Why are women much nicer than men?

My exP who split up with me in the summer has been as nice as pie lately. Stupidly because I was lonely I have gone along with it. Days out, dates, hugs, kisses, physical affection....all making me think "maybe". Oh and then the other evening I find out that he has invited a woman from back home to his for Christmas. Someone he has had a sexual past with, and there's nowhere for her to sleep other than in his bed. This from the man who after five years with me decided he didn't want to be in a relationship after all. "Is this a problem?" Damn right it's a problem.

I don't know a single woman who would be so cruel and lacking in empathy to someone they had been in a relationship for five years, who they professed to still care about.

> I read on this site regularly about men who treat women appallingly

Keep in mind this site is heavily used by women having a moan about their partner. I often browse the threads when I'm having trouble sleeping, and I can't remember a woman ever posting a thread simply to praise their partner.

Yes, agree that women are generally nicer. They're more emotionally intelligent, better at making conversation, and generally don't do things just to impress others (which is why a lot of men behave the way that they do). And this is coming from a man... :)

Agree! I have noticed that since going through the menopause I am much less inclined to be a 'people pleaser'.

There are SOME men around who are nicer than women. And I say this as someone who has a pretty low opinion of men in general. I have a mobility disability and one time I have noticed that women are more unpleasant than men is when it comes to getting on public transport. I have noticed that the majority of times I have had someone push in front of me to get on a bus,it is a woman.

Why are women nicer?

Oestrogen.

When that fucker starts depleting other people know about it. Believe.

The only people who ever deliberately humiliated me, belittled me, or abused me physically were women.

I realise it’s a massive generalisation op but I’m afraid I agree with you.

My maternal Grandad was a gambling addict that stole from my sweet, kind Nan. My paternal Grandad was an alcoholic that used to hit my Nan. My Dad was financially and emotionally abusive to my Mum (she did eventually leave) At 13 I was plied with alcohol and at the very least sexually assaulted whilst unconscious. The male police officer that investigated called me a ‘slag’ and blamed me for being at a party. At 17 I was asked on a date where the man sexually assaulted me (mobile phones weren’t mainstream) and I had to play nice in order for him to take me home because I didn’t know where I was and it turned out he was married with a very small child. At 18 I met a man that appeared to be a good egg, he most likely cheated on me throughout our relationship of 13 years (never admitted to it) but I caught an STD despite having had sex with no one else for 13 years. He joined dating websites, went to strip clubs and lied about it, left me for boys’ weekends away when I had just given birth. I left him because I didn’t want that and rebuilt my life. I met a narcissist that financially abused me, I got rid of him. My best friend’s husband of 20 years made a pass at me about 6 months ago. I have never met a man that has added any value to my life. I have a strong mistrust and dislike of men, I never have said all men but I am allowed my opinion and it doesn’t need responding to on a forum where opinions are being sought. But yes I suppose I’m the common denominator.

Not one single woman has hurt or abused me. I believe women are better in every single way.

Some are, some arent. If I had to choose between a woman boss or a man boss, it would probably be a man. Make of that what you will.

No, you don't. You assume it isn't, but you can't know.

Oestrogen

Big stereotype
I know men who are much more cheerful and friendly than their wives.

Or the OP is the one that everyone avoids unless absolutely necessary.

also see "If you can't take me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best".

You're welcome.
Everyone is entitled to live in peace.

That's really kind of you.

When we look at crime, violence, rape, pedophalia, drugs, sex trafficking etc these are mostly done by men. Men are more likely to walk out on their kids than women. Plenty of horrible women out there (& female criminals) but if I'm walking out late at night it's not women I'm wary of.

'Why are women much nicer than men?'

They're not. Hope that helps.

I have known men and boys who could give
the most bitchy, manipulative two faced women a serious run for their money.

I hope you have support irl and within the community if necessary.
Hope you get it resolved.👍

I don't think either sex is nicer. I have met lovely and nasty people of both sexes. Bar my current line manager - who is a lovely lady - I've preferred my male line managers.

However, I do find female drivers are not patient and considerate on the road.

Women are less violent, they do more voluntary work, they do more charity work, they're better at keeping in touch, they're better at looking out for the vulnerable, they're more interested in others generally. Women tend not to drive around loudly revving engines, or race each other up and down dual carriageways, not caring that they're disturbing people. Women don't tend to show off to their mates when driving, not caring that their speed and recklessness could kill people.

Seem like nicer people from where I'm standing.

It’s not me. I know it’s not me.

Are they? Some women are awful as well.

How would you know it isn't you? You are hardly the most objective observer. There's a saying that if one day you meet an asshole, then you met an asshole. If you meet 20 assholes, then you're the asshole.
