who do you trust more?

who do you trust more?

men or women?

edit: mods feel free to add or edit accordingly, if need be.

 

[Domh245]

This is only going to go well...

 

[me123]

Men and women equally. More pertinently, each person on their own individual merits without any consideration as to gender.

I'm honestly baffled as to why someone would trust a man more or less than a woman based purely on their gender?

 

[Strathclyder]

Men and women equally, with my level of trust for each person based primarily on their own individual merits, gender not coming into it at all.

Basing your trust of a person based purely on their gender is kinda baffling, to me at least.

Ditto. It's just bizarre. Might be more relevant if you said 'trust about what'

...to ask directions when lost?

...to remember family birthdays?

Brilliant.

I trust my other half (she's one of them women type things) more than I've ever trusted anyone - Genetically programmed to be truthful in any situation even if it makes things a little uncomfortable at times. In the end it just makes things more simple.
She's taught me a lot about life, she's the best and I always listen to her opinion before making any important decisions.

I think you should have added pets to your poll / pole.

We have a pet cat and we trust her implicitly to deliver dead rodents to our back door most mornings if she's been out for the night.

This is actually a good point. Our old cat used to lay a couple of them out next to each other for us to discover. Many's the time I've stood in mouse guts at 7am. You'd think I'd have learnt to wear slippers..?

I trust both genders equally, but I find it takes less time properly trust my female friends before my male friends. My very best friend is female, and I've been able to tell her absolutely anything since we first met just over six years ago. There's a lot of things I feel I can tell her I couldn't tell my closest male friends, perhaps because it's because we're such similar people (both of us have autism spectrum disorder, as well as having similar life experiences we've helped each other with).

 

[TheEdge]

I trust only a small pile of stones I keep in my garden.

They know where the bodies are buried.

 

[DaleCooper]

I assume everyone is as trustworthy as me which is why I'm so cynical. You can always tell when I'm lying, my lips move.

 

[shredder1]

If life has taught me anything, its to only trust yourself,

 

[Seacook]

The final category is a subset of the third - trusting no one is trusting men and women to an equal extent.

As a general rule I trust people I know more than I trust strangers - which sex they are is not a consideration.

Liked!

I can trust my friends in some instances, but mainly, myself.

 

[Barn]

In my view there are certainly differences between men and women (on a population rather than an individual level) across a number of attributes but in my own experience trustworthiness is not one of them.

 

[KN1]

I don't trust any of my family, my wife or my kids.

 

[me123]

I'd be interested to hear from the (so far) three members who do implicitly trust someone more or less based solely on their gender.

 

[amateur]

I find women "fake". Therefore, I trust men more than I do women.

What you mean, 'fake'?

 

[AlterEgo]

I find women "fake".

Issues?

 

[Darandio]

I don't trust any of my family, my wife or my kids.

I'm confused.

I'm even more confused.

 

[cf111]

I try to take people as I find them, so if I think someone is untrustworthy then it's because of how they conduct themselves rather than their gender.

The one time I went to the doctor to discuss an issue with my, ahem, family jewels I did ask the receptionist specifically for a male GP but that wasn't a trust issue I just think I'd rather speak to a male doctor about such issues.

 

[me123]

I don't know how to put this, but... are you sure you're meeting real women? If your only experience was with mannequins and inflatable women then I could perhaps understand your thoughts that they are "fake". It would make more sense, and would be much less mysogynistic.

 

[DaleCooper]

They sound like the words of someone young and inexperienced who thinks that's what you're supposed to say if you're a "real" man.

"A hypocritical, ungenuine person whose words and actions are not reflective of their true feelings or intentions.
Despite the fact that Tom didn't value Mike or view him as a friend, Tom pretended to be Mike's friend because he knew Mike would take him on a nice vacation; by doing this, Tom is being a fake person to Mike. "

I presume the exclamation mark is supposed to indicate the importance of your source and that we should be impressed. Well I'm not and I still think your comment was ignorant.

We have been through the OP's inability to rationalise the behaviour of others in another thread. I suggest the OP rereads that thread to help him.

If women are faking it perhaps you need to up your game.

 

[Bletchleyite]

Good to see that the vast majority of people on here are not sexist

I doubt he's even on the team.
