Why are so many young men frustrated with women?

We often hear that a lot of men are frustrated and angry with women.

I really want to hear why exactly you're frustrated.

This is not meant to be an offensive thread, I really want to know the exact reasons. Get it off your chest.

    I am a mature man and I was the same when I was young. But I wasn't frustrated with women at all. I found it extremely frustrating trying to understand what women wanted from a man. One woman would say this and another would want that, and yet, another couldn't make up here mind to become happy. Some women don't want to be happy with a man. They just want to control him or change him into some famous macho movie star.

    I never pretend to behave like a macho man nor did I ever treat women like dirt. I was a very quiet well spoken young man who didn't play silly games to get my way. Yet, no matter what I had done to get to know someone it never worked out. The more I tried to have a good healthy relationship with a nice women, the more I got resented and berated. That's what made me so frustrated.

    However, I am a better person for it regardless of whether I had a bad relationship. I now realize that it was the result of lack of social skills, my level of emotional intelligence, and the inability to express myself as a man. Most men are afraid of being intimate with women because of the fear of feeling vulnerable, and not labeled a homosexual, loser, or even a coward.

    Also, I believe that most young men today don't have good role models anymore. There is no support and guidance in society. There are far too many deadbeats, jerks, and sleezebags who use women as a sex object. Blame all those violent male orientated action movies that depict young men as tough beer drinking louts, who use their fists ( not brains or reason) to fight against authority, or anyone that stands in their way. Some just pick a fight with anyone they perceive to be weak just to prove that they are men. This occurs in most gang related movies.

    Frustrated With Women

  • 6 years ago

    I will be honest with you woman .. it is partly some women´s fault, but more so it is just nature that is to blame. Each and every man might have his own reasons for hating women. So I´ll give you mine which may be the same as many other men´s reasons. When a man, especially a young man sees an attractive woman ( Again more often a young attractive woman ) he will instantly feel a very strong desire to possess her. As I said before, hormones are to blame for this. But how a woman acts and dresses has a lot to do with it too. So if a woman becomes difficult, obnoxious, condescending and/or simply rejects the young man all together then he will feel frustration .. sexual frustration. And each and every attractive woman he comes across will arouse him in the same manner and yet may not even be interested in him and so he has to suffer the continuous sexual frustration throughout his life and so forth. You have sooooo many answers to read here that I can understand you may not even be bothered reading this one at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You want to have sex, the worst consequence for you is a disease, and you don't understand why the person you are attracted to you isn't attracted back, as if simple proximity somehow equaled sexual availability.

    The frustration and confusion almost always begins much earlier and only becomes more pronounced in early adulthood simply because the added responsibility of being an adult, while still basically not having a significant amount of positive or teachable experiences, means you've got even more social obligation attached to you without necessarily gaining any distinct advantage.

    Apply this to the average young man meeting the average young woman who has passed through an almost entirely different set of social conditions and circumstances and its a wonder young people get together at all. Thank God biology has such a strong instinct.

    When I was 21, I looked at girls as sex objects. But luckily I was a shy guy so I didn't go and mess the things.

    Now I am 35 and still single. I think if I marry someone, I will be very affectionate man than most men. Because I have those qualities in high degree in my mind.

    Everybody has good and bad. But the thing you said about new generation is because the dirty NWO agenda and its Zionist media, Jewish porn industry, Zionist film industry and Zionist political and economic system, Zionist wars around the world etc... that shapes the society in general.

    Feminism, Gay rights are a part of NWO too. Women are kind, caring, beautiful... that's why a man attracts a woman naturally. Feminism was invented by Khazar jews to destruct social and family structure. Women swallowed that lie :) So we have lot of suffering lonely people who are child abusers, drug addicts, rapers etc. **** the Jewish NWO. We would have a better world if there was no cocas as mountains :)

    Frustration generally comes from repeated failure through lack of understanding.

    Frustration at an entire category of people is ignorance, which is what I see as the root of most if not all -isms (see homophobia, misogyny and friends).

    Why do people choose to judge entire groups based on limited information? (See:Stereotyping) It's a heuristic, which might have some merits in simple situations... or it might have done at previous points in evolution.

    e.g. a sheep things to itself: "I've seen wolves eat 3 of my friends, I should stay away from wolves, cus they'll almost definitely eat me." - to make a crude analogy

    It might even work in some cases with humans... but I tend to doubt it and I'm not going to try and concoct an example here, I don't wanna be at this for hours.

