I find that guys who are close to their mothers and/or sisters tend to be particularly compassionate, loving, and especially protective over the women in their lives. This can mean female relatives of any kind, daughters, friends, girlfriends, wives, etc. Any woman they value and consider important to them, and sometimes the 'damsel in distress', whether they know them or not, might evoke similar feelings of protectiveness. It might extend to women who are important to their friends as well, out of loyalty to their friends. That may or may not be indicative of their attitude toward women as a whole, and varies greatly from man to man, I would assume.
On the other hand, being so close to certain women their whole lives gives them that little inside peek at how women think, how to handle them, and in some cases how to manipulate them. Such as situations where the guy is looking for a quick lay, and doesn't really know or care for the girl in question. He might know exactly what to say and how to act to ensure he convinces her that what he wants is indeed what SHE wants as well. How the girl might feel about it later is secondary or not even a thought, because she's not one of those 'important women' and he'll likely never see her again anyway. But were another man to treat a woman he cares for in the same manner, protective anger is likely to flare up, lol.
And of course, there are guys who exhibit both behaviors in varying degrees, who are neither close to their mothers nor have any sisters. I'm just speculating, and the above situations I described greatly resemble the mentality of my boyfriend, lol, who is close to both his mother and his younger sister. He has a great sense of family loyalty and protectiveness in general, but it's particularly noticeable with the women.

I probably wouldn't say they're any nicer than a guy who doesn't have sisters. I do agree that they're usually better at understanding girls though. And if they have younger sisters (or younger siblings in general), from my experience they tend to be more mature. But it varies so much that it's hard to make a real generalization.
I have never really thought about that, but maybe it would make sense. Because they know more of what girls go through and all. So it can be possible. But it depends on the guy too. If they have a decent relationship and all that can be factors that play a part of the outcome.
I don't know, my sister was always a complete bitch. I'll never forget how she stabbed me while I was talking with my mom while my sisters TV show was on either. I just hope nobody ever puts me into an MRI because I couldn't dig out the metal tip of what she stabbed me with.
Parents always did everything for her while I had to work for what little I had, she would get 300 dollars clothing allowance a week, cars for her birthdays, big parties, vacation trips with her boyfriend all paid for by my parents.
Maybe that's made me afraid of girls, which is why I've never had a date, but who knows.
oh course,i have three older sisters and I'm the youngest and only guy in the family.
and growing up with my sisters has shown so much to me,like the struggles they go through,unfortunately I saw how hurt my sister was when she got cheated on like growing up I learned how NOT to treat a girl and I'm very grateful of that.
i have so much consideration and sympathy for women,and its all because of my family.
but yes I do agree[: lol

Guys who have sisters and are also nice to them, as well as nice to their mothers are generally nicer.
My brother is a great guy, and he's had me to pal around with. He's like, 4 years older. I have an anxiety disorder so I'm a classic over thinker, and he deals with me really well. He's honest and straight forward but understanding, and is the same way with my mom.
I think men with sisters tend to relate to women better.I don't think its a matter of necessarily having sisters but guys who are around girls more (cousins, friends etc..) usually are smarter in dealing with girls. I have no sisters but I get along best with female friends. I don't tolerate sneakyness however from guys or girls
If it's a younger sister, he learns some stuff about girls while he's taking care of her; but he has an older sister and argues with her all the time, then he can have some prejudices about women. But it depends on also personality being gentle or polite, I've met polite men with no sisters at all, but they had to figure out about girls too late. I've also notice, guys who get along with their moms are nicer too, can understand women better.
I have 3 of them, but I wouldn't really describe myself as nicer or more polite than the average person. I guess growing up with sisters just gives you a lot of insight as to how to handle girls.
My sister was so terrible to me, that it makes any woman seem like a saint in comparison. She was so bad to me I actually ended up in a mental hospital for a while. I won't go into the details. As a result maybe we do think more highly of the women we date, if for no reason other than you will never be that horrible to us.
It might make them more understanding to what women who are more their age are like, but doesn't make them nicer.
I wish I had a sister growing up. Would help me understand girls my age better. Instead of them being mysterious or me putting them up on a pedestal. Plus I could bugger my sister's friends.
It makes a difference, but it doesn't make men nicer.
does that mean that girls with brothers are usually nicer?
I'd agree with that :) they'd have a better idea of how to act around gals and how they behave ^_^
No.
They just come off that way.
Boys who have sisters usually know how to manipulate better.yes because they grew up with girls so they know how to act
No. I'm an only child and I'm nicer to girls than most people I know.
