How does a woman gain respect from guys?

Question

I jam with bands full of guys all the time, and my last band broke up because I felt {no, I knew} that I wasn't being treated right, so we got in a lot of arguments.

I never want to be so mistreated again, because I'm sick of being walked on - so how can I gain their respect the second I walk in with my mic?

Answer 1

you may just be dealing with the type of men that have no respect for women period, not really anything you can do about that

Answer 2

Only by respecting and loving yourself! the guys you meet out there are the mirror of your inner guy, who probably isn't respectful. Start changing your inner guy and you will meet guys outside that will respect you.

Answer 3

"Why Men Love b*****s", by Sherry Argov was a real eye-opener for me.

Answer 4

You could and have made this an issue of gender, it all comes to too those who know how to respect others. respect yourself, expect nothing less. If a guy is treating like an object and not a subject, then he obviously has low self esteem issues.

Answer 5

Put out. Alot.  Men REALLY respect that.

Answer 6

The only thing I can say to this is that I can't tell how you get respect from men. I respect women so that wouldn't be a problem with me.

BUT

I think just standing up for yourself and being fair when you do argue will earn you respect. At least from those that are not chauvanistic! As for those,you will probably not earn their respect,unless they learn from their mistakes by you not sinking to their level.

I believe you were disrepected,because if you weren't I don't think you would be looking for help here.

Being that you are the singer I believe some of them would be jealous. To that I could only say that anytime you are complimented on a song that your band just played, always remember to say something aiming some of that compliment on the rest of the band.

My friend is in a band and he almost pushes all of the compliment off on the other band members. Even though he is incredibly talented and deserves the most of it. The band respects him so much for this,that his band had been together forever!

Answer 7

To gain respect you must give respect.

Answer 8

At this juncture, you must choose the lifestyle you wish to follow.  The one you're in now has, and it will always be, like that.  Like many others before you have been.  You know this.  Respect is not given.....it's earned. You must do what you must to remain sound of mind and body.  You can not make bargains for blisses, nor catch them like fishes in nets. But she who is honest is noble; no matter her fortune, or birth.

Answer 9

Can't be done immediately.Drop the defensive behavior.
