“Not How Girls Work:” 14 Very Stupid Things Men Have Said About Women And Their Bodies (New Pics)

Previously we spoke with the general practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D. She told us how little men know about women’s bodies. In fact, there was a YouGov study in the UK conducted in 2019 which asked British men to label a diagram of female genitalia. The doctor said that the results “were actually abysmal” and that "well over half of the men surveyed could not label the [private part] or [private part], and the majority could not point out where it is that urine comes out."

"There may be a perception from some men that they can get away with not being able to name visible parts of a woman's body, and still understand enough to know what has to go where. But that sets the goalposts pretty low. Things were made a whole lot better with just a bit more know-how whatever the starting point may be, there's always more that can be learned," she explained.

Some time ago, we also spoke about so-called nice guys with counsellor & psychotherapist Tati Silva, who said that a man who is physically less attractive tends to compensate by being nice to be able to connect to people. However, Silva said they will overcompensate with over-the-top behaviors. "The nice guy will use all the tools to charm the person they are interested in. However, if it is not replicated, the nice guy's true colors come to light," the psychotherapist explained.

It turns out that a nice guy also has a sinister side. “In the mind of the nice guy, the person he is pursuing should repay his action by becoming his girlfriend or boyfriend; for him, that is how these things work. The nice guy will lash out if he does not get what he wants, which might be indirectly influenced by misogynistic entitlement complexes."

According to Silva, misogyny occurs unconsciously and it usually can be linked back to hatred that forms early in life, often as a result of a trauma involving a female figure. But like everywhere, there are exceptions and the psychotherapist warns that “this doesn't apply to everyone.” “There are genuinely nice guys and girls out there who will be okay to be put in the friend zone, respecting your opinion. They won’t expect anything back,” she concluded.
