Could a guy's mean behavior towards a girl be motivated by seeking a reaction or attention, and would he stop being mean if she didn't react?

Well if he's being mean he's either doing it because he thinks you're weak or he's doing it to try to prove his masculinity to you LOL or he's doing it to you because he's never been around women before. And he probably doesn't have any friends so he doesn't know who or how or what to be or how to treat anybody

But there comes a point to where you have to say enough is enough no matter what he's doing it for you have to stand up for yourself

There's a couple ways to go about it I think the first way I would go about it is just stop one day look deep into his eyes and say dude how long the doctor say you're going to act this way and then just walk away

With doing that he might show you his intentions or his motives right then and there just by his reaction or what he says

But if he's doing it just to get a reaction out of you he's fucked up in the head and that means he's a bully

And once again I would ask him to how long the doctor say you're going to act this way
There are people out there in this world that are just the lowest they hate themselves they ate everything they hate everybody and they want that reaction from you because then they got out of you what somebody got out of them when they were growing up for when you're a little bit younger they want to bring you down to that level so always be smart about it and never go there you have to do it smarter

Like I said there's a few different ways to go about this but I wouldn't suggest any of them except for the what I said unless you have some friends with you

Men are motivated by Freudian behavior. They subconsciously will do what they think will improve their odds of getting sex.

Some guys think being mean and aggressive will make women more attracted to them. Sadly many (particularly young) women mistake that as strong masculine energy when it actuality it’s often masked deep insecurity.

Do NOT fall for that bs. Just don’t. Call out his bs. If you are too scared to do that then just ignore him. But never ever give into any advances he makes on you. No. Don’t reward bad behavior.

Also don’t automatically believe has “turned a new leaf” if he acts uncharacteristically nice. That’s just typically “push and pull” asshole manipulation.

This is why every girl should grow up with a brother, you figure out this shit before preschool 💀 Immature guys seek attention. They get it by being ripe assholes. It's a way of proving their masculinity

I do have a brother, but we didn’t live together ☹️

Sounds childish, that only happened to me when I was in HS. It’s a turn off for me.

Depends on a lot more than that question provided. Specifics may be needed and in the end the motivation is his and his alone. As a general rule I think a male being mean to a female is FAR more likely to be rooted in insecurity, self-doubt, or frustration than some veiled attempt at courting her attention. A**hole is a poor flirting technique.

no and no we men are not like that in motivation. if a guy is a jerk then ignoring would not cause a jerk to stop. i heard the theory in school and refuted it in one minute.

[Monalisa77]

ignoring works for me!

Mean people sometimes just seek a reaction out of whoever they're being mean towards. It might not have anything to do with if the man's yelling at a woman or vice versa.

Also it could be they're just being an asshole.

Could be, doesn't mean it is. Define "mean". What is he doing.

[Asker]

He snatched from me and he fun made of me. He tried to shut a door on me on purpose.

[Asker]

He’ll laugh at me for no reason

[Opinion Owner]

Well if he tried to shut a door on you unprovoked then he's an a**hole. It sounds like he's be mean regardless of what you did.

[Asker]

I never did anything to him and when he first seen me he was rude.

[SeaStorm1]

some men will be mean and other times is not.

[Jmmmfi4]

YES DEFINITELY
