Do some men try to start arguments with women?

Question

for the sake of flirting?

I find this very frustrating as I cordial by culture and nature, yet I find some men demeaning me (NO JOKE). Yes, after they do this I stay away...but I'm curious why this happens.

I am lucky that majority of men are respectful/ professional...I'm just curious about some men.

There could also be a class/race component.

Answer 1

No we don't. I tell you we don't. NO. You're wrong. Will you be told?

Answer 2

no women always instigate that arguement, and expect to let them win it so it get fustrating for them.... just admitt it men are smarter!!...

Answer 3

If you get into a lot of arguments you may want to look in the mirror for the reason.

Answer 4

Some men do, and while it might not work on you, it does work on others.

The logic is this, attractive women get hit on all the time. They become dismissive to these attempts, so men will intentionally say something that upsets them and then walk away. She will then proceed to come after them with the need to respond, reversing her otherwise closed off attitude. From there, he can easily take it back and start up a conversation with her... He is past the most difficult stage, the introduction, and he got her to do all the work.

Answer 5

OVERRULED..

Answer 6

You have the answer in your question itself. Some men may start an argument for the sake of flirting also. You can easily find that by the "lack of seriousness" in there tone if it was for flirtation. If they are not flirting, then you can sense the seriousness as well. I dont see a "class/race component here".

Answer 7

No I don't think this is true - clearly you are out of sympathy with men, and cannot even begin to understand half the population.  And yes, if I am demeaning you, it is probably no more than you deserve from undesirables like me.  Good God, you're the last person I would wish to flirt with!  Not that I enjoy flirting anyway - I much prefer true love where it can be found.

I learned early on that in a professional situation, it is best to think of colleagues not as male or female, masculine or feminine, but as neuter.  Human units functioning within the machine, and therefore worthy of professional respect, all of them.  I make no distinction when I hold a door open for a colleague.

I did have a blazing argument with a feminist Oxford history graduate doing a second degree.  Having just been inflicted with a horrible divorce, where the woman has licence to s***w the man for everything and then gloat over the proceeds with her Women's Group sisterhood, I went for her when she starting spouting the usual nasty mantras over Male Oppression, and she gave as good as she got.

In the college refectory, it was like the House of Commons with argument and counter-argument at full volume and a passion on both sides stopping just short of armed warfare.  People were muttering saying it was inappropriate to have this sort of argument in a college, but that was not going to stop either of us.

The result was a draw - I had to concede that women so often hit glass ceilings and that it was awful this dilemma between children and career as the biological clock ticks in the wrinkles, and she had to concede too that the Law treats divorced fathers particularly harshly.

She also said it was the best debate she'd had since she left Oxford, and was I up for a rematch?

Answer 8

My fiance has admited that he starts fights with me sometimes so we can either have great makeup s*x or so he can leave and hang out with his buddys.  After admitting that, I have started to ignore him when he fights with me.  LOL

Answer 9

all of your questions have a RACE element, what are you hiding, why don't you come right out and say what is on your mind about race

let's get it out in the open, ARE YOU Hating some Race?

Answer 10

men only start arguments due to the fact that they feell intimidated by a female and therefor feel inferer

Answer 11

Most men do it for the sake of flirting. If anything a lot of women start senseless arguments, thats why men often block them out or try and find a different way out because they don't feel the need to do it.

Now theres nothing wrong with a healthy debate

Also I doubt they are demeaning you it might be more of a personal discomfort when met with what seems like a sexist comment/joke.

Best advice...Chillax.
