I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Why do some men put up with bitchy, mean women? I can see why women put up with abusive men. Women are under a lot more pressure to be part of a couple, plus men are bigger, stronger, and more intimidating than women. It's more dangerous for women to stand up to men. I've never understood men who put up with abuse.

Why would one be any more "understandable" than the other ?
Men are pressured to couple, too. In some cultures more than others.
Not all men are big. Not all women are petite.
Men ARE likely to be more embarrassed to complain or report it to authorities.
Just like with women, men love their partners and may want to work things out.
Stereotypes cut both ways.
