Shout out to my best friend for inspiring this post with a convo we had earlier.
It's no secret that in some relationships, people get screwed over. However, I always think about women getting screwed over by that jerk of a guy...I guess that's because I'm part of the female club. But, men get messed up just as much as women do. Women can be just as manipulative and conniving, if not more.
So, the question: What's worse--a woman scorned or a man scorned?
Women often times are the ones to reference their past experiences with their friends and are quick to say, "Well that terrible guy I dated did this so your guy is going to do the same." But, is that scorned or just jaded? Men won't draw such silly parallels...but once they've been effed up, they're pretty much at the point of no return.
I'm no psychologist so I don't know WHY this is but I would guess it's because it's much harder for men to let their guards down so once they do, it's going going gone. Women are MUCH more tolerant than men and while no heartbreak or betrayal is easy to bounce back from, women are more likely to put that memory deeper and deeper into the back of their minds until the memory has virtually dissolved. Men may stick that memory in the back but it doesn't go away quite as easily.
So. The simple answer. In my humble opinion, a man scorned is much worse.
This is the part where I write a witty sign off. I got nothing tonight. Don't scorn, don't scar, don't screw with people. Men need love, too.
Love freely,
tY
