  • Off the top of my head:
    -That we're always horny and always want sex. Now it's true that we're hornier than women, and USUALLY want sex; the offer is pretty much always appreciated, but sometimes we're tired, or sick, or overstressed, or feel like cuddling, or just aren't in the mood. A guy turning down an offer of sex is not (well, not necessarily) a personal rejection of you in any way; he might genuinely not want it, or not want it at that moment. We may be more sexual than women, but we're not machines.
    -We're also not women. Guys are more (mentally) oriented toward action and action-specific details; if he forgets your birthday, it's because you he doesn't care about you, it's because his brain isn't wired to see dates in the same way that yours is. Yes, it would be good if he could (and it isn't unreasonable to expect him TO) make an adjustment to value what's important to you, but that road goes both ways- you also need to meet HIM halfway.
    -Similarly, if you come to a guy with a problem, he's going to think you want help coming up with a solution. Generally, if you want a sympathetic ear, you're better off going to your girlfriends; if you want a solution, talk to your man. If you just want him to listen, preface it with "I just want you to hear me out here; I'm looking for sympathy, not answers". He should get the message.
    -In fact, in general, if you're unhappy with what he does, he won't know unless you tell him. This isn't him not paying attention. There's a theory that autism is an extreme form of neural masculinization. I don't know how true that is, but there's DEFINITELY some truth to it; if you go in thinking along those lines, it can help.
    -Most men do not get enough emotional support to be psychologically healthy. Something as simple as a pleasant compliment can make not just his day, but his month. But because of the unfamiliarity, spoken compliments are often ill-received; even if he appreciates it, he's not sure how to respond. It'll often go over better if you do something to show him how you feel about him, rather than just saying it.
    -Along those lines, men also like to feel sexually desired. It means more to women, usually, but showing him you're attracted to him by initiating sex yourself will be VERY appreciated. Guys who are more socially traditional may balk a bit if you come on too strong, but that disappears pretty quickly as you get further into a relationship. The realities of human biology mean that it'll usually be the guy initiating, but that doesn't you can't, or shouldn't.
    -Expanding on what I said above, we are, in particular, not DEFECTIVE women; we're something else altogether. The sexes evolved to complement one another: we focus, you multitask. There's a (mostly) well-intentioned idea, quite popular these days, that the main difference between the sexes is body hair. This is nonsense. A woman should have all the chances and opportunities a man does (and vice versa), but few will choose to take them; that the differences between us aren't universal or absolute doesn't mean they don't exist. If you learn to accept them, you'll learn to appreciate them, and if you do THAT, you'll come to see their value. They will, however, still annoy the snot out of you sometimes.

  • We don't need a sexual expert in order to satisfy us. Many women I've seen think they should be very experienced and they think having sex with many man will give them that. Well, for men that actually want you for a long term serious relationship, that's 100% wrong. Only men who are looking for quick sex will really value that woman, but when men use their "serious partner" sight, you're pretty much out of the game if you had a high body count.
    So that's a dangerous path, you maybe enter that mentality thinking it's in order to give your future man the best but you end up being rejected precisely by those who are worthy enough to be men for serious relationships.
    Even statistical studies show that, women who had higher numbers of former sexual encounters tend to have way less long term and well established relationships that those who had a low number of sexual partners.

    • Interesting thanks for that

    • No problem, I hope it helps!

  • Luckily enough, I haven't been met with much sexism, but here's my list of misconceptions I dislike:
    -Men always think about sex.
    -Men only care about a woman's appearance.
    -A women is entitled to hit a man and not expect ripercussions of any sort for it (this extends to verbal abuse sometimes too)
    -A man needs less help/compassion then a women, regardless of context
    Again, I haven't been met with a lot of sexism so this short list only represents the misconceptions I've met and that annoy me personally ^^

    • Point two is true according to the poll I took about online dating.

    • I'm not trying to list things I think are GENERALLY an issue for men, just those that have been annoying to me, personally. Not having such preference (for looks over brains) it can be annoying having to deal with that sort of assumption in some situations

    • By the way, I can't check out your poll since your profile is private. Would you mind sending a link, please? ^^

  • When a man says he is fine, he is actually just, fine.
    He is not a victim of the patriarchy bottling his feelings inside out of the fear that he is going to get called a sissy.

    I think that is the most annoying "misconception".

    • Yea.

  • This is a bit embarrassing but here the main misconceptions people have about me:
    1. That my dick is only 7 1/2" long.
    2. That my dick is less than 5" in cirCUMference.
    3. That I can maintain an erection for only 6 hours.
    4. That my tongue can't reach her cervix.
    5. That I can't support a 90 lb girl on my erection.
    6. That, once impaled, I can't walk around a room without the girl falling off.
    7. That I can't sweet talk a girl's mother into a 3-way when she catches us banging like bunnies.
    8. That I can't guy-talk a girl's father into letting us carry on when he catches us banging like bunnies.

  • Men are simply not the same as women. Period. It's the giant lie of feminism.

    • Feminism is annoying. But the importance from it is we can vote and please we need fem hygiene stuff to be free.

    • Feminism isn't about voting. It may have been in the very beginning, but that is water way way way under the bridge now. And no, buy your own fem hygiene stuff. It's not my responsibility.

    • Cruel :( Should we stop paying your healthcare too?

    • Show All
  • That men are similar enough to have a set of rules to follow instead of treating everyone as an individual

  • If I'm old I don't have sexual fantasies.

    • Lol... I'm a happy guy. And thanks. 😅

  • That we know what you are thinking.

    • If you see your wife silent or ignoring you or sad mad looking I think you'll know. Come back w food flowers genuine small talk prayer all will be well.

    • Talking would be the better thing than just jamming things at her.

  • Many women think of me as a nice guy, it sucks.
    Then, don't they think that I will give special excuses to them if they are women.

    • Give an example.

    • Like, back in school they often saw me as a nice guy who is looking for serious relationship, not into casual stuff , etc. Well, I was definitely silent, but that doesn't mean I'm nice

  • That we're all obsessed with receiving BJs

    • I thought this was so real and true 100%

    • Well I'd rather give oral than receive it tbh
