Women are much more insecure than men. do you agree?

Question

I always notice how women feel threatened by the presence of other younger and beautiful women. They feel jealous, hatred and start acting in a bizarre way (flashing, acting cheap....etc) to get attention.

what do you think guys?

Answer 1

Women have been trained to believe that their appearance is important while men have been trained that making lots of money is important.  I have truly seen a very similar reaction by men when in the presence of other men who make a ton of money.

For example...women get married and fear that as the years go by their husbands will leave them for someone younger and prettier.  Men sometimes worry that their beautiful young wife will be swept away by some rich guy because he can't provide the things that he can.

Anyway, my point is that all people are insecure.  It's just different things for different people.

Answer 2

An interesting question, have a star. The great divide between men and women's thinking interests me. You say women threatened by other  women who are younger, more beautiful etc. Who says they are more beautiful? A womans idea of beauty will not always be the same as a man's. Because men can be quite stupid in these matters they will often equate beauty with sexiness, and the two are quite different. I married the inside of a woman, not the outside which is constantly changing - not always for the better. An interesting woman is often not the sexiest or most attractive.

Answer 3

YEAH!! its true. But were always the cause for allll there problems, right?

Answer 4

Yes some women are insecure but so are some men.  I was hanging with a group of couples and some of the men were checking out the young single women and their partners really didn't care.  Their theory is he can look but what are the odds this women would let them touch... However one of the men in this group was instantly jealous when a better looking man came into the room and he should it.  So I guess that insecurity is a human condition and not a general gender issue.  I think though that you are good at spitting out random illogical generalizations about stuff.

Answer 5

im not so sure.i know two very strong,resolute,successful women who worked their way up from hard backgrounds and are both confident,pleasant personalities.on the other hand,i know a guy who comes from money,spoilt ,arragant,used to being on top,the' number -one son' so to speak,yet hes the most shallow,jealous,vain,mean person who feels threatened by anyone who has more natural talent than he and does his upmost to be-little that better person by bullying,snide remarks etc,anything he can to get attention.hes a ********.hes more insecure than any woman i know.i dont judge people on gender.one woman i know,with rank and decorations,has more 'balls' than alot of blokes.Shes a fighter.and,a MOM.i dont believe in stereotypes.

Answer 6

Well of course they are more insecure. They are bombarded constantly by media portrayals of "beauty" which no real woman can ever live up to. We've heard the stories of other women whose husbands leave them for something younger and sexier (ie: JOHN MCCAIN)....

You're d**n right we are insecure. The average woman doesn't feel beautiful because she is supposed to live up to fake images, and compete with women half her age.

I'm only 23, but my husband had better keep his eyes in his d**n head when we are older.

Answer 7

yep...im almost 30..poor me...gosh i wish i was just like the 18 yr olds these days! ( no offense to the 18 yr olds who actually have brains and decency)

i mean..( in whiny voice) how come i cant be on girls gone wild making a complete fool of myself...whyyyyy?!!!

( rolls eyes) please...not all of us are like that.

oh and ( ahem) Poo poo is it? call me fat..and i will just agree with you.

yes I willsay that there are times i am rather insecure with my looks....id say....20 percent of the time...the other 80 percent...i dont even think about it.

Answer 8

I disagree. Women and men merely show it in different ways.

Do you imagine men never show jealousy? What planet do you live on?

Answer 9

I disagree with you. Yes, overall I think women do openly display insecurity more so than men do, but it is just their open display that sets them apart.  Men often seethe at the thought of their significant other being surrounded by eligible, attractive, powerful, popular, and aggressive men.  And I think men engage more often in violent actions as a result of their jealousy, sometimes misdirected towards their mate instead of the aggressive male.

Answer 10

Men are just as insecure. They're just not as open about it.

Answer 11

Yes

Just see all the ways that they want to become a man.

Answer 12

I agree there's much more pression over women looks than men's looks.

Answer 13

I agree. If you call a woman fat, she'll probably go cry about it. If you call a man fat, he'll probably laugh about it or come up with a witty comeback.

Answer 14

depends on the person. i believe men are better at hiding their insecurities, but are just as insecure.

Answer 15

no :-)

Answer 16

Men are just as insecure, if not more so.

They show their insecurity through anger, extreme jealousy, attempts at revenge and so on. Even acts of violence for some of them.

Personally, I think that's worse. I would rather deal with cattiness than overbearing jealousy and violence any day. Lesser of the two evils without a doubt.

Answer 17

that is so true,they cant just get mad because someone sexier than them walks by,if ur ugly ur just ugly and you need a rope and a chair

Answer 18

That's because women want to be romanced, have an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and be a beauty to some hero (her man). When another beauty walks by and catches our man's attention, we feel like we have been abandoned. This is because while man was created in God's image as a warrior, women were created in the image of God's heart. God strives for our love and is said to be a jealous God (no other god should be put before Him). So if you are with your woman when another woman passes by, be sure to give your woman more attention. What we want most is someone to be on our side through thick and through thin. We don't want some weak guy who goes and chases someone else because he can't hold out on his own woman and her desires.
