Growing up, what are the biggest myths you've heard on the opposite sex?

[Filthy_Immigrant]

growing up I've always been exposed to a lot of horseshit on the opposite of sex. I find them kinda ironic that I've heard most of them by women themselves. so far they are...

women love and enjoy sex as much as men do

women like nice guys who respect them

that not all women are gold diggers

that women are attracted to personality and intelligence

and the list goes on. if these are the common lies we boys are being fed growing up then I can see why so many incels exist nowadays. however in the other hand other than "all men are rapist and can't control themselves sexually" I have never heard any other myths being fed to women.

oh and before I forget I like to bring up that..

women dont like porn

that penis size doesn't matter

[TheorionMage]

"Pre-adolescent females do not have physical means and aptitude to experience sexual inclinations" and to amateurishly solicit physical contact. The 'Lolita' potential.

At my age of 32 ( I was openly unsolicitedly propositioned to 'take a nap' with a friend's 5 yr old daughter... naively BY that daughter, in front of her mother! ) As she wriggled herself upon my lap... I was sincerely flattered.

For pre-adolescents, Life is ABOUT memorable firsthand formative experiences...
"the FIRST cut (memories) is the deepest..."
Hypocritical Society's promulgated 'timetable' is different than that of physical Nature's inclinations~

[livelylilli]

Are you saying prepubescent girls have a sex drive and a 5 year old you were trusted with was “making a sexual advance on you”? Not sure why such a pedophilic response got superb opinion. A child sitting in what should be a trusted adults lap is not sexual, you are a pervert. this is disgusting.

[TheorionMage]

@livelylilli You of course, are entitled to YOUR perspective HOWEVER the child was devoid of guile, much like when a innocent kitten snuggles up to your hand to solicit tactile fondling BECAUSE it only knows that it NATURALLY 'feels pleasurably 'good'. That kitten doesn't 'read' any societal greater long term connotations and HOW One TACTFULLY responds TO her solicitations leaves unpressured life-shaping learning experiences~ Would you SLAP a kitten for wanting to be pleasured?

[livelylilli]

No I would slap you for putting sexual adult ideas on a child. Children male and female sit in the laps of adults they are trusted with all the time. Are children sitting on santa’s lap at the mall “seeking pleasure”? No they are not you’re making the situation perverse when it isn’t. Unless a child is molested they will not seek sexual things out. I pray you aren’t allowed near children or have anyone in your life with kids. You speak like a predator if you aren’t already one.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@livelylilli I just realized this nonsense and it was not me who chose the MHO, the site did randomly. if you want please report this and see what happens

[livelylilli]

Not blaming you at all. Sorry your question ending up with someone so vile responding. Great question by the way!

[DishLady]

My gosh, there are so many… some from family, some from books or tv… the combination led to a generation of amazingly gullible girls labeled “late bloomers” for not turning in their V-card at age 16. Hmm.


I guess that one of the many myths Id been fed was that a guy would value a girl who saved herself for marriage. As someone who saved herself for marriage… I can tell you that simply wasn’t true. The respect and dignity of marriage weren’t adhered to at all and I was sorely disappointed to say the very least.


Not every guy knows how to respect and treat a woman. (I don’t have to tell you that… you can see it plain as day even here on the site…. There are heroes and there are villains…. A smart girl learns how to distinguish between them … fast … and hopefully before either calamity or commitment to the wrong guy hit you in the face.)

[Filthy_Immigrant]

till this day I dont understand how the fuck people think that saving themselves for marriage will make them holy.

like wtf? marriage is nothing but a business. just because its mostly done at church does not mean its holy and its gonna provide any of us with that happily ever after Disney horshshit live.

if to people love each other they will love each other no matter what, no need for commitments!

[Dongie]

Please Dish, tell me it's not true. Speak for ladies everywhere. That last part is a lie. It has to be.😥😥😢😢😭🤧😪😥😢

[DishLady]

@filthy_immigrant I don’t think I was told “holy” just … you know … keep the cookie jar sealed for the future hubbie, who would love and respect me.. and me him. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't know what they teach girls now besides “hawk tuah” 🤦🏻‍♀️. We just weren’t raised that way in my fam. It’s fine. It is what it is.

@dongie, obviously no one can speak for all women and their experience. Some girls are very fortunate and find a good guy and have a great experience of love right from the start. Others don’t have the same good fortune no matter how kind or virtuous or hardworking they are. It’s just life.

[Dongie]

Tell me about it.🥺😩

[monorprise]

Not true, good guys who want a relationships value virgins knowing it makes for a better more loyal wife. Not so good guys just want sex and as such don't care.

