I think its girls, men are more open minded in terms of judgement of character, We tend to be just okay with 3 codes of conduct , not a douche/bitch, doesn't stink and cool to hang with = Cool person in most guy's opinions.

Women are perfectionists, they apply that to themselves and are very picky in terms of character, but that depends on her connection and the relationship with her and that person. If its a friend, then she would most likely go with what guys determine as okay for a person to hang out with. (Not a douche/bitch, doesn't stink and cool to hang with).

IF its like dating wise, each girl has their own strict preferences, such as in terms of fashion or taste of music, but there are some generic traits they would prefer , such as tall, not chubby, etc.

Girls,

Mostly because they tend to have to be very observative of their surroundings.

It's been that way for thousands of years.

But I'll give you an example of why one could say that women are slightly MORE judgmental of guys:

Let's you're alone on the street when an unattractive member of the opposite gender walks by.

Here's a worst case scenario thought process from either gender.

Guy: "Damn dude, that girl looks beat. I'd never have sex with that.

Girl: "Oh my god, that guy is so creepy. He's probably like a serial rapist or a killer or something. Ugh, I hope he doesn't look at me. I'd feel so violated."

Girls easily. If you just compare how men treat each other and those they call friends and how women do. Men are a lot more willing to take someone as they find them but women are more interested in what you and everyone belonging to you does for a living, what you drive, who you're friends are, who's in your past. With women its all about social standing and status not so much with men. Men are more logical, you're either an a**hole or you're not. Even look at how girls bully versus boys. With girls its emotional and physcological, cutting deep. Even as an adult the most cutting and disrepectful things that have been said to me or I've heard being uttered have come from a woman.

Women tend to be quite judgmental of one another as well as of men. Perhaps it's because we're better at reading the non-verbal cues than men are (at least according to studies) or because of the way we're socialized, but I think we women tend to be more judgemental. I've rarely met a woman who didn't have some sort of feeling or opinion about a person, guys are more often just sort of neutral. Of course, they form judgements too- they have definite likes and dislikes when it comes to people too, it just seems guys remain neutral more often than women do.

In general, I would say it seems as though girls are more judgmental, BUT that's only because most women are more outspoken about it, whereas men judge and keep their mouth shut, for the most part.

So it's probably men, you just don't hear about it as much because they tend to keep to themselves.

Well let put it like this, the reason we are judgmental is to spot out threats and gauge our competition. So while both men and women are judgmental I think women would win it out simply because they have to be more on guard for potential predators (sexual assault and rapes are often done by somebody they know so yes, they do have to remain vigilant against the opposite gender) and also I notice women tend to be much more judgmental about their competition than men.

Thas not to say men aren't judgemental, definitely are. But from a logic standpoint, since women face more dangers and are so critical of competition, I think they are probably required to prejudge more often out of necessity.

I'd say neither is more judgmental than the other. In today's society, with progressivism and so on, it depends on the individual. A cliche answer, but that doesn't mean it's inaccurate.

I would venture to say that women are judged more harshly, though (by both genders).

xzinax2 · Answer

we all have expectations to live up to which force us to make expectations for others,and that makes us judgemental,it's not a matter of gender,we can all rid ourselves of judgement,and we can all let ourselves judge others brutally. I've recently taken a vow of silence,so I've been doing a lot of listening,and I have to say,i haven't heard one positive judgement so far,only negativity towards everyone,and neither gender is spared nor does either gender spare.

When guys are judgmental its based on reason When girls are judgmental its based on emotion, that's why it seems like girls are more judgmental.  I don't think being judgmental is a bad thing though.

ElijahCynicism · Answer

It can't be separated by gender. There's a more accurate dichotomy, of who's judgmental and who isn't. 'Hips and Squares.' Squares are more judgmental.

Girls, because they traditionally play  a mother's role in most situations, even today, even if they themselves aren't a mother.  The cultural conditioning to pass judgment is still very much there.

hotangel · Answer

there is no real answer I think both are equally judgmental  because some men can be just as  bad as females they just don't aleays verbalize it as much as females.

GENERALIZATION.

This question is completely useless. Unless your intention is to create yet another gender debate on this site.

And I didn't vote in your poll, because you forgot to put a thrid option "neither" in it.

On physical appearances of the opposite gender? Guys. On physical appearances of the same gender? Girls.

That's more of a personality trait rather than being gender related. I couldn't vote for either.
