Men tend to be more obsessed rather than aggressive. The aggressive part comes from how they are raised rather that by their genes.

And a man can show obsession by talking endlessly rather than by demonstrating aggression.

However men are less likely to have a grudge and therefore any aggression they do show isn't likely to be permanent. But it is likely to be instant. But this factor can be found on some women as well.

So not everthing is a specific rule between the genders. It is really a general rule.

I was speaking generally (have been known to be a little aggressive myself sometimes but don't tell anyone, they may not notice lol) but some of the comments on this site get really aggresive rather than obsessive and at that point the ladies seem to leave the discussion.

Perhaps this is why we have so much misunderstanding between our various countries? Surely better understanding can only come from opening your mind and accepting the other person has a point of view even if you don't agree with it, rather than simply arguing your point over and over again.

You know, I must say that isn't entirely true.

I find that people usually talk excessively about subjects they are very passionate about. For example, I'm very passionate about physics (the theory side) and I can go on for hours discussing and inventing ways to resolve certain problems, however, when it comes to arts, I fall asleep in a matter of minutes.

Similarly, my sister takes a wide interest in biology and just hearing her talk makes me very sleepy. I've noticed this trait in many people.

Therefore, the conclusion that you make about men doing an excessive amount of chatter is untrue.

You're not wrong. A woman in our office all she does is talk talk and talk. She never listens. I do talk, but I listen too. It's not all about me you know sadly.... :p
 
^^^hmmmm...women let things out by talking i think...well...isnt it better talking a lot in certain situations. i mean a problem arises between a wife & a husband ...the women tend to want to talk to sort it out...but men dnt! and that creates more problems...aggression can come into it to in certain situations...i personally think when needed...a lot of talikng is needed...steam is let out slowly in that way...when u dnt talk to sort it out...it can blow in ur face then.

LOL...ive said too much now...well only cos i study relationship a lot...:giggling: :-[
 
^^^ Todays society men do tend to talk quite a bit. They don't feel they need to keep everything inside. The new generation is different in many aspects, even seen as ''weak'' by those of the elder generation as they would have had the ''Stiff Upper Lip'' mentality. It don't sit well or right these days.

Best to talk and get it off your chest I say!
 
I certainly wasn't trying to start a hate men thread. I love to discuss (or I wouldn't have joined a discussion forum) but since I moved to the middle east my attitudes have changed so much and only because I discuss, open my mind and listen. I just get so frustrated when a discussion turns into an argument, people shut off their mind and say I am right and you are wrong, or call you ignorant. Just because I don't agree with a person doesn't make me ignorant. I am happy to be told I am wrong about something and i will listen to the other persons view but I may not agree with it or change or mind, then again maybe I will change my mind - but not if they call me ignorant.
 
^^ aww....sis....well dnt worry this hasnt turned into a arguementative thread...i think the brothers will agree some jokes wer said....wel anyway hope they do.

regarding how ur being treated,, well sister...sometimes we come accross a lot of males that act aggressive...but we have to keep in mine...not all men are aggressive. infact some are the opposite. but sadly...they now have a stereotype attached worldwide

...mainly due to cultural upbringing. well as some brothers also said....we sisters also have now started to defend our selves..like u r..but that dsnt make us aggressive...& that certainly dsnt give any1 the right to call us ignorant! so just dnt let them bother u.

and brothers have started to speak out more...so hopefully soon we wnt have that stereotype of talking a lot!

anyway...wasalam...(im off to bed now..*sleepy*)
 
IMO Yes.

Testosterone, the male hormone is scientifically proven to increase aggression and reduce the functioning of the areas of the brain dealing with compromise & tolerance.

It fits in with the male role of hunting and defending family / tribe etc.

In modern society in the west, with men de-roled in the area of hunting, (you dont burn off aggression buying microwave meals), the aggression tends to come out in forms such as fighting at football matches, driving like a maniac and strutting along a street posturing aggressively, confrontative speech and disrespect.

Bring back gladatorial arenas so hip-hop fanatics can beat each other up in comfort & safety.:rollseyes
 
Wow Barney you got men down to a tee there!!!! But why can't they just have a discussion without getting all bolshy about their opinion and reverting to childhood by saying "you are ignorant"?
 
I am definitely aggressive (: I work out 5days a week including running. I bench almost 250 and am aiming for 300. My voice is load and I am tall. My pride is very important to me. I have been in so many fights because of stupid kufar insulting Islam and like a male I cannot show them that I am afraid even though deep inside I am a little afraid. I have never lost a fight! I think as Muslims it’s important to show the disbelievers that we are NOT weak.
