Question

Just wondering. Why do men enjoy abusing women mentally and emotionally? What does it feel like?

Answer 1

as a rule women don't respect a "good" man they want someone who is bad to them.  

Answer 2

Just wondering.  Why do woman enjoy manipulating men mentally & emotionally?  What does it feel like?  

Ya, don't lump ALL men into a question (it probably isn't even a majority).  The bigger question is why you are attracted to these kind of guys that you now think it is a good portion of men.  Perhaps you simply enjoy it on some jacked up level.

Answer 3

I don't abuse my wife mentally or emotionally, because she'd kick my a*ss.

But when I was a teen, I have to admit I did abuse my sister mentally and wasn't really fair toward her. How does it feel like? I don't really know but I know that I did. Everytime I would feel like c**p, I took it out on her sometimes. I have my regrets but now as adults, we have a very strong relationship as siblings.

Answer 4

women that would tolerate a man like that are week and dont deserve a good man because she wouldnt know how to treat a good man.

Answer 5

only men who are self centered imature enjoy this. I think any man who does this to a woman  he claims he loves have low self esteem and needs help and no matter how you try tostay to help them they will still be abusive because they believe they always right

Answer 6

"Men" don't enjoy abusing women.  People who love and respect other people feel terrible when they abuse other people.  If you are in an abusive relationship, you need to look within yourself and find out why you "allow" someone to treat you that way.  You control your happiness and well being.

Answer 7

Only insecure men enjoy it. I hear it makes them feel more of a man.

Answer 8

Most men don't.  I don't know what it is like because I would never put up with it.

Answer 9

I'm a man, and I try to treat any lady in my life like a queen. But I think I know the answer to the question. There are certain women that would not live with a good man, but rather the abusers, the bad boys that treat women like dirt are their cup of tea for some reason. The women have a very low self esteem, and think that they do not deserve any better. The abusive guys think this is what all women want, and they think this is normal. My question to you would be, why does so many women seem to enjoy this treatment?

Answer 10

Because they are not really men, just insecure little boys who have to be on a power trip to feel like a man.  They know that more than likely they can dominate a woman. They know that they cannot take on a man so that is the only way for them to feel macho.

By the way, Dr. Phil, personally I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about.

Answer 11

I am not so very sure it is enjoyment as much as selfishness and anger. there is NEVER an excuse for this behavior and any woman that tolerates it needs help as bad as the man that abuses her.

Answer 12

Insecure men do that and it feels horrible, makes you have low self esteem,it makes you feel that you can't do anything on your own without asking him first to make sure it is ok.  I don't see why men/women do this, I would not want my spouse to feel that they can't do anything without asking me first or my approval.  That to me is not a loving relationship.
