What is Wrong with Men?

What is it with men that they seem incapable of answering a straight question? I come across it frequently. It comes in several forms, one being, they say something you find interesting, you ask them a question about it, and it’s like you never asked. They ignore the question, and go on with something else.
Another one: you ask for clarification on something they say to you, and they respond with drivel that has nothing to do with your question.
I wasted the best part of my prime years with a man who played mind games with me. Trying to get answers was like pulling teeth. It was exhausting. Now when a man wants me to jump through hoops to get an answer, he’s out of luck. Been there, done that, no more patience with it.
I’ve met one woman like this, so it’s not just men, but from personal experience, they are the worse.

For me the problem lies in the definition of "men".

I know what you mean.. But to me men treat women as peers. Different... but still equal in every meaningful way.

And to me anyone who acts as you say is a mere male who lacks whatever it takes to be a man.

@ThePerfectUsername Maybe. I think they don’t take us seriously, and/or lack of respect for our intelligence.

Yep. I'm glad you don't settle for less that you're owed. An awful lot do and live to regret it. @Carissimi

@ThePerfectUsername Been down that path already. I have no regrets because relationships are complicated, and I like to remember the blessings rather than the suffering, but it’s the reason my patience is in short supply now. Lesson learned.

@Carissimi More generalizations.

It's a generally held belief that most Chinese people are in china. Sometimes generalisations are true and sometimes they aren't. Get over it. @Zonuss

@Zonuss What is it with you being on my case?
Carissimi · F
@ThePerfectUsername Exactly. Thank you.

@ThePerfectUsername Generalizations are not true. They are assumptions based on misunderstandings. Get over that. 🙂
