Do men have a need for control?

This is irony right?
I have met countless female control freaks compared to men.
How many times do you hear a man say " I thought I would be able to change her?"
Things I have heard girls say just in my circle of friends in the last few weeks-
"He spends spend more time at rugby than with me"
"He thinks more of that car than he does of me"
"He is scared of commitment"
" Do you think it is unreasonable of me to delete somebodies number from his phone and not tell him?"
All from different girls.
I have never seen a man be jealous of an inanimate object.
You do get male control freaks but female outnumber them by miles.

I like control. I don't like arguing. Go figure.

Oh I get it now. It is irony.
Very good, you had me going there for a minute.

You dislike whatever they're doing and they're the controlling? Hypocritical much?

How does that work?

Believe me, women can be the most controlling. They have a secret fear that someone will pinch their man or that their man might cheat or look at another woman. God help you if you marry one and have a child because her level of control will increase when she knows she holds the whip hand. Best not to get involved. Who needs it?

Good troll those reactions are good 8/10

It's not a secret fear it's very real. Men are visual creatures, women know this and use this to their advantage, an ego if you will. I know girls like this.

The first example with your brother watching rhe kitchen sounds weird. How old are you? Does your kitchen regularly get attacked by Dick and Dom or the Borrowers?

The second example with seconds, the guy sounds greedy and selfish oc, but 'control.issues' I am.not getting this. You have not explained how he rationalised the decision and if it is this bloody obvious that no one else gets any then his argument sounds crap anyway.

Both examples.involve.feeling anxiety in food or places where food is located that you are not fully in control of. Ironically this would suggest YOU have control issues-I have control issues around food too.

throughout this you make a sweeping statement about men being inferior and insufferable to live with, using a rather no-win scenario to counter argue because your very argument is predicated upon the notion that any man who disagrees with you has regressed to a child like attitude.

without further evidence for your rather gross claims yet vague examples, I can only conclude that you are either a sexist troll (possibly male) or a misandrist with controlling tendencies.

Lol, That's my point, it's weird and not rational making me think it's to do with this need for control or to control something especially when they have none.

I don't think it's has anything to do with food, I think it's because it's shared and the easiest target, can't really control who goes to the bathroom.

Women know how to be in control, I think men just want control, simply because you're men.

Erm no? There are different reasons for men wanting control and such. Some women don't know how to be in control due to different circumstances and so you can't just assume that just because men want control does not simply mean they are men. Don't use gender as an explanation for some men's desire for having control; it's like me saying to a transgender "oh you can't be a woman because you're a man and therefore you are too manly to be a woman". I can't choose a person's gender just like how you can't speak for the majority of men.

That`s the root problem right there - trying to change men into what you want them to be. If a guy told you how you could behave, or tried to tell you what you could wear when you go out, it would rightly be described as an abusive relationship.

More importantly do you agree with OP's shocking statement 'women know how to be in control [i.e. are in control or could be if they so desired], men need to be in control [but fail, because men have no control]'?

On a couple of occasions, I have been in disagreement with a few males a know in my life.

The patterns follows as so: I dislike whatever they are doing, which turns into a little spat; concluding with both sides still disagreeing or them regressing to some child like attitude.

My question is, I'm I just smarter than these guys or it's an innate natural desire for control (if so should I just back off and let them have control), because it only happens with guys.

Don't you think this is a very sexist sweeping statement?

Yeah but it's a relationship/partnership, there has got to be give and take, there has to be compromise and sacrifice. Telling someone what to wear compared to telling someone to wash the dishes more often or clean up after themselves, even though it's not in their nature to isn't the same.
