Gentlemen, do you sincerely believe that the majority of women are money hungry and lacking in charactor?

Question

Is this a sincere belief, and if so, could it be possible that your perception may be slightly jaded and you fail to recognize the good woman when you see them? Are your overall views of women any more acceptable than the belief by some women that men are overall violent, aggressive rapists? Have your preconcieved notions brought you to the point of mistrusting women as a whole?

Answer 1

I would only say that applies to women who have been in a bad marriage. I know several men who got taken to the cleaners by their now ex-wife's.

Answer 2

I don't have a mistrust of all woman. That would be paranoia. There are just types of women that I stay away from.

Answer 3

Molly, it's so regionally-dependent that it's so difficult to generalise (forgive my British spelling).  Clearly, we're all products of our "untoward experiences," but so long as we can get past them, we still have a chance at advancing.

Answer 4

I do believe that the majority of women are money hungry and lacking in character. This isn't a preconcieved notion but one that I have learned over time. I am probably a little young to be jaded and I do try to recognize the good in everyone but I know for a fact that no matter how good I think a woman is or how much she's got my back, the minute I run out of money she'll be gone no matter how good of a person I otherwise am.

I think these views are more acceptable than the women who think men are violent aggressive rapists due to the simple reason that rapists and violent men make up a far smaller number of the population than money hungry women lacking in character. These women judge men based on an extreme minority, I judge women based on a more realistic majority.

Both are generalizations, but I believe the one about women is more accurate. If women don't like being thought of this way then they can change themselves and over time perceptions of them will change.

Answer 5

The majority?  No

Answer 6

I  mistrust people... and I only date women. I've seen way too many people get screwed over compared to the past to know better than get married or involved based on our current society(check out the marriage rates and you will see that a lot agree with me). What really set me off was how many married and taken women have come on to me sexually(not subtle)... and of course, my friend's wives cheating on them doesn't help either. But again, it's people that I don't trust. I don't hate women at all, in that I don't see them any worse than men.

Answer 7

No, well, at least I don't think it's just women.  I think a majority of people these days are money hungry and lacking in character, men and women.  But, like always, there are lots of good people out there, if you know where to look.

Answer 8

The problem is that women no longer bring enough to the relationship/marriage table to make it worthwhile for men. As a result, men have become much more suspicious of the motives of women who want such relationships.

Answer 9

I believe that the number of women that are "money hungry and lacking in character" is DIRECTLY proportionate with the number of men that are supposedly "Violent, sexist, piggish", etc etc etc.

Is that fair?

Because the fact remains that a woman with the looks of Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba can basically cherry pick the men they want.

AND

The fact remains that men with cash like Donald Trump and Bill Gates can basically cherry pick the women they want.

So what does that say?

Does a man who dates fat women only do so because he can't attract Jessica Alba?

Does a woman who dates jobless deadbeats only do so because she can't attract Donald Trump?

Its a difficult nut to crack.. isn't it?

Answer 10

Yes.

Most women do not believe themselves to be money hungry, but they are.

Answer 11

No, I don't think this way.  Well, I think a lot of people are lacking in character, but that's men and women both.

Answer 12

It's their own loss. If they go into the dating world with these preconceived notions of women, they shouldn't be surprised to find that good women elude them.

Answer 13

I don't believe that, however Mike T cracked it analysis wise, even if that is hyper-cynical. Outside of this black/white pragmatism, there are other factors for why people are together or are attracted to one another. Not everyone, certainly not me, wants to live to reductionist principles.
