Men are on average more messy

[OBEler]

Men can focus really hard on something and then blend their environment off.

They are also more robust and less sensitive than girls. You as a man gives a fuck if a spider is crawling next to you. Look at the reaction of a girl.

@Alexop Hmm that is a very biased view. I think men can be just as tidy as women lol 

I have known messy women when I lived in student halls 

It’s just a stereotype for the most part

The oversimplified evolutionairy psychology answer is: Women were staying in the village preparing the nest, while the guys were out there hunting.

In my personal experience, I think certain men can care less about tidiness and cleanliness but I've met pig people on both sides of the aisle.

I think a female pig person is almost worse due to all of the discarded hygiene products that ends up piling up around their den. Used tampons and pads give me convulsions.

Men are more messy on the outside while women on the inside.

By whom? Men or women? Do you really want to fit in with such people?

There is a greater social expectation for men to earn higher incomes ironically while more women graduate from post secondary.

Being a woman in a patriarchal society, performing femininity the way the ignorant and the patriarchal society expects women to is exhausting and feels like a prison.

I think you have great points. You can escape the prison you describe however by shifting your mindset. For example men don't ask women to pluck their eyebrows (Infact men prefer intact eyebrows), wear high heels ( again men prefer shorter women). So women willingly take on alot of problems and then blame men. 

Simply opt-out of the sexiest madness and be a conscious leader. It's the sexiest thing you can be and what the world needs.

In a patriarchal society ruled by men and masculinity, this is very predictable. Men have higher social status than women merely by being men, and the higher your status, the more things you are allowed to do. It’s like your boss can be late and go home early without asking anyone, and no one cares, but once you do that, you get frowned upon.

 

This is just your insecurity, this may have been historically true (and in some parts of the world currently) but it's not true anymore in the West. Anyone can feel insecure or go through a "everyone hates me" phase, but when you are a different race or gender you wrongly blame it on those features.

Your boss goes home early cause he earned that right by being the boss. However In most companies the more pay you get the more responsibility and work you have. 

You can break out of the social prison very easily especially with Leo's videos.

They say women tend to have messy cars whereas guys keep their cars tidy and then it’s the reverse for your digs. No idea lol

Probs more down to what you value than any inherent quality about being a man or woman

Of course there are specific men who are tidy, do you understand what a generalization is?

@Lila9 Good points. We need more healthy masculinity in the world that will bring life and energy to men, so many men are like zombies from what I notice. Men are like a bicycle, if they don't go forward towards some meaningful goal, they fall. 

Office jobs, bad marriage, no education in healthy maculinity are sucking their energy. I remember asking my grandfather about his job as a teacher, his eyes lighened up when someone asked him what he used to work. Ask now a programmer what he works with.

I guess you're still living in the caveman days. C'mon out. There's a whole new world out here where women are out working and men are hunting for pussy.

For whatever it's worth, """Science""" (TM) is moving away from this long-held perspective which has been a sticking point/cornerstone in evo psych. (That it wasn't common for women to hunt big game.)

spoiler alert: people of all genders who could things, often did it. 

Anyway, specialization is more typically a feature of modernizing societies (more people, non-nomadic lifestyle), is it not?

[Buck Edwards]

Women are generally more restricted by society to act a certain way or they are considered not so lady like, maybe because of that. A man being rowdy is often seen as a sign of his charisma.

Not sure how much of this is my own neurodivergence, but personally I find this super relatable.

I also have happened to think for a lot of my life that tasks and expectations that are dumped on women/ girls are beneath me.... so there is that too.

[Hojo]

God made man but he wasnt doing anything, so he made a woman and a woman convinced him of being scared and here we are. The only thing men care about are their fears. And then doing nothing. Being messy is not scary having to be clean is.

I’d agree. I prefer to stay with Women at their place because it’s clean, organized, decorated, and smells good. They also spoil me, cook and stuff. My place is pretty undecorated and there’s clothes everywhere. It’s just not a huge priority for me

@Alexop yes no need to get pissy
