sues_budgie Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Why is it that today good manners and consideration appear to be viewed as a weakness if men possess these qualities? Where I work, there are numerous men who seem to be forever single. These men are kind, hardworking, in other words perfect if you were looking for somthing more long term. On the other hand, whether or not this is spoken about more (I don't know) but women more and more appear to on the wrong end of a violent man. These men often do not work, trample all over the women, control them and in some cases get them pregnant and then clear off. So are good manners and kindness viewed as a sign of weakness for modern men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyBooHoo! Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I don't get it either. I'd much rather have my lovely hubby any day and don't see his kind, hardworking ways as a weakness, I see these as qualities of a good man. I think that you also need to look at the type of women that go for this type of man - see the Jeremy Kyle show for answers! In a lot of cases, they belong together.

cad&abounder Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I don't think that good manners and kindness are viewed as weakness, just that most women are more attracted to men who are perceived to be exciting and dangerous, even when they are totally misguided. Nice bloke comes in second eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sues_budgie Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Perhaps the policies of the last government gave the 'violent and irressponsible' male a greater opportunity to spread his wings. Perhaps one good side effect of the benefit cuts, is that women will be forced to think carefully about who they go with and who gets them pregnant. Maybe with less money being thrown about for the feckless, men with qualities such as being hardworking, kind and considerate will become viewed as 'real men' once again - i hope so. Men who care for their women and look after them, not give them a punch in the face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Is this true in general or is it just true of the women that you know? I don't know anyone with a current or abusive partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidgeon Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 They think they can change them. Then they divorce them because they are bored and have affair with another rough un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I dont know any of my female friends with a violent partner, if I or any other of my mates knew they were, we`d be round to get to her out, and him through a window. If however you mean the sort of lad who likes a drink with his pals, a swear, and dosn`t shave everyday, then yes, thats` probably more attractive than some bloke who dosn`t leave the house, boring, and a bit clingy.

Cyclone Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Swearing and not shaving aren't the opposite of boring and house bound. One is just a sign of being a little but dumb and the other is a bit scruffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
