To ask are all men selfish?

[Gre8scott]

I notice a trend in my friends stories of the men in their lifes and how most of then are selfish. Even if they are family men and they dont spend all day in the pub (per covid 19)
They still do things like make everyone go in the garden cos they want to be outside.
Golf on a Saturday cos they've been working all week although wife had been with baby
Pushed themselves at work will wife has stepped back to have family
Just have a bath even if family need something
Are all men like that

No not at all - I'm currently relaxing while DH makes us risotto for dinner. He works really hard for us, does plenty of housework, cooks, helps the girls with anything academic they might need.
Yes he has a hobby - too outing to say what - but it involves a bike but he always puts us first.
I love him, as do our teens - he is lovely and has been for the 30+ years we have been a couple.

Lots of them are but not all of them. Mine isn't

No. HTH

What's hth

No my husband isn't like that at all.

Yes - every man in the entire world is completely selfish.

Oh, wait, no they aren't.

No of course not.

Of course not, what a question. Your friends are obviously willing to put up with selfish men doesnt mean everyone is.

We have this thread everyday

This is what I love about mumsnet ........ arseholes

Only as selfish as women

Just because your friends made poor choices of life partners doesn't mean that everyone has such low expectations.

My husband is amazing tbh

No

No not at all. And I have no sympathy for women who choose or choose to stay with men like that either.

No
DH is lovely. He looks after me. I’m the selfish one if I’m honest but I’m trying to be bettter.

“This is what I love about mumsnet ........ arseholes”

What do you mean @Gre8scott

I find this so interesting
My husband makes tea .... so hes great!
That's low exceptions no?
I dont believe that not all men are selfish.
I reckon everyone of you has stories that you have 'forgotten'
Even family man is selfish my dad was the best dad but every Saturday football came first

No of course not. My DH is wonderful and I know quite a few other fabulous men who put their families first

HTH = hope that helps

Everyone of them that replied was horrible

Believe what you like, a belief doesn’t have to be right.

Saying all men are selfish is similar to saying all women are emotional. It’s a load of shit.

Are all Irish people IRA?
Are all Muslims terrorists?
Are all girls weak and emotional?
Are all homeless people druggies?

Ita so easy to start an arguement on here

As a class, I would say men are more selfish than women, but obviously this doesn't mean that all men are.

My DH certainly was more selfish than I would have liked when our DCs were tiny and I can't imagine many women would have behaved the way he did, particularly WRT hobbies. He's improved over time, fortunately.

Quite a few of my friends have experienced the same and I don't really think they're a unique bunch.
