To think it’s unwise to put too much trust in men?

[ForBreezySloth]

I’ve always felt it’s important to maintain some level of caution, especially when trust is built over time. Am I being too sceptical or is it just a smart way to protect yourself?

I think to tar all men with that brush is probably a bit extreme, unless you have had some particularly terrible experience.

When you meet anyone new - colleague, friend, neighbour, or potential boyfriend - it makes sense to get to know them over time before getting too involved emotionally, or financially, or in any other way.

But I agree with @MidnightPatrol suggesting all men aren't trustworthy makes you unreasonable. However YANBU with this
it’s important to maintain some level of caution, especially when trust is built over time
in any new relationship.

I think it's unwise to completely trust anyone, man or woman.

I agree OP. However I feel the same about anyone, even women.

It doesnt mean all men or women are bad or wrong. My experiences mean that I will never fully trust anyone even if I wanted to.

My dad told me as a child that all men are bastards. He's not been far wrong yet in my eyes. 🤣
