it some kind of consolation girls use then?

[Sirenboobzilla]

It can be said for both, but it's in no way accurate. People often say this about the other sex because they've failed with a few select people, then suddenly they're all the same. I've dated a few assholes, but also a few genuinely nice guys too. They didn't have much in common other than they all had 🍆's

No, that's not a good thing to say. There are different men and different women. We're all different.

Usually when someone says that it's because they had bad experiences with the opposite gender.

[SnowedIn]

While it could be said it should not because it isn't true -- for either men or women.

[SnowedIn]

Regarding your update: because people are lazy and they want easy answers. "All men are the same" is an easy answer and can answer many ills even if it is the wrong answer.

[Andres77]

If they can unfairly generalize then so can we

[Andres77]

It’s like the fable of “sour grapes”. Or when a guy tries to talk to a girl and she’s not interested he assumes she’s a lesbian. Both are not fair.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Got it. Misunderstandings on both the sides.

[edel19]

No, I wouldn't say it applies on women. Almost every man I have interacted with copy and paste the same exact template. It's like they go some school which teaches them all the same things.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Do women let themselves get influenced by their friends and other internet influencers?

[edel19]

I think people let themselves get influenced when the other person says/does something that appeals to them, they can relate to or admire.
Of course, some people are more susceptible than others.
(Damn the number of grammar mistakes in my comments, no edit option 😡)

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

So, the people you are saying include men only, then?

[edel19]

Of course not, people includes both genders.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Got it. Thanks!

[WhitneySnow]

Both of those are over-generalizations. Everyone’s different.

[whorable]

if girls are saying that yeah it should be the same way.. .. for me i know not all men aren't the same.

[OlderAndWiser]

Saying it doesn't make it true. All men are not alike and all women are not alike.

[Anonymous]

it can’t be said for either because it is simply just not true

[Justneedtokno]

It all depends on what aspect are you talking about

[Anonymous]

It can be said, but it doesn't make it true. I would say more accurately all men have the same tendencies just as all women have the same tendencies. b

[NathanDavis]

both are equally stupid things to say...

[TheSpaceGnome]

Both are false.

[Passing_by]

Both are unreasonable on so many levels.

[Exterminatore]

Yes it can.
