Do you find that men who are primarily surrounded by women, mothers/sisters/aunts/daughters, happen to be more understanding and respectful of them?
Re: Men respecting women
ermm.. NO! Men are men. End of. If your not their mother/daughter/aunty/sister, Dont expect ANY respect... well it'll last a few years maybe if your lucky. Then bam! its gone!
Re: Men respecting women
^certainly not true.
Re: Men respecting women
Yes and we are also required by our religion to respect women.
If your not their mother/daughter/aunty/sister, Dont expect ANY respect...
Abay chup ...
errr .. I mean, please chup karain ..
Re: Men respecting women
It's a mix really. I've met guys who are surrounded by women and are complete jerks to them and other women. But then I've also met guys in similar environments who are complete gentlemen, very protective, respectful, and caring.
Re: Men respecting women
What is the opposite of those who are around these women?
Men living far away from family? Well, understanding 'may not be' there if they have no contact with women whatsoever... but respecting/disrespecting is irrelevant to being around women.
It is a personal trade and how they look at women in general.
Re: Men respecting women
I know some guys who are surrounded by both men and women are total gentlemen and very respectful and nice... here in the west, itscomonly thought that men who are raised in homes with many strong female figures (ie mother/sisters/aunts) tend to be more respectful of them... was just curious to see if this thinking is found in our culture as well.

There is a certain truth to this though I wouldn't say its for everyone.
Waiting for hte tamatars.
Re: Men respecting women
No.. I find guys who dont have many women in their home rather more reverential of them. I think it also has a lot to do with the positioning of the mother figure/her relation with said males father. If she is queen of the roost, then the wife will also be treated accordingly.

I disagree. You'll find these kind both respecting and disrespecting.
Not all men disrespect, just some. Just like not all women hate on men, just some.
There's a balance in this world, unfortunately some(feminists included) are hell bent on breaking this balance.
Re: Men respecting women
I think the relationship between a guy and his mom/sister sums up EXACTLY how he's gonna be w/ you. My fiancé is a total badass but with a total gentle/warm "interior". The way he respects and cares for his mom (who btw is very soft-spoken and warm herself) is adorable and so sweet. And no, he doesn't put her first or vice versa so the way he handles us both is the exact same way as far as caring and prioritizing is concerned. He says we're the 2 most important people in his life and how we're his "girls". Ahem. I can die a very happy death now. >.<
I so want my sons to be exactly like him. sigh
Sorry to hear that. Maybe you had bad experience.

Wear a helmet... as a good precaution...:D

very few men I know are like that
It could work either way:
A man surrounded by too many strong, opinionated women could resent the presence of women in his life and compensate by disrepecting other women in his life OR
A man raised by loving women who help foster a strong sense of self-respect in the guy will treat other women he comes across with courtesy and respect because that's what he was taught to do.
But honestly, it's tough to make generalizations since each individual makes his own choices and may despite either the positive or negative influence of women in his life - he may react in an opposite manner.
Re: Men respecting women
It could also depend on the guy's closeness to the women in his life. The guys that I know of who are surrounded by women and are jerk-ish, are not that close to them, do not sit down and talk to them that often. But I have guy friends who have only sisters but are close to them, hang out with them, talk to them, and those are the ones who are complete gentlemen to other girls. However, there may also be exceptions to both scenarios.

Re: Men respecting women
it depends on the women in his life. Generally speaking, if the women are strong and independent, then they tend to have more respect. I am not saying she needs to be a CEO, its just the attitude. Example, my aunt is a housewife. She is sweet to everyone, but does not take any s##t from anyone. Her husband loves and respects her because he know she expects and would not accept anything less. They have been together almost 30 years mashallah
Re: Men respecting women
Respect is not confine to only women . Either a person is respectful or not . Its not only for one gender or age .
Like everything else we learn it from our elders . But men tend to follow men more . So if I am respectful , then it means that most probably I picked it from my father , elder brother , elder cousin , elder uncle , some close friend etc . As they say ''A man is known by the company he keeps'' .
