This is a very interesting and thought-provoking article. How do people anger and annoy other people? In my opinion, the article takes that thought to another level by asking the same question in a way that separates one gender from another.

Men upset women in the beginning stages of a relationship by leading them on or pretending to be into them emotionally to increase their chances of being with them sexually. Once in a relationship with a woman, a man might do things like talk to other girls in an attempt to make the woman jealous. Ignoring women is also a sure way that men can upset women, regardless of the reasoning behind it (see left photo). In fatherhood, men are known to pretend as if they don’t know what to do as to get away with not doing anything.

Women also use their “powers” to upset and manipulate men. In the beginning stages of a relationship, women pretend to be interested sexually and attempt to lead the man on. This allows the man to feel as though he will be getting what he wants, and the woman remains in control for a short amount of time. Once a woman is in a relationship with a man, she may begin to accuse her partner of cheating or may start to go through the man’s phone in an attempt to catch him doing something he shouldn’t be doing (see right photo). One more way in which women upset men is when they don’t communicate their needs and expect the man to read her mind.

I feel as though, regardless of gender, people manipulate other people to essentially get their way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. With that being said, I do believe that there is some truth to what this article is suggesting. I do believe that men use their emotional side to get what they want sexually. I also believe that woman use their sexual side to get what they want emotionally.
