Do you understand men or women better?

Question

Hannibal_Lecter420 · Accepted Answer

*Women talk a lot more than men* Women for sure. I do understand men to some degree but when a girl does some stupid psychotic shit I can see where she's coming from. I could understand her logic.

I've tried starting relationships with both genders and I have to say Girls are so much more scarier.

With guys it's simple. They've left your message opened relax they're busy. Or they text you in a weird pattern no worries they're probably playing a video game.

When a girl leaves you on opened you know it's either, she isn't interested, you're being violated on a GC, all her friends saw the message and now they're giving her ways to respond.

I remember never talking about sex with my female friends because we were all basically "lads" You can discuss it with "The boys" as much as you want but they'll never understand.

Once I spoke about it with another girl I was thinking holy fuck finally someone who understands.

Women know what women want. Men know what men want.

It's like when women want flowers. The typical male response is why don't you just tell me you want flowers? No! We won't. If we have to ask it loses its' meaning and we don't feel as special. Once we've made it known we want flowers everytime you send us flowers it loses the magic. We want you to realise it on your own and give us flowers. It feels so good getting flowers when you've never told them you want flowers. To us it means oh they thought about us and they did this to make us happy. I feel appreciated and important.

I would have always said women. And I certainly understand my generation and maybe even some past generations. But I'm not sure that I do understand today's 20+ year old girls. Maybe, maybe not.
I understand men well now. Though they still frustrate me at times, and they are less than direct, as always, than men generally claim to be. But I have more curiosity about them than girls today because I've had a lifetime of female thoughts and I'm about filled up. And men are more interactive, more engaging. And I like the differences with men. The contrast of thoughts and ideas. Sometimes this creates too much friction, yes, but sometimes it is tantalizing, to reconcile and resolve.

Your question is too vague to properly answer, as it suggests one measure of fundamental understanding being contrasted.

I understand women very well theoretically, by experience, through intellect/perception. Men I understand intuitively, having lived the experience, and instinctually interpret outside intellect.

To measure which I understand better, to me, would be like comparing apples to oranges asking which is "better"... no definitive answer in comparison of different things.

Men are so much easier for me to understand than women it's not even close. Once I see a guy a few times I know what he's about and he doesn't really change much. But women even if I talk to them a lot I often still feel like I don't know much about them and they're still unpredictable.

VIVANT · Answer

I don’t understand anyone without knowing them and or a great deal about them. I can’t do that simply based on A gender. I tend to understand people quite well when they reveal a bit of themselves. I can’t really say this is greater in either gender.. I can maybe say I understand struggling people better than people with relatively easy lives ( I say relatively bc I understand no life is Simply “Easy“) there are exceptions of course. And I tend to relate better to people not originally from the United States. But this is not across the board.

overall, I understand people fairly well based on getting to know them. I tend to find anyone Relatable on some level, at some point. 😊

Kaneki05 · Answer

i personally get along with women more and say them? Men kinda confuse me and i don't have good experiences generally with men. I know we can never grasp truly either and tbh would ignorant to say so. But i just say women since i don't see really how to be friends with men other than My childhood friend. And some guys i can defo say i respect or like sorta but i just dunno how to be friends with them if it ain't playing on xbox with them lol

elisa_0 · Answer

I mean obviously I understand women better overall because I’m a woman and that’s all I’ve ever known.

But I do understand men in many ways. I can empathize with many of our differences. And also, I grew up with older brothers so I think I understand how men think.

RydiaMagnifique · Answer

Women. There are some things about men I will never understand. I, a trans woman, may not understand every struggle a cis woman goes through, but I do understand a lot of them, especially in cis women who are naturally unable to have kids, single women struggling to find a partner who isn't using them as a fuck toy, women who have been sexually assaulted, and almost every other problem that other trans girls go through. I understand women way more than I do men.

Anonymous · Answer

Men understand both sexes better than women understand either.
Women have trouble understanding their own thoughts most of the time and need others to constantly help them decipher how they are thinking and feeling.
They assume men think the same way they do and when we do something they don’t like or understand, they see it as some sort of violation because we should think they way they do.

Men understand other men. For the most part. The bro code is inherent. (Aside from effeminate males who are broken males and think more like women) we are pretty easy to understand.
Understanding women is really easy as well. If you take the mind of a child and add the need for sexual attention to it... you have women.

sawno · Answer

To me the secret is that men and women are very much the same as far as interactions go. I never noticed much differences that went beyond subtleties in terms of having to understand people. The only real differences are preferences and the ways people present themselves.

jabberwocky00 · Answer

Men of course. I barely try to understand other women, there’s no point. We are either buddies are not but men, they are complex and complicated and I had to try more and understand them so much better in the end

Apope16 · Answer

I think i understand both. perhaps guys more. there is no such thing as understanding women because they dont understand themselves. women do not rationally or objectively understanding their feelings or their reasons for why they do things. They are purely emotional and reactionary in the moment. They are prone to self contradiction in their behavior in life without a thought of reflection.

Rebecka33 · Answer

I honestly understand men better then most women. I understand some women and the things we go through however I've found men are usually friendlier to me in social groups and women are more bullies or target me. So I'm mor likely to trust men and their intentions. However men have hurt except they're more direct and dont play games.

Pulseofsulfur · Answer

Neither. They're both confusing to understand. I've mostly been raised by women. A lot of relatives on my mom's side are women. But my dad's side it's 50 50. So I guess I've got a mixture between more emotional and manly traits. But my parents say that I over react. So I don't know if that's a feminine trait or not

Women don't understand themselves not all but most they constantly contradict with what they themselves say it fun though to see that lol 😂🤓men are straight forward hence easier to understand women are like colors of rainbow you never know which color will pop up

Ifriqyan · Answer

Men seem to often bottle up their feelings which makes it nearly damn impossible for me to "Guess" what and why they're feeling a certain way. So Women.

Jjpayne · Answer

I'd say I really don't understand either... 😂 even similar genders can be just as confusing

ShortCircuit · Answer

I mean, obviously I understand my own sex better than the opposite sex. However, I don't particularly struggle to understand women either. I just don't think women are nearly as difficult to understand as men make them out to be.

BlueScorpio · Answer

Well when it comes to women issues, then yes i can relate but other than that I'm not very close with either sex. I don't really vibe with most people because im kinda shy and get very nervous around people i don't know well.

Women, but this is all on a mind set and experiences.