[DishLady]

@monoprise bs. I was the precisely fabled gal who saved herself and the guy I married didn’t deserve a gal like me. Why guys permit themselves to be philanderers but demand a virgin is a double f-ing standard I’ll never accept again.

[Dongie]

Here, here.

[turnpost]

I mean the function is that you stay loyal to your partner and not be hoppin bodies as a hobby as that is both dangerous and emotionally draining for some. Different strokes for different folks.

[Cutegirl06]

It's sad because I was told that boys were no good and should be treated like dogs because all they want is sex. Then I met my current boyfriend who is the sweetest, kindest guy I ever met. He just loves being with me and I feel the same way towards him 💓 He's taught me that all guys aren't after sex that they too believe in having a relationship that's based on mutual respect and not how many times they can get you in bed. I think it's terrible how girls/women treat boys/men in society. Yes there are guys that will lie to women telling her that she's special when the only thing they want is to get her in bed, and then it's so long. It's important for women that we realize not all men just think of women as some sex toy that they just discard after and move on to some other woman that to them is just another notch in their belts.

[FarAway12]

Is your boyfriend single?

[MisterWack]

‘Girls are gross’, ‘All girls like pink’, ‘Girls are weak’, ‘Girls don’t like boys’, ‘Boys & Girls can’t be friends’, etc.

Myths I’ve heard / were placed onto my gender are, ‘All boys are gross’, ‘Boys don’t cry’, ‘Boys don’t have empathy’, ‘Boys are the worst’, ‘Boys only want sex’, etc.

[turnpost]

The myth that "Guys are as simple as bricks and women are super complex", and will have to mind read a girls mind to understand what she is saying.

I feel like this is more the opposite for me lol. I am a lot more subtle in the relationship, I often pick up the clue the girl I am dating quite quick, there very very obtuse and blunt about there surrondings. If anything most of the women i have meet and dated are obtuse or as subtle as bricks and they have a hard time reading me.

((I think the reason why is because I try to be careful to not come off as a creep and there are so many actions to be taken place so my actions are very well thought out or I just dont do it, and so that inaction makes it seem cold or strange or inconsistent with there image of me. ((all of this is to say is that Women i find need to mind read my action more then the other way around))

But a lot of women play coy with certain details and that is annoying asf, that is because they dont want to hurt anyones feelings. Buts its mostly obvious when women do this sort of thing.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

That only professing Christian men are honorable and good, and nonbelievers have no moral compass or ethics... :D Yeah, that's not just a myth, but also a thought-terminating cliche' (says he's Christian = good. End of story). Not that simple, unfortunately... :)

[Tomisworthless]

God wrote his moral law on all of our hearts for we are the created not the creator ie God made us not we made God. Furthermore only does eternal salvation for our souls comes from YHWH the Eternal God and his sacrifice for humanity through Yeshua. Not Buddah, Muhammed, Lucifer, The State, Astrology or ourselves

[TheRealPepperPotts]

@Tomisworthless What is your point here? I'm not sure I follow...

[Tomisworthless]

That one doesn't have to know the God of Israel or Jesus to have a sense of morality. But they are the ones that keep your spirit from destruction. As you know we cannot create or destroy matter, only God can.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

@Tomisworthless True. C. S. Lewis points that out in Mere Christianity "A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line...". A man does not need to profess Christianity to be moral and ethical:

In Ecclesiastes, it is written "... Also He has put eternity in their hearts...".

In Romans, it is written:
"For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel."

It's a daring idea that perhaps those who say they don't believe, and yet do the things that God desires are those who are truly His children. And that those who "draw near to Him with their mouth,
And honor Him with their lips, But their heart is far from Him. And in vain they worship Him,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men"... are not as secure in their faith as they imagine...

[Dongie]

It couldn't be. What need of the cross if we were? And woMEN are part of mankind so I guess if we could be perfect so could they.

[Wallythewalrus2]

That women don't become infatuated with guys. I always thought it was the guy that does the "chasing", does the "stalking". It wasn't until I was in highschool that I realized girls can definitely be boy crazy. Then when I was a young man, I realized girls will chase a guy and make it clear she's interested. That's another one! This myth, "girls play games". Not in my experience. When they're interested, they make it clear. That's all.

[PeachyPie93]

Guys like nice girls.
Men always go for the most selfish, bitchy, two-faced cunts I have ever seen. Then go around blaming and saying all women are like this, because they keep chasing the same women lol.
Basically if you want a man you just need to be HOT... that's it.

[ariadneR]

I grew up with brothers so the myths I did hear, I knew were lies.

When I started dating in highschool, my friends were suprised that I started dating. "How did you start talking to him" umm I went and said hello? And started a conversation?

