Why are ladies always blamed?

It comes from old gender roles. Women are historically subservient and therefore, in addition to their other duties, they take blame for men. The payoff for this can vary. Some women take blame and suffer for it. Other women take blame for men who later make it up to them in other ways (appreciation, attention, leniency, cash, favors, et cetera).

This is something women do not appreciate, taking blame. And they should not ever be required to. But it can be used to one's advantage, and as a result many women do so... thereby perpetuating this gender role.

How can you stop your man from being rude?

Tell him that you think he's being rude, and ask him to be more considerate. If he doesn't change, consider if he's mostly nice, or mostly rude. If you determine that he's the latter, then quit that relationship.

If he is rude or unkind to people who cannot speak back (servers, phone callers) then you need to realize it is likely he will eventually treat you that way, too.

This theory highlights the interaction between individual psychological processes and social influences in shaping human behavior and identity.

If an alcoholic treats you great while sober but mistreats you when drinking is it possible for them to truly love you Or is a drunk person really a sober person talking?

Alcoholics have a disease and it's a myth that some people who are alcoholics have to have a bottle or more of alcohol to get them into an abusive state. Some men only need a couple of drinks and can be abusive. There is such a thing as an allergic reaction to alcohol. Also if the man is using drugs and drinking this is a lethal combination. Alcoholics may start out by drinking heavily when younger, but, instead of growing up and slowing down with their drinking and making a life for themselves they can't seem to stop. Some men (and women) drink their worries and anger away by hitting the bottle, but the worries or anger only seems to intensify and it's generally taken out on their mate. Alcoholism can also be genetic. It's important that the alcoholic attend AA Meetings and that their partner attends Al-anon to understand the alcoholic; there is a great percentage of alcoholics who will admit they are alcoholics and seek treatment that lead very happy and healthy lifestyles. However, the percentage of men that refuse treatment will continue to drink and abuse. It's important to know that all men that get drunk and are not abusive, but can actually be very sedated and fall asleep. Like with any drug, the alcoholic would rather have the bottle than worry about his relationship with family, perhaps children, partner or friends and unless they are willing to seek help for alcoholism it is best to leave the situation.

How do you react when you are afraid of someone?

Never let them know you are afraid of them. Look them straight in the eye and plant your feet solid on the ground! Once a person knows you are afraid of them then they realize they have you under their thumb. Of course you will still feel fear and even may have the 'shakes' after the incident is over, but remind yourself that no one has the right to make your feel afraid or to pick on you in anyway. Don't get into a debate with such people and say things like 'Oh, is that right' or, 'I prefer not to discuss that.' If they are constantly hounding you try to hold your own and walk by them if possible. If they can't get a reaction out of you then they'll just move onto someone else that they know will fear them.

When someone keeps on coming in your thoughts whom you usually avoid and you keep on looking for him around and when he is there you pretend to ignore him then what is it called?

this is called being EVASIVE! you are storing negative emotions (about this person) inside of you. To heal these emotions you must try to identify why you are avoiding this person and is this for your own good? To let go of these feelings, try to write your worries about this person in a PRIVATE diary before going to sleep. It will help to clear your mind. If it is possible and if you feel ready to contact this person, maybe you should try to talk to them face-to face about this problem so that you can gain some CLOSURE and then move on. To help you to stop thinking about this person, try to keep busy with your work/school life. Also, take up a relaxing hobby in your spare time like watercolour painting, pottery or ice-skating. Also, eating healthily and taking regular walks in the fresh outdoors will help to cleanse your body and mind so you will have sharper decision making skills, and hopefully, a greater piece of mind!

How do you get people to stop laughing at overweight people?

- You cannot get anyone to stop laughing at overweight people or anyone who does not particularly fit into their personal criteria.

- Not all people poke fun at overweight people.

- If you are a friend of an overweight person, you can stand up for them. Once you do, you are beginning to stop the chain reaction of crude jokes that are hurting your friend (or yourself, if you are overweight.)

- People who throw stones at glasshouses get theirs in the end. I know I've seen it many times.

- The person who is receiving the remarks could say, 'I can still lose weight, but being mean spirited isn't so fixable".

- Generally, this behavior begins in High School, High School isn't forever, and they will soon forget about the person who is the subject of their jokes.

- Being overweight is not healthy so if this is a friend (or simply yourself) join Weight Watchers and get moving and start losing some of that weight, but do it for YOU and not for THEM!

- Ask them what they would feel like if they were visibly different and had people laughing at them.

- Heavy people can lose weight more easily than mean people can change their hearts.

- Don't hand out unsolicited advice. Some people have hereditary predisposition to obesity, some have control issues in other areas of their lives.

- Telling heavy people to get moving is as helpful as shoving cream pie at an anorexic. Food is usually NOT the problem, but an outward manifestation of an inner problem.

