Search Results: stronger relationship

Before you all get defensive I admit this is a generalization. Not every woman is more selfish than her male counterpart.

However in general I really do believe women are instinctually more selfish than men especially when it comes to relationships. However there are evolutionary factors at play and let me explain.

There was a time in history that in most cultures women had far fewer options than men when it came to employment, political office, business and land ownership, etc in most cultures. They also had some special privileges (not being forced to fight in wars). However they were for the most part completely dependent on men to protect and provide for them and the children. Also before birth control a woman had to be careful who she had sex with. She could get stuck with the baby.

But women always did have one key advantage over men and that was their feminine wiles and sexuality. They could manipulate men through relationships and marriage to get their needs met. Especially if they were attractive.

Women also developed a more callous attitude towards men who they did perceive could benefit them. At best they would ignore these men but they also had to act defensive and suspicious given that these men could harm/rape them. Although chivalry prevented most men from doing something like that there were always unfortunately bad men out there. Women had to be selfish to survive.

Fast forward to modern day. Nowadays western women definitely don’t need men to survive in modern society. In fact if are a woman you will likely have an advantage over a man if all else is equal. Corporations, political offices, etc look to promote women in the name of “gender equality”.

However I do not believe women have generally evolved out of their “self preservation” selfishness. They reject with less shame. They act much more entitled to accept hand outs. They don’t fight fair.

I believe many modern women just can’t admit this hypocrisy due to hard set evolutionary factors.
