Do women exaggerate how mean their boyfriends are? To get attention?

I sometimes get that feeling.

Like "oh my boyfriend said really mean stuff to me".
"but I love him he's so hot"


Sometimes I think women make that crap up for attention.

Otherwise, why wouldn't they just leave and find someone nice, and attractive?

It's not that hard.

No...it's not that easy for many...for a variety of reasons.

Hate to break it to you but sometimes people are major jerks to the people they know will put up with it.

If you can't have empathy towards otgers...just ignore them and move on.

Sometimes I think men are mean to women to get attention. And yeah, it is pretty damn hard to find a decent person who you get along with and is attractive, funny, smart, and loyal, especially in today's world.

I don't know any women who do that. Perhaps you need to upgrade your social circle?

According to my husband at least for him- he said he would say mean stuff because he knows it would shut me up. Thus I will say that yes maybe guys can be mean but most of the time we bring it on ourselves. I'm not condoning verbal abuse or anything like that so don't take it that far.

Thereally are articles telling guys to be mean (short of beating) to women to keep the upper hand in a relationship and keep them off balance.

The OP is a bit naive it seems when it comes to people and relationships.

OP, I've known guys whose gf's were mean to them, and bullied them to get their way. These guys were convinced that there was no one else out there for them, in spite of being surrounded with evidence to the contrary, including women who shared their unusual interests, hobbies, and life experiences. It would have been pretty easy for these guys to find a new gf, one that was more down-to-earth and mature, and kind. But they were blind to that. It seems incredible, but some people need to mature a bit before they realize they do have options, and also--that being alone is better than being with someone you're incompatible with and who's mean to you.

Yup. Plus, he seems to be hanging out with an immature crowd. Anyone who says "he's mean to me, but he's so hot!" doesn't sound like the kind of person you'd want to surround yourself with.


OP, you've observed those women aren't making the best choices. You could make better choices yourself, too. Look for people who reflect your (hopefully) good sense and values, for making friends.

No Infact it's the opposite way as a lot of women are embarrassed by people knowing about " their mean boyfriend " and try to keep things out of the public eye.