[mateta_haidara]

Actually

Women love sex as much as you do, but maybe not with you

Women like SOME nice guys who respect them, not ALL, maybe not you

You can be rich and they still might be more into the unemployed drug addict

They are indeed attracted to intelligence and personality, but it’s not the only thing

Many of them like some sex stories and Tumblr content more than porn

Penis size does not matter if she is not into you anymore, trust me

[just_a_potato]

• I thought if a guy made contact with me in any way I'd get pregnant
• School made me believe guys seeing my shoulders would be enough to make them lose control, which rule maker got the shoulder kink 🤨
• Boys in fact, do not go to Jupiter to get more stupider
• I thought penises had a long bone in them (like the femur or something)
• Men are protectors, fake news most of them are not LOL

[livelylilli]

All men cheat.

Men don't love.

Men will fall out of love no matter what.

Men don't like women.

Men will never value a womans mind or heart.

Men will always choose looks.

Men will never love a woman as much as a woman loves a man.

At least I hope these are all false myths!

[DarkLegacy]

That men are more visual then women, it is the other way round

[Tomisworthless]

To date women and have their mothers approval one must be above a certain looks threshold anything less than a 7/10 isn't of any consideration regardless of height career personality and manners

[Filthy_Immigrant]

Exactly we men are only visual tours, cute faces, big tits, and asses. Women on the other hand are not just visual with physique, they also look at the style of clothes you wear the way you express yourself and a bunch of other horseshit that will help help convince them you’re a high-quality man

[Friendlybro79]

I think it's possible you are disappointed that all women don't share a singular set of values that they live by specifically. Not all women are the same which means you're partly right because there are women out there as you describe but it's not all of them.

Good luck not turning completely bitter. Sounds like you're going in that direction and you better believe it isn't going to help you at all.

[LiamJHayden]

Just in my experience:

A lot of women do love and enjoy sex as much as or even more than men do.

Many women like nice guys who are not boringNot even half of all women are gold diggers.

Many women are attracted to personality and intelligence, as long as the guy is not boring.

[idonotlikeyou]

My mom is a GP, so my siblings and I mostly heard the facts. Besides, I grew up with a few brothers, so that any myths would be quickly debunked.

[HighValue]

That women are better with kids. They actually are not.

[Meisdipa]

I was told if a man kiss you then you become pregnant

I actually didn't kiss anyone till 16😂😂

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I thought men were just like Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice.

[PA19062024]

The four you've listed are actually true though. For example, number two. Who on this Earth doesn't like people who are nice and who show respect? You're just a bitter and twisted loser. Women no doubt are put off by your shitty personality.

[MikeTheBartender]

Be a nice guy to get the girls...

Worst thing I did for 19 years.

[Ευδεμονια]

“Be yourself and you’ll be accepted the way you are”. Lie lie lie

[Finchie40]

That all girls’ are cheaters , and none of them are faithful?

[TDDMS]

Women would never lie about SA or rape.

Men are irresponsible with the irresponsible sex when it comes to conception and child rearing.

[MASTER_ISH]

dont know about myth but

as much girls love money that much boys love sex and thats fucking thruth

all girls behind money then all boys behind only sex and vice versa

and thats no wrong in it love what ever u want

[DreamLife7]

That women are smart. The older I get the more disappointed I've become with women. I no longer want to befriend other women.

[RiseofArtemis]

I always think of Ted Bundy. He said women understand women and they hate each other. I think it was this way what he said. And if women were smart they wouldn't end up single or in abusive relationships.

[DreamLife7]

@RiseofArtemis eh not a good argument. Single can go both ways she's smart enough to not settle or she's too dumb to be with. As far as Ted bundy, I don't recall any interviews of him saying that, but I do recall him mentioning how he spots his victims, and based on his descriptions, he usually chose the women that were dumb.

[DreamLife7]

Even when you look at the questions here they ask the dumbest most common sense questions. They lack logic and common sense.

[DreamLife7]

@RiseofArtemis you're single so are you stupid? Like there's no logic in what you're saying

[yulbsari]

That women are naturally nurturing and compassionate...

[RosesandPeonies]

That men are less emotional and more sexual than women, in my life I have entirely seen the OPPOSITE.

[dolemite58]

They’re sugar, spice, and everything nice 🙄🤮

[Tomisworthless]

That women are kind sweet gentle and loving

[Dongie]

WOMEN; can't live with'em, can't live without'em.

[NathanDavis]

nobody said shit like that to me

[Chthou95]

That they're more empathetic

[grega239]

Women are nice.

They are infact not

[Crazzyyworld]

All men are rapist

[LordMadara]

🖕🏽 women

[IloveWinters]

That women hate sex

[robocop666]

That women value looks less than men.

[Fireguy17]

size doesn't matter.
