Treat them mean, keep them keen (46)

Aug 10, 2015 7:46 AM CST Treat them mean, keep them keen
Some say Women prefer strong men who act like the boss and they don't respect nice men who treat them as equals. Some say the approach to women should be treat them mean, keep them keen, otherwise women won't respect men and they will start behaving like "strong" women. I am not saying I agree with that view, I need to hear all sides of the argument before making up my mind on anything.

Feel free to discuss.

A woman wants a man to be strong, supportive and have respect for her and their relationship. A man wants to care about his woman, he wants her to be strong so they can be strong together, he wants her to respect him for being her man, and for loving and caring about her.

Why do you think any woman would want a man to treat her mean? confused

I don't play games, have no time for BS and wouldn't be with someone I couldn't respect.

People have different preferences and some people simply have issues.

Would those some actually be men saying what they think women prefer or actual women giving their opinion.

No one should be deliberately mean to another human being

Probably more men in fairness wittyandwise, so there might be inherent bias in the supposition but you do hear it said.

Agree, no one should deliberately be mean to another human being, so why do women nag men so much? Is that not being deliberately mean? dunno

It's a well known fact that women like to take their frustrations out on men by nagging them. The men have done nothing wrong yet have to endure women's nagging just because the women have nothing better to do than nag.

All sounds like game-playing to me. Treat people as you would like to be treated is my motto. I don't agree with anyone's idea of 'treating them mean to keep them keen'. Does it work? Maybe, in some cases. I wouldn't want to be with someone who treated me like that. Nor would I think a whole lot of a guy who's willing to be walked all over. It's hard to respect someone who doesn't have respect for themselves, or gumption.

This is the thing Bird1977, not all birds are nice, a lot aren't and they are the ones who need to be kept in line, otherwise they will end up treating their men like women and walking all over them.

You need a pair alright or women won't respect you. thumbs up

You are right Anna, there are nice women around. It's just hard to meet them. Patience is the key. Same goes for women with men. thumbs up

I don't agree with the "Treat them mean keep them keen " philosophy at all.
Mutual respect, caring and patience and a bit of give and take , goes a long way.
