Less caring than women? Perhaps just me, but I am of the impression that women are the far frostier sex. Men seem to be far more compassionate throughout human existence than women ever displayed themselves to be. Women, from my experience, are merely cast in the compassionate reliable light for entertainment purposes but are not actually so in reality. I like women, but it is a myth that women are peaches and cream. They aren’t exactly piss and vinegar either. However, they definitely come with sharp objects to cut parts of men’s souls out and have no problems turning and killing their young. I mean, people are so unwilling to believe this of women that people will not convict women of killing their own child/children. At worse they will judge her momentarily insane because apparently peaches and cream would never kill their own.

Women are violent and women can be very sinister and without conscious. Peaches and cream is bullshit. Women are only ‘cast’ as being the gentler. Men are far more caring and long seeing than women. It’s why we men continually create to benefit the greater good.

Guys sacrifice everything for those people they care about. The average guy is far more caring then the average girl. That said, men are more independent than women, thus are not as concerned with image. Men aren’t wired for group think. Men devote themselves to those closest to them, and tend to not care about people that don’t care. Women are wired to be part of the flock. So they always try to fit in and follow. They are mealy-mouthed because they don’t want to be shunned by the group. Thus they tend to throw the fake smiles and meaningless compliments often frivolously. They know how to behave so that they don’t offend anyone, but most of them don’t know how to be truly loyal, respectfulness, and loving.

No not in my opinion. I think women are encouraged to appear caring more than men and in some ways guys can’t get credit from done people for acting like they don’t care while women are more likely to get shamed so there are diff incentives at play diff rewards but I think at the heart of it anyone can be very caring or not caring at all or somewhere in between

in my experience the guys I know who care fucking CARE. I think more women will behave generally caring but I think it may even be stronger when a guy actually cares. Tho I don’t want to make any assumptions, it’s speculative. Also since caring is a feeling we can’t really know who “cares” more just by watching. We can see who performs caring acts but it doesn’t tell us how they feel.

I would not say they are less caring in a universal sense but I think sympathetic woman are more common in my life than sympathetic men. Like a guy will ignore me if I’m sad but listen to me if I need him to fix my sink or give me advice about a technical problem with my computer while a woman will pay attention to me if I’m lonely or scared but ignore me when I ask for a ride to the mall, their area of specialty is on average, distinct but there is overlap and exceptions. The other thing is, I feel like woman understand me better than men because they think and operate the way that I do.

TurboKid · Answer

I think men tend to express their care a bit differently. It's like does the nurse care more about the patient than the doctor? It might seem that way but I think there's a good chance both care a great deal.

The doctor might need to distance himself/herself more from the patient than the nurse though since they might have to deliver some harsh news that the patient doesn't want to hear for their own good.

I think most of us guys are conditioned towards wanting to try to fix the deep-rooted problem like the metaphorical doctor rather than focus on relief from the symptoms like the metaphorical nurse. Both play a vital role but I think, as a result of this, guys will tend to be perceived as less caring and sympathetic. I think it's often unfair though.

hahahmm · Answer

Yes! Because from most women's POV, anything a man does must be belittled OR devalued/minimized. In this way she believes she increases her value & the importance of how little she does compared to him. But from the male POV... we know that if we spent 2 days fixing your car and took a bullet to protect you from a bad guy, you will eventually claim that we don't care or don't love you because we didn't agree to give you something else you just decided that you wanted. So many of us guys have opted out of caring what women claim is important/valuable.

hearvoices · Answer

No, men just express compassion in different ways. For example, say a woman is grieving over the death of her spouse. A woman is more likely to offer her friendship and emotional support, taking great care to ensure they won't have to grieve alone. A compassion anchored by a sense of nurture. A man is more likely to offer financial support if needed or help them with home repairs or errands, things of that nature. Concrete things he knows he can do that will help. Men do not have shoulders you can cry on like women do. A man's compassion is rooted more in material aid than is a woman's. The genders are just different that way.

A mother is more important for the survival of a child. Back in the caveman days, before modern parenting, women were the child-rearers and men were the hunters. If a man was harsh, that was useful in obtaining food for the family. However, if the woman was harsh, the child was in danger, since it was completely attached to her for its needs (breast milk, cuddling, etc.).

Studies show that babies who are hugged less die sooner. So a lack of nice mothers was dangerous, especially in the caveman times. So mothers evolved to be nicer. Some men were nice, but less because originally, they were less involved in parenting. Parenting has changed, but our brains are still wired for the caveman days.

Men generally do not use emotion-driven reasoning as much as women. We also generally hate having unnecessary drama in our lives and will actively avoid it, given the choice.

I think that women are more emotional so they seem more caring, but their emotions/caring changes quickly. They are more open about caring.

A man is usually is less emotional so they seem less caring, but if they care then their caring is usually absolute. They are less open about caring.

Bklynbadboy12 · Answer

Nope we care just as much as women do. We're just taught from birth to suppress it we just hide it better that's all. Men are taught all the time to not be emotional but we're human so we're very emotional we just don't show it that's the only difference between men and women where their emotions on their sleeve men we hide it away so you don't know exactly what we're feeling

loves2learn · Answer

As a generalization I would say yes. Women are genetically designed to be more nurturing. That doesn’t mean men can’t be caring and nurturing. It’s just like men are hard wired to be visually stimulated by the female body.

A_Bell · Answer

Yes. We women care a lot, about ourselves. I kid, but the women caring thing is over-rated. Men have shown me much more real concern than any women (outside my family).

SamA_nold · Answer

No, but in certain cultures there are higher pressures put on men not to express emotions, so they may be used to hiding their feelings and working with a facade, which can make them seem impassive.

Cathy7734 · Answer

It seems to me that it's equal. Everyone seems desensitized about things that are happening in our culture.

Leavesbound · Answer

I don't think we care less but I do think we are not nearly as skilled at showing how we care as women tend to be.

ohshee · Answer

It depends on what you talking about even tho we all have the title of being called a man we are all different and see things different

Berethor · Answer

Men tend to be tougher than women, if that what you asking.

InfobotLives · Answer

Yes, in general we are, we are less empathetic than women.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I think we care in a very different way. Women seem to care about someone's current state while men want to prepare someone to prosper even when said male and female caregivers aren't around to help.

Anonymous · Answer

The stereo type is that women are the carers and men are the protectors. The reality is that both care, just in different ways, and sometimes about different things.

Property_Of_Jocker · Answer

On average, yes. But it's obviously not 100% true. Some men are very empathetic just like some women are pure psychopath.

jasco · Answer

no not really, we care. We simply don't show it the way women do.

JustMe62 · Answer

I think women are more caring in nature, but men and women can both be caring, maybe in little different way.

drexel420 · Answer
