What lies do women tell men? Why do women lie to men in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Rollo Tomassi, the author of The Rational Male<\/em>, there are three lies women tell men: 1) men are privileged, 2) women are mysterious, and 3) women like nice guys. He argues that women tell these lies to dominate men as part of the “feminine agenda.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s examine each lie in turn along with the underlying truth, according to Tomassi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Lie #1: Men Are Privileged<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tomassi says that the first lie women tell men is that any action or belief that threatens women\u2019s dominance is \u201cmale privilege.\u201d The lie of male privilege, says Tomassi, is designed to guilt men into sacrificing their interests to the further advantage of women. Men are always encouraged to \u201ccheck\u201d or give up their alleged privilege and to empower women\u2014sacrificing their interests in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Tomassi believes the truth is that women are in control<\/strong>. They shape the overarching narrative and social conventions in our culture, which all serve women\u2019s interests. This is why, Tomassi says, it\u2019s common practice to ridicule or attack anyone who makes a statement or action that challenges women\u2019s priority\u2014calling them sexist, juvenile, or out-of-touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digging Deeper Into Privilege<\/strong>

Although Tomassi argues that women, not men, enjoy privilege, it\u2019s not clear what his definition of privilege is. A commonly accepted definition is an unearned special right or advantage available to people because of their membership in a particular social group<\/a>. Using this definition, let\u2019s examine Tomassi\u2019s claim about female privilege on two levels: the institutional privilege that plays out in a broad cultural context and interpersonal romantic relationships. 

First, in terms of institutional privilege, women earn 84% of what their male counterparts earn<\/a>, with Black and Hispanic women earning less than White women<\/a>. Among human trafficking victims, 71% are women and girls<\/a>. Also, women make up only 27% of Congress<\/a> even though they make up 51% of the population. Further, women are at greater risk for rape and domestic violence, pay more for clothes and personal care items, and face hiring barriers in multiple industries<\/a>, including tech, business, and the media. So, arguably, women do not enjoy key advantages men enjoy, which limits their social mobility<\/a> and influence.

On an interpersonal level, both men and women report power imbalances in their relationships. However, how these imbalances manifest show that the stakes are higher for women<\/a>. Women who say they have less power in a relationship often report being subjected to coercion and abuse. In contrast, men who say they have less power often describe their partners as controlling but don\u2019t report any physical or emotional abuse. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lie #2: Women Are Mysterious and Unknowable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second, women promote the lie that they are complex and enigmatic. They perpetuate the lie of the unknowable female by <\/strong>saying one thing and doing another\u2014their default mode of communication. Furthermore, Tomassi argues that whereas men clearly say what they mean, women don\u2019t<\/strong>. They allow emotions to dictate their reactions, which keeps men constantly guessing about women\u2019s true intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to accurately determine a woman\u2019s intentions, Tomassi advises, is to observe her actions. He contends that women\u2019s behaviors provide the only<\/em> evidence of their motivations\u2014and that their true motivations often lie beneath their conscious awareness, so men are wise to never trust the justifications women give for their behaviors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Tomassi insists that women communicate<\/a> in a manner that is consistently and often intentionally misleading and that men should therefore trust only women\u2019s actions<\/em>. However, he provides no supporting evidence for this claim. There’s mixed research on this topic. According to one poll, women are twice as likely to lie as men<\/a>, which researchers attribute to women having more empathy and being \u201cnicer\u201d than men. By this logic, women lie because they want to shield people from unpleasant truths. Other research shows that men are more deceptive than women<\/a>, consider themselves better liars than women<\/a>, and get away with lies twice as much as women<\/a>. That said, all of these generalized findings obscure nuances of communication and don\u2019t lead to clear conclusions about any one gender writ large.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lie #3: Nice Guys Are Unique and Women Want Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last lie women tell men is that they want \u201cnice guys\u201d who, they say, are few and far between. Women disingenuously lament that most men are cocky meatheads locked in an outdated version of masculinity. This leads them to be insensitive, overly aggressive, emotionally distant, and out of touch with what women want and need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomassi says this is blatantly false. In reality, he explains, most men are<\/em> \u201cnice guys\u201d\u2014caring, compassionate, supportive, and accommodating to women\u2019s needs\u2014because they\u2019ve been socialized to display qualities that women say they value. In effect, Tomassi says, most men have become like women\u2014in the misguided belief that doing so will make them more attractive to women<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But men disadvantage themselves, Tomassi explains, by being nice and embodying feminine qualities. Why? Because women are not actually drawn to nice guys. Rather, they are drawn to guys who stand out from the pack. Men who act cocky and selfish, Tomassi insists, will be noteworthy and will appeal to women most<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, women never say what they really want. So, even though a woman says she wants a nice guy, she actually wants a man who is confident enough to prioritize his own interests and beliefs\u2014an indicator that he will be a good provider and protector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
