7 Misconceptions Men Have About Women

February 13th, 2012 - By Julia Austin

"Woman putting her hands up"

Men think they’ve got it all figured out—why they’re winning the game of attracting women or why they are going home alone again from the bar. They believe they know their strengths and their weaknesses. They try to leverage what they believe are their strengths and suppress the qualities they believe turn us off. But sometimes, they’re just wrong. And the reason we like them—or are trying to avoid them—is far different from what they think. Many men have these misconceptions about what women want.

      Some men need and appreciate a lesson or two. Seems kind of self ish to expect every single partner to be perfect. If you really dig him you two can talk about what you guys like and have better sex.

    Manscape? YES!! I’ve known men who were musty as all get out because their deodorant is sitting atop tufts of hair under their arms, instead of being on the underarm skin, where it will actually work. I’m alright with chest hair too — maybe even a little back hair (y’all can’t help that, LOL), but please at least trim the bush round your mighty tree!! Nobody wants to deal with that musty ball smell when it’s time to be intimate. Must be downright HOT to have a lot of hair down there during the summer anyway . . .

    I love nerds. Love chivalry,
    such a commodity nowadays though , don’t care what
    kinda car a dude drives, as long as it works-don’t want a dude with a car and
    nothing else, I don’t want a relationship with EVERY GUY but if im thinking
    about sleeping with you, then yea lol, I want that relationship..you don’t have
    to be excellent in bed, but don’t disappoint me, give me something to work
    with-I definitely wonder where a guy got all his knowledge if he is excellent
    in bed-i almost feel like he just did the same with another chick yesterday–just like if i was off the hook in bed, a guy would be like-where you learn all this??, must be a lot of practice

    YUP, INTO MANSCAPING
    DEFINITELY, makes it easier to get to work down there…looks and smells better…yea

    I strongly Object to number 7…..I have went on a date or two with a few men in the past where I absolutely was thinking that. Its not superficial to want a person who keeps themselves healthy…if a guy doesn’t care about his health enough to groom himself properly for proper hygien and doesn’t care enough about his health to prevent obesity, heart attacks and clogged arteries then its a big turn off for me and I would assume for anyone. There is a reason that people usually prefer hard bodies….it represents protection, health and longevity. I made sure I was always looking for someone who was just as active as me so that I will have s suitable companion when it comes to raising young active children.

      Sometimes hardbodies represent narcissism and shallow obsession with appearance over character and substance. Just sayin’

    speak for yourself on the manscaping thing.  it’s not a requirement, but it is appreciated. also who the hell wants a man who isn’t good in bed?  i guess there are some women willing to teach.  i’m just not one of them.  they need to come with their own bag of tricks.

    • Idiot

      Because men just magically know what you’re going to like.  Every woman doesn’t like the same thing.  If you don’t communicate you will be disappointed.

      • http://www.facebook.com/RosarioRed Rosario Stefania Scarsci

        I actually agree. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/RosarioRed Rosario Stefania Scarsci

    I honestly do not enjoy chivalry. It’s offensive to me. I don’t mind hanging out and “dating” but 1. I can pay for my own food, tickets, etc. That’s why I have a job. 2. I can open my own door and pull out my own chair. That’s why I have arms. Chivalry really creates a feeling of uncomfortable-ness. I’d rather just not deal with it.

      I never thought chivarly to be offensive but as a way a true gentleman should act. Then again I would never stop a lady from being independent, you got to do you.

       I love chivalry. I’ve grown up with knowing that a real gentleman is chivalrous. I too have a job and earn a paycheck; however, I like being with a man who can treat me and vice versa as I’m not opposed to doing the same.  Maybe you’re uncomfortable because you aren’t use to it.  Allowing a man to get the bill or open your door doesn’t entitle him to anything either —good men know this and foolish men try to use it as a ploy to get somewhere or something.  Hopefully, you’ll come to appreciate chivalry and not find it offensive. 

    • Lovejones654

      You are not use to men treating you with respect.So sad

  • DXTASY

    As a male I’m definitely into the chivalry. Even as a child I always thought it was good manners to hold a door open for a female, heck for that matter I’ll hold a door open for a woman, man, child, dog or cat. If I know someone’s trailing behind me going into the same place that I am I won’t hesitate to keep the door open to allow the person to enter. It’s a simple and kind gesture and part of who I am. Fortunately nobody has never copped an attiutde towards me for doing this. The worst that has happened is the person not saying “thank you” but I never lost sleep over it because I take comfort in the fact that I tried to do the right thing. I say be concerned for the individual(s) who open the door just enough to allow themselves and only themselves in all the while knowing that there were people behind them.

    well, since my initial comment is STILL in moderation…here goes: you DO have to be good in bed.  I’m not expecting you to be like an adult film actor but you at least have to make it worth my while.

  • Mariah

    Uuuuummmm…whoever said you don’t have to be good in bed is LYING!!! Sorry, I mean you don’t have to perform like an adult film star but at least make it worth my while.  Everything else on the list I can agree with but nobody, male or female, wants a wack lover..
