Are modern men scared of women?

Question

Honestly, yes, not physically, but it's better to keep a distance from random women nowadays. I am not from India and here fake rape, and domestic violence cases against men are skyrocketing. Over 50% of the claims against men are proven false upon investigation. Most of the time they are to teach men a lesson after breakup or extortion of money, defamation.

Government data shows in India women have three times more sexual partners than men, yet they make Indian men seem sexist. Most women have princess syndrome (except the very poor) and treat men like crap as there is a shortage of women thanks to a generation of female foeticides. Actually, in most cases, they were initiated by women (husbands and mothers).

A few days ago there was a shocking video on news portals that a guy belonging to the Muslim community was killing a girl in an open street in Delhi but no passerby helped her. This may seem extremely disturbing but can't blame other men for not helping anymore. Any cases involving girls are a huge problem for men. I, myself helped one friend during college with her alleged rape and trauma. It turned out it was a love triangle case, for which I had to go through much trouble for helping her. I will never do the same for any random girl unless she's my girlfriend.

I don't think any men are simply afraid of women, but marriage, and blackmail. The more you have, and more invested you are the more you can lose. If you get to the point of being comfortable money wise you have to worry about people you've been with coming to tear a piece off. Blackmail, false charges, a maybe baby.

I just won't live in any state with (p) alimony. That is the most ridiculous thing in the world. To break up and expect to keep the benefits...

Women can wreck your life so thoroughly with so little effort, and if you win at the game, it's seen as something horrible. Like when my first marriage ended I got money out of it and was seen as a villain. If she had ripped me off it would be normal.

100% it's easy to see why so many guys don't want to be involved with women. For me there was a good while where I would only get involved physically, in places I rented under a fake name so I never had to worry about consequences.

We get manipulated, shamed, ripped off, and to not play the game is to "not be a man".

I think a small group is 'scared' because they're shy, but most aren't.

Men are "scared" of things we can't manage, such as tornadoes or our out of control Communist government. You can prepare for them but when they hit, all you can do is survive them. Modern women are not like those two. There are manageable risks, like the scorpion or rattlesnake you run into or the land mine you know is probably there. You learn where the first two might occur; in your shoe when you are camping or in a dense thicket when you are walking in the woods or in an open field in a combat situation.

Modern women are like the second three. You know you can get stung, bitten or blown to bits and you learn to avoid encountering them dangerously as manageable risks. You learn to know the warning signs and conditions where the risks lie. That doesn't mean that you avoid modern women. It means that you do a threat assessment when you meet one who interests you.

You listen to what she says and watch her body language and gauge her appearance to determine if the possible benefit outweighs the potential risk. Given modern conditions, you have to rebuff your own self-blinding appetites to learn what she really is. All this means that men have to engage in critical thinking rather than allowing fantasies to deceive is. We aren't scared of women but we understand the risks.

There has always been a small percentage of men who were scared of women, and there still is. But the thing that has changed is that a lot of guys aren't interested in trying to compete at the very highest levels for money and status just to be able to date, so they have simply resigned themselves to be single.

They're not interested in being in a relationship where they are constantly competing with their wife at home - they want PEACE at home, and most women today don't know how to be peaceful and don't care to learn. Thus, a lot of men aren't interested because they know they won't get the things they value from a relationship.

Feminists love to label this as men being afraid, but most aren't afraid, just uninterested. They've done the math and didn't like the results, so they are sitting it out.

This is like asking men if they are afraid of 8 year olds, then asking them if they are afraid of 8 year olds with loaded pistols. I think you would get different answers for each.

I am not afraid of women, but I am afraid of women armed with the biased US legal system, and every woman in the US has that huge advantage.

The legal system is completely biased against men, and in most cases men have no chance against women in Family court, and no prospect of a fair trial in Criminal court despite a lack of evidence when a woman accuses them. Feminists have weaponized the legal system against men in the US.

This is why most men refuse to marry, and many men refuse to even date women. The ones who say things like "I will pick a good one" are kidding themselves in thinking they can guess accurately.

It sure seems like they are scared of woman. But society does nothing to empower men these days, so I guess i can understand it... but at the same time what are you going to do.

We do not uphold positive male role models; society kills all our hero's. Cancel culture being what it is.

Scared... no.

I've only been scared of a woman once, and that was because I asked her to leave my house, and she sat outside my home for 1 hr making phone calls. I was scared of who she was calling, not of her though.

What I am though is just kind of tired of them. Women expect a lot, when they give very little in return. After you date enough of them, you kind of get tired of it, and realize they aren't that great. Kind of like grown children. lol

I think many younger men are. It’s because society teaches younger modern men to be scared. Many younger modern men are beta males who have little to no masculinity.

Glad I’m not a modern man. I’m old school and that’s what I look for in a woman too.

RavVid · Answer

I doubt 100% of men are scared of 100% of women but from what I am hearing a lot of young guys are taking the view girls are more trouble than they are worth. And older guys like myself have no intent marrying them.

If a reluctance to engage with a woman on a long term basis is 'scared' then a significant number of men are scared.

There are mainly 2 reasons for men being scared of rather than attrazied to women.

They may have been exposed to chemicals in the water.

Or they believe they have been exposed to the chemicals in the water, and we know that the placebo effect is powerful.

TallAnon · Answer

I think people, and probably mostly men, are just confused about social interactions nowadays.
We get some much more information about everything on what to do and not to do and it's mostly conflicting information as well.
We end up not doing anything and just distracting ourselves with entertainment.

Jltakk · Answer

They're scared of a system that sets them as the guilty or stupid party prior further investigation. He'll scared isn't the right word. More like "ashamed" and "dejected". This hurts not only men but good honest women too because what they are left with is the consequences of those that yell the loudest, per se. I say this as an outsider and a spectator to a game I'm forced to witness and cringe at.

I don't think the majority of either women or men are afraid of each other, they are just sick of all the BS and extraneous effort it takes to maintain a positive relationship.

Ask Harvey Weinstein and Donald Sterling if they're afraid of women. I think both would tell you no. But it's clear being being rich and powerful does not give you license to do whatever anymore. I think both would agree with that. So do men fear women? No but the best analogy I can give is dating you to be like rabbit hunting. But now in the modern sense the rabbit has a gun as well. So guys have to be aware of that and protect themselves.

Being annoyed is not the same as being scared. I'm annoyed when someone comes into a bar covered in piss and shit and vomiting all over the place. Doesn't mean I'm scared.

I'm not afraid of them. I just don't like them. Same as terrorists that I spent a long career fighting. Not fear though.
