**TLDR: just answer the prompt honestly and candidly as you like!**
edit; i didn’t add the “no” tag and don’t know how to remove it 😭 sorry.
sorry if this comes across as accusatory. i am genuinely curious, and please feel free to express your opinion on this openly/honestly!
i’ve noticed since frequenting this sub and the ask reddit/ask women subs that there are some notable differences. i very rarely find men asking for a specifically feminine perspective on matters (which does seem a bit funny, given the historical stereotypes surrounding women being this very passive aggressive, mysterious, hard to read subgroup, lol. you’d think there’d be more curiosity surrounding how we think!). but when men are seeking woman-specific advice, they either ask other men here, or they go to ask reddit. it also seems like ask men is almost bombarded by women trying to understand why men do what they do – at least a lot more women here then men in “ask women”. granted, there are more male users on reddit, but the approximate 10% difference doesn’t seem to account for the differences in the ask women/ask men subs, especially. ask women in general it seems is a much less popular sub.
do you think it’s because irl men are better at being direct communicators, so they don’t need to pitch questions to reddit? they just ask the specific woman they need to talk to? if so, why are there still many men posting questions about women, just not directing said questions to women? do you think some men consider the opinions of other men as having more weight/merit than the opinions of women, even if a woman’s perspective might add valuable insight? if that is something that aligns with your beliefs, can you explain why? do you think women tend to over communicate/overthink matters, especially pertaining to the opposite sex? or have you noticed entirely different observations than me – do you think women are less interested in men’s opinions than men are in women’s?
holy yap. i really would love to have a thoughtful discussion on this, and i appreciate authentic, honest responses (i am not looking to judge – just want to learn, so being candid is appreciated and a variety of perspectives are appreciated). thank you for taking the time to read!
**EDIT: i just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied, but especially those who took the time to really explain why you feel the way you do. it’s been very enlightening and engaging. i would like to spend more time talking to everyone who’s responded, but realistically, i won’t be able to (though i will try and make a point to read it all). hope you have a good day/night!**
