5 Myths About Women and Dating


There are a few common misconeptions men have about women and dating. I thought I would bring up a few of them to clear up a few rumors in the male locker room. Ladies help me out.

Myth #1: Strong Women Don’t Need to Be Taken Care Of
Sure we can conquer the world, are confident, and successful. Sometimes, we just want you to help us even if we can do it ourselves. We like being supported, nurtured, and taken care of. We even want you to ask if we need help. It lets us know you care. We still want you to wear the pants. Hey, we might even iron them for you.

Myth #2 – Women just don’t get along with each other and will throw each other under the bus for a man.
Strong, independent, smart women get along famously. They seek each other out and strive to support one another. There are women who behave in a catty way when it comes to other women, being rude or purposely excluding them, but these women don’t represent the norm. Many women have friends they have kept for years and won’t ditch them when “Mr. Right” comes around. We keep those girls around because of our built in support system. Just like guys bounce things off their boys….that’s what our girls are for.

Myth #3 – Some women are really just one of the boys.
Women are women. Not boys. Not men. Women might have hobbies that men also enjoy, but any women that tells a man that either “women don’t like her” or “she gets along better with men” probably thinks if she acts like a guy it will make her more attractive. However, a woman with no female friends should raise an eyebrow. Women who have strong bonds with other women can make better emotional partners. Like women need to watch out for a guy with only female friends….a man should watch out for a woman with only male friends. Very few “friendships” start off platonic. Someone was interested and the other party was not and is waiting for that window of opportunity.

Myth #4: Women aren’t in to sex like men
Lies and deception. We like sex just like you do. Many of us won’t open up to you when we first meet you or until further in the dating game because we have to determine your intentions. Once a woman feels comfortable with you she can go no holds barred. We like trying new things too! Most women are willing to try most things at least once if their partner is in to it. If you are in a healthy relationship it all boils down to communication. If you both like it …don’t be suprised to see it again. If either of you didn’t like the result, speak up and try something new. We want our O too dammit!

Myth #5 Women automatically think of Marriage
Not true. We may not even be on the marriage track in our lives and just want to feel out the dating scene. If we are seriously dating you and not in it for kicks and giggles then women start thinking marriage. If we can’t see you raising our kids, or being the head of our household its time cut our losses. Its not automatic but the thought comes when we have been dating you for awhile.

    Just a comment on #1...I think more than the other four, women perpetuate this myth and then repeatedly talk to our girls about wanting support etc. Our girls respond with something "you're not letting that man be a man". I think that's the right sentiment but it is ridiculous to believe we have the power to "let" somebody do anything. Either way (went down a road I didn't intend), back to perpetuating the myth. Many of us get so accustomed to being "independent" that we fail to open our lives up to a little dependence when it's available. And I don't just mean from a man. Family, friends, coworkers, schoolmates etc are there for us too. A friend once told me just to ask for help sometimes. So maybe we should all practice asking for and being genuinely open to help and support from others. Then there won't be enough anectdotal evidence for it to rise to myth status anymore.
  • I agree with Myth #1 the most. People are too used to us wearing the cape and believing that we don't need our feet, back's, and temples rub, that we don't need a hot meal, that we don't want flowers (only money), and that we don't need any form of nurturing except for dack.

    Strong women need unconditional love.