- Unconditional caring and acceptance would be much more helpful.

Why do people judge others in social situations?

Because most people don't understand the problem they face their self so it's easier to judge someone else and think they know everything ,when really they are in the same boat ,they don't want other to judge them and be made fun of or put down for their faults as well, so it's easier to hurt someone else instead of them feeling the hurt they have had done to them. Answer I think the people with the biggest issues are the ones who stand around judging everyone else in a social situation. Low self esteem or insecurity are usually present and they have to make themselves feel better by putting others down.

How come old men always and you mean always talk soo much unecisary ...you know?

Older men talk a lot because they have lived long enough to experience many things as they went through life. They have seen things that younger men can't even imagine. They have learned by trial and error. When something failed, they had to find a new way to do it. When they talk (and it may seem unnecessary) it is worth listening to. We can learn a lot from those talking old men. The best way is just to sit still and learn. I'm not an old man yet but I love to listen to those 'Old Men'. i am old man and i dump myself at night then i then rub it on my face and shove it in my ears

Why does everyone hate short people?

It is not true. You have just found the wrong people, that's all. But please remember: in order to be loved or "liked", YOU must be your very first fan. It doesn't mean you have to become a narcisist, absolutely. It means you must learn to appreciate what's good in you and let it out for the others to see. If you focus on the "bad" things about you (like being short) you will show the others exactly what you want to hide. There's no point in spending your time thinking about something that you can't change. Live your life the best way you can, find help if you feel you cannot do it alone. Don't feel sorry for yourself..... It won't get you anywhere. Make it your 2008 goal. ;) Merry Christmas. And Happy New Year.

What are the likely most spontaneous things people do?

When a much older person for example an old woman has been so rude to you is it all right to also be rude to her?

    • No, you should not be rude in return, because two wrongs can't make a right. It is never polite to be rude.
  • I think if someone is rude you should be rude to unless you think their just having a bad day.=}
  • You don't always have to rude, you should respect your elders. They have gone through a lot in their life and she is probably not happy that she still alive. Maybe her late husband passed away and she takes her anger on everyone else. You should just try to understand, ignore her or tell her politely that she doesn't have to be so mean to you.
  • As people age, nerve connections in their brains deteriorate and that has the effect of removing tact and discretion. A very old person might say something that she would not have dreamed of saying a few years before. You can't in fairness penalise someone for something beyond their physical abilities. Nobody gets upset about a baby being incontinent because people know that babies do not have the physical ability to be clean and continent.
  • If you believe that the person who was rude has not yet started with age related deterioration of nerve connections, replying with exquisite politeness may remind her of her own manners.
  • You could say "I'm sorry - have I done something to offend you?" In this way you will show that you have class and that you are open to their feelings.
  • You might better ask yourself why you would want to be rude to anyone? What would you get out of it? It would not make you a better person
  • I don't think it matters.
  • She is old as you say; she may be unwell and unhappy. Try to forget about it. Allow your compassionate and spiritual nature to develop. Carry goodness in your heart not hardness. Apart from anything else, it is an easier way to live with yourself.

What does it mean when people cough or clear their throat when they hear something they might not like?

Coughing or clearing the throat in response to something one might not like can be a subconscious attempt to mask a negative reaction or buy time to think of a polite response. It can also indicate discomfort or displeasure with what was said without directly expressing it.

Is the mass media the sole factor responsible for the behavior of the modern youth?

The media is the biggest part of it, but with two parents working in most families and little time for quality of time with children today it's the parents who need to guide their children through the years up to their independence and teach them skills such as good, bad, trust, honestly, integrity, working hard and hopefully to ride of religious faith. Sometimes religious faith is all they may have to hang onto when times gets tough. It appears that more parents are spending less time with their children and more time working. In most of these cases no one needs the big house, two expensive cars, expensive holidays, etc. If the parents are working hard just to keep a roof over their family, live a moderate lifestyle there is still time for 'quality time' for the children (no matter how tired someone is.) It appears that some parents are lacking in this area. I live in British Columbia Canada and I find many of the teens today are cheeky, bad language, lack of authority and parents who feel that teachers are babysitters and leave the 'messy things' some children may pull off for the police or tax payers. Thankfully for every 10 bad kids there is one that no matter how they were treated seemed to have learned good manners, gotten good scores on tests and are making something out of themselves.

Why do people blow on their fingernails and then brush it on their coat collar?

When done unconsciously, it's to blow little fuzz bits or crumbs off your fingertips, and then buff them on your clothes. As a deliberate gesture, it is used to show a feeling of superiority and expertise,usually as a little jokingly show-off thing, but done aimed at someone you dislike or consider inferior , it's sort of a swaggering put-down.It has it's origins as a class-concious gesture, when only the upper classes could afford manicures , then was taken up by the working class as a passive- aggressive way to mock their " betters " .
