Is being straightforward a good thing or a bad thing?

[Anonymous]

Do men like it when a woman is straightforward with them? She does not hesistate to say what she thinks or feels? I've heard that most men do not like that because they feel intimidated. I just want to know that's all =]

Of course yes, if your nice about it. I wish women have been more straightforward with me in the past. Nice means not being controlling and mean about it. There's ways of being straightforward without being extremely hurtful. Lying in many cases is way more hurtful and mean than being straightforward. And men hate lying and indirectness.

That's what I'm saying. Just like men can beat around the bush, women dislike that. I'm use to saying what it is that I feel or think about you but I won't say it in a hurtful way. One shouldn't lie but many do so because they are afraid of how the person might react to the truth. But thank you =]

Yeah its a two way street about women and men should treat each other. It is more harmful and cruel not to be straightforward. As long as your not belligerent and offensive being straightforward. The truth is the truth about how you, its about how you say the truth. And on the other persons side, they should appreciate you being straightforward and if they care about you, they will respond and try to accomidate you. At least that's what I would do.

I can't see it being a bad thing unless she is overzealous.

i mean its fine to an extent. but if its constant then its kind of an issue. obviously it has nothing to do with intimidation, that's stupid. its just against our societal norms in the states at least...

It's good only as long as it's not used as an excuse to be a bitch.