    Why is stereotyping a crappy short-cut to judging other people? Because humans are ridiculously diverse and complex, so much so that psychological and social sciences are pretty much based on accepting this fact, (don't let some journalists or writers convince you otherwise).

    Behavioural statistics are supposed to be taken at face value and in the context of an experiment, experts can extrapolate, infer and predict from this information. Crappy journalists tend to focus on details of their interest and interpret things in a way that suits them.

    back to the main issue.. I suppose if you squint I could still be mistaken for a young man, why am /I/ frustrated with women? That's a leading question I object. I'm not frustrated with an entire gender. How could I pass judgement on a group of people of which I haven't even met a percent of a percent of (not even close).

    If I was going to point a big finger of blame at something though, I guess I'd also choose the mass media. I've seen so many films and tv shows that covertly advocate problematic ideas about relationships and gender identity, heck it's not limited to fiction..

    A media conspiracy? maybe but probably not. It's more fundamental than that, It just comes back to ongoing use of long outdated behaviours, and behavioural short-cuts. Not everyone sees them as problematic, or cares enough to change them.

    Frustration might be a tad bit generous . I prefer the term "tedious". I guess there are those that took women for granted and because of this, more women are becoming independent (hmm, I question using this term). Because of these spastics, the women wear the ring on their finger as a sign to say, "I'm not seeing anyone and I don't want to". Alas, twas the plebs that were greedy. Whether I'm right or wrong.....it really does not matter, the underlying fact of the matter is more and more women are becoming reluctant to make someone happy who without knowing, may very well make that particular lady happy.

    If not, well then f*ck the system.

    Source(s): Reality, not to mention a certain heartbreak.

    Not all, only a few, they don't allow me to be a woman - they rather treat me like a woman-child. They enjoy telling me what I think, how to think, what's the appropriate way a woman should think. They also confused mother with feminine and woman. They think my role is a mother - that is the 'job' of the woman, when that is incorrect. Since I will not cease to oxygenate blood, survive, flourish or exist without impregnation, I can conclude that my purpose is not meant to only be a mother and cater to the means of nurturing and children. Mother and woman are not synonymic. They'll also take the sick woman - then command her to be well. (e.g) why don't women do this or that, why is all the pressure on the male - woman tries to change this, it flares up and the male rejects, and rather take care of business. Demanding useless women - then humiliating / shaming them when they are useless. (e.g) preferring women with no careers, educational background, etc - then complaining when scammed + ripped off by a gold digger. Instead facing the fact - that it does not make sense to make such a lowsy decision and expect a fantastic outcome. Also, baseless assumptions about feminine nature - and 'assuming' that mother-figure's make no impression on daughters. Daughters without strong mother figures may or may not get the proper drive they need. There are two types of children in this world: Ones that look at a nothing-parent and strive to be better AND ones that look at nothing-parent, and conclude they can do NO better or nothing but. Restricting the female to assumed to be 'feminine' nature can be harmful for daughters without the influence of a proper mother. Son's would do fine.

    Maybe because there is a lot of pressure put on men to be successful confident funny intelligent tall good looking etc which can be hard for the Average man. Women have high to unrealistic standards for marriage and dating and women magazines and movies are selling the concept that Beyonce is the goal to aim for and that the ideal man just happens to look like Ryan Gosling. It does not anger me that women can be this way sometimes but i can understand the alpha males point of view, when a guy walks into a bar he NEEDS to be charming funny good looking if he wants to take a girl home. In other words men need to put in ALOT more work just to be considered while attractive women have the pick of the litter. That could be a reason.

    Men would say they find it difficult to understand women because they all want different things...don't we all, men too want different things if you really think about it.

    I think SOME men are frustrated because they want women to be exactly the way they want them and each day it's different. Some men want women to be emotional, then not emotional, dirty, then respectful...I mean if a woman is not easy to get into bed, she's playing hard/loves playing games/being difficult. If a woman is easy to get into bed, you'll be happy but then treat her like crap and label her all kinds of things. A person, man or woman, simply is frustrated because they don't know what they want truly and/or is looking for something 'easy' and ain't getting none of that from a respective man/woman. Deal with it.

    Be willing to know what you want and be honest about it, makes life easier for everyone.
