What drives you nuts the most about either your own OR the other sex/gender?

[Lionman95]

What makes you angry the most about men or women?
Is there anything that you don´t like about their character?
(No I´m not talking about feminism, incels, MGTOW...)

It drives me nuts when ANYONE insists on being treated as an equal partner in all things, when they do not contribute to any single relationship equally... but has opinions about everything and think they have some degree of control over your choices.

When they exist.
That's both genders.
Pisses me off. I hold a grudge.
Granted it usually goes away after my second cup of coffee in the morning.

First two things that come to mind...

That females, so often, refuse to acknowledge the cultural privilege of them not having to ask guys out, expecting guys to make the first overture and put themselves out there, on the line, emotionally, being proactive and risking their egos when it comes to relationships. Unless the guy's a totally insensitive player, it hurts just as much for guys to risk, emotionally. I think it's really nasty of some women not to acknowledge this, and fall back on "tradition" or "it's normal", or now, all the myriad other justifications for why men need to risk, and proves themselves. Sure, some guys just want sex. And they lie and obfuscate their true intentions, to get it. But throwing all guys into this pile, treating them like they don't have feelings, or aren't risking anything emotionally, is just not fair. Don't be rude or cruel to them. Don't string them along if you know you'll never be interested in them romantically, and stop pretending that girls are the ones who suffer more in dating. Everyone suffers.

On the male side, it's frustrating that often men turn their pain into anger, and so a lot of the valid complaints and criticisms they have, come wrapped in this angry, blunt, incendiary language, which they feel is justified. And if you try to get beneath that, to their pain, they sometimes just lash out even more. These types really need to make a commitment to speaking in constructive, productive ways, so that their often times valid points can be heard. Because there are those of us out there who will hear them, if they speak respectfully to us. Then I'm all ears. I don't want to fight. A lot of guys want to fight. (Some justify it. Some call it "debate." But it's a mud-slinging, personal-attacking rant.) I also see fellow men berating these guys, saying they're losers, they haven't tried, they give up too easily, blah blah blah. There is finger-pointing and lack of accountability, yes, but there's some truth to their observations, and casting them out, ignoring them even more, is not helping society. People need to learn, and it's mess af. But I've seen many men change, on GAG, and try, even the ones who lashed out and looked so angry and ridiculous. Sometimes being heard and acknowledging some of the criticisms is the point at which they start to calm down, and stop being so angry.

Very true. About guys being angry.

You got a point about that. A small but still unacceptable minority go full blown incel and have women on blast 24/7 on incel Reddit forums.

But a lot of guys are just normal guys who would have been happily married in a different time era. When a man gets married and has kids it often gives him purpose in life and he changes his priorities and outlooks. It’s good for them (with the right person).

But marriage rates are way down and infidelity is up. Not to say it’s all the woman’s fault but women do file for divorce twice as often as men. I don’t have any statistics but I wouldn’t be surprise if they initiate most break ups. This ties into this romantic advantage women have and too many abuse.

So men feel powerless. We weren’t meant to be powerless. It’s a horrible feeling and men usually express their emotions in anger (because that’s the only emotion we don’t lose face over). So that’s why you see lots of angry men.

I confess I’ve been that guy a few times. For example I had one ex girlfriend who ghosted me after 9 months of dating after a minor argument. Never heard from her again. For about a sólid year I had much less patience for women complaining about dating and sometimes lost it. But after some healing I see that accomplishes nothing. You can argue strongly and effectively without losing your cool.

Men are hormone driven and it causes them to act recklessly and wrong

The victim mentality that most females are indoctrinated with from an early age.
