If men are labeled as bitter, people ignore them and avoid them. They don't want to try and befriend them. Instead these bitter men get ignored and this just increases their anger with society. Whereas women would get the sympathetic attention from society. Women would side with her and men would agree with everything and tell her everything will be alright. But for men? Nothing. Why is that?
Have to disagree but it applies to women also. No one likes being around a bitter person. A good example is the women who's been married 4-5 times and her mind is full of venom and bitterness. My MIL was that way about life.
You can only listen and be exposed to so much bitterness before it starts to bring you down. There is a certain amount of bitterness a man is allowed after a bad relationship or divorce. But after a period of time it becomes unhealthy and turns him into someone no one likes.
"Bitter"... hmmmm... we all have these thoughts and have, "at times" felt bitter. I believe it is OUR CHOICE of how we "wake up" in the morning with a smile? and "what can I do to make this a good day"... if you feel that someone has "done you wrong"... Learn from the lesson, don't judge others regarding the others actions. Learn what it is that makes YOU smile or happy and concentrate on those activities. Remember that old saying... "Don't dwell on the negative... dwell on the positive".. if you find that difficult to do.. then maybe it is time to seek the advice of a professional.. nothing wrong with that by the way.... Happy thoughts to you...

Disagree. Bitter women are treated no better or worse than bitter men. Your perspective is skewed here for some reason.

Don't want to say why......ok. It was a discussion I overheard and am trying to remember it. But alcohol and a hangover don't help the memory. Anyways I am not a bitter person. But I see that many people as they age. Get some sort of bitterness. And it festers, etc. Too many people don't know how to relax and take it easy.

Wow...bitter? Much? No, you're absolutely wrong. Perhaps, initially, people will try and befriend a bitter woman, but once they realize that they're simply bitter people, instead of temporarily hurting, that doesn't last! No sane person wants to spend time with bitter, self-pitying, angry-at-the world people, whether they're male or female. The trouble with truly bitter people is that they completely self-absorbed. Everything that's happened to them is far worse than anything that's happened to others. No one has suffered as much as them. If they have, they're just stupid, dimwitted people who LET themselves be hurt. These people have played the victim card for so long that it's the only card in their deck.
Bitter people have no compassion for other people. If you share something that's happened to you (and it can be awful), they will minimize it and have a story that one-ups yours....cuz it's not the SAME thing. Everyone out there has had something really awful happen in their lives. Everyone you meet has suffered. Many of these people have been through a whole lot worse than you have. The difference is this...they choose to try to live in TODAY...to have faith that anything they're going through now is survivable. They also have enough consideration for other people, to not burden them with their woes...because they don't WANT to bring others down...they don't WANT pity from others. SOME people accept the responsibility and blame for bad things happening in their live and do not look to victimize others for their own poor choices.
Some people get kicked in the groin enough and it becomes hard not to be bitter. Funny thing is most of the time it's their own fault for making bad decisions.
But when really bad things happen to good people it can be tough not to be bitter. One of the great things about most religions is they people heal by knowing there is a final justice we all must face.

That is exactly the opposite of what I have come to notice in here. I can often tell immediately that a post or thread is coming from a younger person with the increase of bitterness. It appears to be more younger men are extremely bitter, at least in here, than they're older or more seasoned counterparts.
