I've seen some guys with multiple sisters who actually learn from living around girls how they should be treated and they tend to be more sensitive with them, but brothers like mine actually learn to abuse women through having a younger sister they can bully as they get older. I think it depends on how old their sisters are, how many there are, and how their parents overall teach them to act. So I think it can be both.

I say that it couldn't hurt, but I have also seen many with sisters that don't and aren't. I never had a sister and my wife loves how I turned out and the job I'm doing at it (of course she is the only one who really ever made the effort and gave me the chance to show my true self, and appreciated what I had to offer her). I learned to respect women from an early age by just observing how other men treated their girlfriends/wives both good and bad. I also did a lot of self-education on relationship issues, etiquette, etc. and also listening carefully/paying attention to what women were thinking, saying, and feeling. I just began knowing what I wanted, what I was looking for, how I wanted to be as a boyfriend/husband, and what I wanted in a relationship and the kind of marriage I did/didn't want. I was just always determined that IF and WHEN I ever found love with a woman who loved, accepted, trusted, and believed in me enough to want to share herself and her life with me...I would in the very least make sure she never regretted that choice because she would deserve it.😉👌

I have two older sisters. Though it doesn't necessarily make me a better husband, having sisters helped me to understand women better. I also got dragged along on shopping trips to the mall, which taught me patience.

The answer to your question is embedded in your friend's observation, [b][c=#002673]". . . You are so lucky. My brothers just laugh at me or don't care when I'm upset."[/c][/b]

A man who treats the women in his family and circle of friends with kindness, empathy and respect will most likely treat his mate that way. It's not because he's having sex with her, rather . . .

I think it depends on the ages. My sister is 18 months younger than me and we did everything together and it was expected that I'd look out for her. My younger brother wasn't quite as caring until his children came along.

If my sister in law didn't disgust me so much, I might pity her for being married to my brother.

You need to find your own man to reap the same benfits as your Brothers Wives do.
They have Wives now and they have to have the attention first before anyone else.

It does seem to help. They learn how to respect women at a younger age.

You seem to come from a loving family, & that’s great. :)
