Which gender do you think is more trusting. Men or women?

[DermalPunch]

Do you think men or women let their guard down easier?

Men are more trusting

Women are more trusting

[Notcreativenough]

I would argue that men tend to be more trusting because of biological influence. The cost of women engaging with men is far greater than it is for men. Men can engage with several women at a time and not suffer biological consequences of a 9 month pregnancy like women can so the risk is lower to open up. I wouldn't give the same answer if the context was for 60 years ago and the culture that thrived then. Now-a-days society encourages men to open up about their emotions and is more widely accepted further lowering the barrier of risks that used to be associated with teasing or ridicule.

there would be a few ways to look into this but...

but I think are more prone to behave and act like a tribe... which is going to make you more of a follower to other men, and to question a lot less... you just go with the flow of the group to belong to such group...

you sort of risk to trust that tribal mentality and ways of action.. and this can go both ways, good or bad... lol

in general, women tend to make smaller groups among them, and can be more selective and questions things much more

[Sandeeppingping]

Neither, I think men are more trusting though, but in a weird way for different reasons, disclaimer:if we're talking about like the girl that loves I'd trust her with my life, I know how that feels, there is also a guy friend of mine who is that type of guy, he'll say it how it is and when shit hits the fan he's there to help no questions asked. So besides the disclaimer, I believe there are nasty untrustworthy men as nasty untrustworthy women, more men than women in that category, but by far, I've seen naïve women who you can't trust much more than men, which is why I don't trust either but dealing with someone naïve and only sees the good in people in even worse

[JustKindaConfused]

I may be biased on this, but where i do feel like both men and women are almost equally trusting, i feel like guys are more trusting. I feel that i can trust my male and female friends with things, and yet a lot of times, i only really see girls trusting other girls with their problems. This could be just the friends that i have, but its what I've seen so I dont really know.

[boredgal]

as someone who has female friends and finding about them backstabbing me, yeah I trust men more.

[Vegasrunner]

I think the overwhelming answer is men. If you were on the street getting beat up my two criminals and two female cops rolled up w/out guns would you trust them to get you out of that situation?

[Rania05]

I would, it's cops after all.

[Vegasrunner]

@Rania05 That proves my point. Your hipingvthe criminals respect the authority, because you realize the females at face value can't help you.

[Juxtapose]

Men in general are more trusting in my experience. They are confident they can throw down if things go south.

[maximumpower]

Both equally.
Men tend to not admit when they've been hosed.

[cdimples99]

Men in a friendship capacity and women in a relationship/dating dynamic

[turnpost]

Lol I would say the complete opposite.

a lot of women sugarcoat the crap out of life circumstance. Friendship level because there is a lot of
inconvenient realities of women that are just socially unacceptable for her impression. So she is used to lying a lot just to get on with her life.

In a relationship if she loves you she will say the appropriate thing for the time being and she is invested in you. More likely to trust as she has invested in you and if the guy fails the girl is punished way more severly.

For guys its dead simple. Lets be friends.
For guys in relationships. Lets F. but if I get bored with you then beware of how the person copes.

[Jennz6]

Women of course…

[DermalPunch]

Really? I guess I'm just cynical.

[Jennz6]

I just trust women more

[DermalPunch]

I see. Can't say I trust them much either. Lol. Men take women play the long game and sink you.

[msc545]

Men are - stupidly.

[DermalPunch]

Do you think it's because they are socially conditioned to be risk takers? Or just stupidity.

[msc545]

Actually, it is a neurotransmitter and hormone problem. You want to have sex so badly that you ignore all the giant red flags.

[DermalPunch]

I can get behind this somewhat. I find a lot of dudes know what time it is with a woman and just kind of manipulate and manouevre around her.

[LimitedBenefits101]

Easy answer MEN

[kay1315]

None

[turnpost]

You dont even trust yourself lol.
