Stardusk Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Do you trust women as a general rule or do you always proceed cautiously with them...? Personally I don't trust them as far as I can throw them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapphireNoir10 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Its not so much women, this should be 'people' I trust people until they show I have reason not too, im a lil cautious these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cognitive_Canine Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm not a man either but I give everyone a fair shot at trust till they prove me wrong. Why don't you trust women? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 If you're talking about relationships..... ....trust is built over time. I'm not going to give someone new too much credit right off the bat, but on the other hand, I'll trust them until they give me a reason not to.

Aviatormy Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I agree. I have said this before but it is a good rule of thumb to practice the "innocent until proven guilty" sayin instead of "guilty until proven innocent". I think that a lot of relationships fail because there is no trust from the get-go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelPusher Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It's not a gender thing, it's just a trust issue in general. There are an equal amount of untrustworthy men out there, but just because your heart wasn't broken by one of them doesn't mean they're any better. Don't want to be harsh but I don't like this type of question... it's so abstract. I trust everyone to some degree, but never put myself in a position of being damaged/hurt until they've proven to me they ARE trustworthy. I just think it's wrong going through life not trusting anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Do you trust women as a general rule or do you always proceed cautiously with them...? Personally I don't trust them as far as I can throw them... When I was young and unexpirienced I trusted one with my whole heart. BIG MISTAKE! Now, when I meet a girl, there is zero trust which is built if we continue to see each other and if she make actions matching her words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahhh Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm a pretty trusting person in general. It may make me somewhat naieve, especially with women, but I think you gotta give the beneifit of the doubt. If you do something less then admirable to make me believe you're not the person you say you are, I'll never trust you again and I'd always be guarded to you.

Stardusk Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm not a man, but I'm curious why you don't trust us.....I trust men until they give me reason not to. Women are cunning, manipulative, selfish, indecisive and generally have no idea what they want. This is a consequence of 'overemancipation' believing that all in the world belongs to them and they can do as they will with men as they see fit without consideration for men as 'human beings', who in accordance with the consequences of overemancipation and excessive capitalistic thought are relegated to the status of wares/goods/products, to be discarded at a whim, should they no longer suit the purposes of a woman. A brief summary of why I don't trust women, especially Western women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works both ways. But, seriously. It ridiculous to group people together. I have no reason to think that you are manipulative, selfish, and indecisive. And I will treat you with that open mindedness. Can you not do the same for other women? Sounds like you got hurt bad...probably by more than one woman. But, I assure you that there are good ones out there. Many actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsflash, buddy, both men and women can be quite untrustworhty. Now maybe % of untrusty women is a bit larger, but not by that high a %. General rule of thumb, people suck, not just women, not just men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amtjrtcet Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 right, but they get a fair start right? no reason to think of them as bad ..... yet. Yes, a fair start to an extent. I trust them enough from the start to allow myself to get to know them...But it has to build from there. I'm naive in many ways with men specifically but not b/c I trust them, but b/c I hope they'll be who I want them to be. I have very few girlfriends as well for that same reason. Men and woman are both capable of fitting the description the op gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPusher Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It absolutely is a gender question...I don't see how it is not; can you please elaborate? I don't see how you can logically lump ALL women, especially "Western" women into the untrustworthy category. You've obviously been burned by A (singular) woman but HOW does that make ALL women the same way? I agree that our culture (and it's becoming a more worldwide culture) is putting less and less emphasis on looking out beyond your own selfish needs. But there are still many good trustworthy men and women out there. But of course, if you've convinced yourself otherwise you'll never really see them, and thus... only back up your own beliefs.
