Do you think that women are more cunning than men?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

On average, yes.
Due to their disadvantage in size and strength, they learned how to be more perceptive and cunning. That isn't to say they are more dishonest than men. But they are more perceptive and shrewd. They have to use those strengths to get what they want. And it's also a defense mechanism against men who only want one thing.

They can play on men's inflated egos and protective instincts. They can manipulate men into getting what they want by making men think it was their own idea.
I'm not saying that is a bad thing.

Men can be naive where women are concerned because it's easy to see women as meek, fragile and innocent. But behind their disarming appearance, women are smart.

Women are always observing and analyzing. Men are simple creatures in comparison.

If a woman asks what a man is thinking and he says "Nothing", he might literally mean nothing. Women can't even imagine that because their minds are always whirring. That doesn't mean that they are plotting and scheming.

Not like inherently but i think its a muscle you guys utilize more to overcompensate for your lack of physical prowess in comparison to men. whereas guys.. yeah we tend to just be more aggressive.

On average women tend to be better at it but that’s just on average there are women who suck at it as well as men who are very good.

Now, with that being said just because someone can do something doesn’t mean they will if they are genuinely a good person.

Many women pretend to be someone they’re not to use a guy (or a guy to a woman) These are women and men are between narcissists at best and psychopaths at worst. They aren’t people who have the ability to build a genuine relationship with somebody. So what they do is pretend to be who they think the other person wants them to be.

Why do they do this? It could be for many reasons such as money, resources, social status, to make somebody else jealous, sex, among many other possible things. Some people are much more covert then others.

I will say most of these people will drop hints as to who they really are. They want you to know what they’re doing to you in the long term, now they won’t outright say it so there is plausible deniability as well as make up lies and excuses to which they believe that if you’re too stupid to fall for it then you deserve what happens to you. If you’re too weak to stand up for yourself then you deserve it. Many of these people also project who they are that they must use you before you use them. Other times they see good nature and prey on it.

It’s NOT how somebody normal thinks and people with genuine empathy project themselves as well by thinking surely they’re not that bad. Surely they have something going on that’s making them this way and I can fix them. The list goes on when there is nothing you can do for a person like that absolutely nothing

I don't think so. In the past yes, because most men probably had no clue how women think. And women are very unhelpful if you don't already know. Women also get an experience advantage in dealing with men over guys the same age, and mature faster during puberty. But today everything about dating is being talked about and exposed. And most women are not cunning at all. A lot of women have self hatred and depression, a lot of women chase after guys who don't like them, a lot of women keep making the same mistakes over and over. Women seem mysterious and cunning when a guy is infatuated with her and she's not into him. Also when a guy doesn't know anything about women. But it's very easy to be in that situation, you're not invested, you don't care if this person stays or leaves. But as soon as the guy is someone who has options and is not easily impressed a lot of women are pretty hopeless.

For a majority of history, they had to be if they wanted to secure not only a comfortable home but a position of power. For generations, powerful women rules through their husbands and helped them in making decisions that affected all the people under her husband’s control. Obviously, depending on the man, you can’t just direct him and expect him to loyally follow like a dog. You have to convince him your ideas are his ideas and he’ll happily go along with it. Women had to be more cunning than men if they wanted to get anywhere in the world, and I have no doubt all those years of survival through clever uses of actions and words still exist in women today more than men.

Berethor · Answer

Maybe, there is a trope about it, women tend to be weak, so they need cunningness more.

RavVid · Answer

Yes. Women plot more. It is evolutionary - women avoid physical violence but seek power through pysch means. Excluding other women or pushing them to the outer of the circle has been how women gain power.

When women have a problem with a woman the second thing they think of is roping men into the quarrel. They don't keep it amongst the girls. They share nasty slutty details on the other woman.

Anonymous · Answer

Even.

Men and women both have roughly the same intelligence so either gender has as much chance of being equally cunning. But women are plotters. Could be thier just thier nature or thier historical station. But a woman will lie to you ALL DAY. While guy generally prefer the frontal assault. So given this facts it might give the impression that women are more cunning but they're not. It's just deception is thier primary weapon. So they probably spend more time honing it.

Yes, in many cases because women are socialized to be less verbose and upfront than men, thus ladies learn to be cunning about their intentions.
