5 things women CAN'T handle, but men CAN

Today, I chat about 5 things I notice women can't handle but men do.

#3 is a big one and I think a majority of women don’t have any realistic idea of what NO attention looks like. Boys learn from a very young age that they need to be their own support system. To be honest, I think if most women experienced the lack of attention that men are accustomed to, it would absolutely crush their self esteem. I don’t mean this in a hurtful way, I just wish more women understood this.

I have literally been rejected 100% throughout my life after the age of 14. It took me a long time to get happy with being by myself. Now, my standards have gone up immensely. A woman would have to be special for me to give up my happy, carefree life.

Broke up with a woman once who told me "You'll never find anyone like me again" 😎I said "I surely hope not!"

Having had an abusive narcissist girlfriend was incredibly valuable. I no longer care if I have a woman around or not. Being single is far far better than dealing with crazy people.

It starts early. Do not raise your daughters telling them they are special.
Instead, tell them they have the ability to be amazing special people if they put in the effort.
Do not raise princesses. Raise adults.

A few years back I asked a girl I thought was cool and attractive for her number and she told me "I don't think my boyfriend would appreciate that." Know what I felt? Pride for her. I thought that was awesome of her and I didn't feel the slightest bit bad because I appreciate loyalty, regardless of who it is.

There is an old adage: "Men have responsibilities. Women have choices."

Almost 50 years ago I was in a public library reading and a young woman asked me if I was in one of her college classes. I was in the Navy at that time so I answered the explicit question and said no. I didn’t realize she was trying to approach me.
She insisted that I was in her class. I still replied “no.”
Had she said she would like to talk with me I would likely have talked with her for an hour or two. As I told my wife before we got married, “Don’t hint. Be as blunt as driving a tack with a sledgehammer.”

[codyandargo]

You definitely nailed it with the "Men feel invisible" statement. That is absolutely 100% true.

1. Women use the "I have a boyfriend" excuse, even when they don't have a boyfriend, so she probably didn't believe that he was telling the truth.

With #3, I'm glad I fixed my daughter's need for attention. When she was 3 y/o, she wouldn't listen to me or do what I asked, like pick up her toys. Got fed up, made a cup of tea, grabbed a book, sat down and ignored her. She kept trying to get my attention, but after many attempts, I finally told her that if she wouldn't listen to me and do what I asked, then I wouldn't listen to her. I told her again about her room, then ignored her for 45 minutes. All the crying, temper tantrums, but then the toys started getting picked up. She came out, said she picked up her room, and I instantly talked to her again. After that, all I had to say was" If you don't listen to me....", and it was instantly, "OK mom!" She appreciates attention, but doesn't need it to be "happy".

#3 - Lack of attention: A female work collegue (~age 55) told me "there is nothing that gets more ignored than an older woman".
I just started to laugh and told her, that this is completely for most man of any age.
- heads will turn turn when you enter a bar
- people won't have eye contact walking down the street
- you will have to call the waiter because they don't even look into your direction


I only experienced 3 times that an unknown woman even smiled into my direction (outside of service jobs) and that was outside of western countries.

I'm 42 and just a few nights ago had, for the first time my entire life, a woman ask ME out after a night of hanging out together. I was already planning to do the same but she beat me to it and let me tell you, it's a great feeling to be the one actually being pursued a bit for once. 😂 Great video. Agree with everything you talked about!

6.Accountability for her actions
7. Saying "I'm sorry and meaning it"
8. Saying what they actually think and standing by their word
9. Stop playing the victim
10. Enjoying simple things


There's a Roman proverb they don't teach in school

"When a woman smiles, she is lying.

When she cries, she is manipulating"

The fear of rejection goes beyond dating. I have a female friend who is looking for a job. She will send out ONE application every month or two. She is so afraid of rejection that she cannot even apply for a job. Men, on the other hand, are perfectly willing to send out HUNDREDS of applications. They know it's a numbers game. If they get a rejection, they chalk it up to experience and say "next." Women just can't handle that. They had rather fail miserably than be rejected.

My “to be wife” approached me first and it worked! We celebrate 50yrs married next year!

[jrfoster]

The last one rang so true for me. Almost 10 years after my ex left me and divorced me, I asked a woman I’d met and been dating for a while, to marry me. As soon as my ex found out, she called me and started saying things like, “I miss you and miss all the wonderful times we had together. We should get together sometime and talk.”
I replied, “That is in the past and right now it wouldn’t be appropriate to get alone with you.”

My main standard for women is that they live up to their own standards. It's interesting how unrealistic that standard seems in the face of points like these

[alansmith]

Wow, a beautiful woman who has logic, compassion, and brains. What a deadly combo you possess. You should do a video on the differences between men and women being accountable for what they do and say. Love the movie with Jack Nicholson where he uses that line to the book publisher's secretary. She asks him how a man can write such deep thoughts of women..him being a man of course...and his retort, "I just take away logic and responsibility." Women use emotion.

Had a situation of couple of years ago where a lady I supervised asked me how to document and resolve a quality control issue she had just experienced. Being in this company for almost 40 years I told her what was necessary to fix it. A few minutes after our conversation I saw her pick up the phone. I just knew something wasn't right. I walked by her and she was speaking to the Director of the company asking the same question she had asked me. After she was done with the phone call I approached her and asked why she had called the Director. She said something like she felt more comfortable with him. I told her i didn't appreciate her doing an end run around me to a higher supervisor. She didn't like that I had called her on that behavior. She began to cry. Needless to say it ended up in the Spanish Inquisition.. She was asked by the manager if the Director had given her any instructions different than what I had given to her. She replied, "No"! I was reprimanded for making her cry. I explained that I had simply said...without curses...without raising my voice...without dirty looks...that I didn't appreciate her calling a Director who was off-duty...and I was being paid extra money to be on-site manager...for her to go behind my back and disturb this Director. It made me look bad. So, I got punished for saying I didn't like what she had done. But I guess even that is no longer even allowed in our work places. So, she can turn on the emotions and cry over a feeling that she was corrected over trumps a supervisor telling her not to do something that she shouldn't have done. Even during the interview the manager told her to follow chain of command. But I got a verbal warning that I should have let it go and brought it up later to a manager. Go figure?!?
