One of my mothers friends absolutly hates men...like really hates...she blanks my dad completely even if he says hi and has apparently expressed this hatred of men. she acknowledges me though so i dont know if she "senses" anything. why would this happen? I mean luckily she is married to a woman (with the same name as her...different spelling) so nobody is being secretly hated. but its really weird....explanation?
Sounds like somebody with emotional immaturity, a degree of insecurity, and an unwillingness to resolve them, instead relying on them as a crutch of sorts to justify their behavior and outlook. Or, it's all a mistake in perception by others, and what is seen as hatred is just something else. Unless you know them very, very well or directly ask them, you can't know for sure.
yeah but she likes me and im a dude so what happened there? i dont know her that well but she is in her 30's so thats a long time
I go to school with a girl like that and she likes me too, even though I strongly imply that I dislike her. I don't really understand the logic behind it, but I would assume it's kinda the same as every other kind of prejudice. Why are people racist? Who knows, but they are. There are lots of very bigoted people, and I would imagine you kinda need a similar mindset to understand them.
this sounds very similar to my mothers friend but ive never implied i dont like her XD but yes you have a very good point there my friend
Well, you're gay, so maybe she makes an exception? Assuming she suspects or knows, of course. She could just be more comfortable with you for whatever reason, or simply hasn't shown any overt signs of hatred.
The OP is also young and may be seen as a "kid" to the lady. She may hate what she considers grown men.
This "blanket hatred" of all men seems a bit strong. How would she feel if she was told by your Dad that he hates all women? She'd probably kick up a fuss.
I wouldn't talk to this woman. If I met her, and she made some sort of exception for me because I'm gay, I'd tell her to fuck off. A lot of women seem to think that they have some sort of unity with gay men, but no.. you don't. I'd also be angry with my mother for having a bitch for a friend.
Probably some sort of trauma. I have a friend who's terrified of guys-to the point of being only able to talk to her close guy friends. She can't sit next to guys (anyone around our age also), let alone talk to them if it isn't to order food. It started when her ex cheated on her or somesort...stupid, but to them, it's a huge thing. But if she straight up refuses to talk to a guy, she's kinda...weird. I wouldn't say a bitch, but weird, nonetheless.
