Is it true that women are more unhappier than men?
It is not easy to satisfy a women ,for they have high ideals,a perfectionist ,many insatiable wants and needs, more critical ,more competitive and more ambitious.Thats why more girls are going to the universities than boys.
To buy one pair of shoe/dress/handbag, a woman may walk the whole shopping mall or all the shopping malls in the town before she is satisfied with one that she likes .
After much deliberations , she may not buy it at that instant and goes home and regret about it.I have a daughter who is that way.
I advised her, if she likes it ,just buy it and dont think too much..Rather then go home empty handed and torturing herself mentally and then when she has made the decision to buy , no luck , that item was sold and out of stock.Darned!
Women of today has gained much freedom and independence and some are making more than the men. They have made an impact in every aspect of the soceity.
Women are redefining their roles in this new age.They are now equal and on par with the men ,though there are some bias systems that do not give them equal pay for equal work.
There are still gender inequalities in some industries or sectors of the economy.
The traditional thinking of women only belonging in the home and kitchen does not apply anymore in the modern world.
Women do have a choice to be a full time housewife or a working mum or the sole bread winner.They have more choices than men.
With this added on responsibilities of work and home, it is no wonder many women find themselves short changed.
They are now doing a man’s job and at the same time a woman’s responsibilities to the child and home. Their mothers only had to take care of the family and home .

They are financially helping their husband’s burdens, but sadly many husbands do not help much with the houseworks.With their wives working , the men can work less and relax more .
The men are happier, they dont have to foot the whole bill for the family and they can have some golf game with their buddies.
The demands from the work and the responsibilities of being a wife , mother and housekeeper becomes too heavy for her to shoulder.
Many tasks need to be done and she may not find the time nor the energy to complete them .With so many tasks still undone ,how could she feel happy?
She cannot relax and be happy. Her unhappiness may snowballed as the workload piled up.
She wants to conform to her ideals or to those around her but it is impossible to achieve singlehandedly.Her anxieties and worries grows and she becomes depressed.More women than men are depressed.
Whether she is married or single ,most women worry about their changing body image,physical attractiveness , their self esteem and are always not contented with what they have.
The fashion industry is making their plight worse with the new size ‘0′ outfits.Why dont the fashion designers use real persons?
Women have a longer ‘to do list’ and they cannot sit back and relax, they dont have the time to be happy..LOL!
She can be unhappy over many things, it could be her husband, the children , her in laws , her home , her boss, her friends and lastly herself..LOL!
The key to happiness is contentment and in the little things in life and not in having plenty of money, achievements or possessions.
If you want them to be happy , the men must give them tons of love , understandings and a pair of able hands to help lighten her workload..Ha!ha!

lol Personally I just felt women are more emotional and temperamental. I do think it’s the hormones. We can be up one minute and down in the slums the next over the most trivial things.
Well at lest I am. lol

Hi Helen,
Thanks for your frank views. You are 100% all women..Those hormones are volatile…erratic and whimsical..
Press her right buttons, you get love oozing out, press the wrong ones ,she will become ballistic..LOL!
A man must know how to navigate the path to her heart strewn with many booby traps and landmines…Kabooomed!!

Hi there =)
Are women unhappier than men? Well i guess yes and no. At least if we are unhappy about something we will talk about it. I mean the suicide rate for men is way higher than it is for women.
But at the same time i dont know whether you can specify is one particular gender is happier than the other.
I think that it comes down the what makes up happy in general? Well my answer to that would apply to the rules that allow us to be happy. Its not about the fact that there are less things to be happy about. Its that women especially have come up with too many rules in order to feel like they can be happy.
They think to themselves. Well ok, i gotta look great 24/7, juggle my job, my partner, my family, my friends and look after the house. There are just too many things to do .. or that we believe that we need to do, that we never take the time out to enjoy the moment.
I mean what is happiness anyways? Someone could send you some roses and that would make you happy. But the same roses could have been sent to another woman and this wouldn’t make her any more happier.
So i say the best thing to do .. is to chill out and take a breather once in a while. To remember all the wonderful things that your life is filled with already. So that you can appreciate what you have now, while still striving for what you want in the future =)
