What kind of man terrifies you the MOST
WHAT kind of man terrifies you the most as a woman in Jamaica? It’s a question we posed to a few women, as there have been increased reports of crimes against women. What’s the first red flag? Are there even red flags?
These are the women’s responses:
AT, 21:
All of them terrify me because you don’t know a person’s true colours. In the beginning they will be doing everything right, but when they feel like it’s time to start foolishness they will.
I think all men are the same. I feel like they test to see how much you can take. But if you give up and start living your life, that’s when they become a stalker and try to guilt trip you.
But I feel the worst type of man is when you were friends first, but in a relationship they are completely different.
LW, 21:
I’m wary of the self-proclaimed nice guys. They are the worst. Mi can love a johncrow, no problem, because what I see is what I get. However, those men who proclaim to be nice guys are truly wolves in sheep’s clothing. Dem a walking red flag.
Ashley, 25:
A manipulative man terrifies me. I have encountered this type of man before and they are the most dangerous types of men, in the sense that they would have done you wrong and still find a way to lie and twist it around on you. They hurt you in the most intense way and feel no way about it and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Tashika, 33:
The men that terrify me the most are men that abuse women, not just physically, but verbally, psychologically and emotionally. They often start off with innocent jealousy and a bit controlling, to full on maniacs.
Talya, 25:
Insecure men terrify me the most. I believe insecurity can be a silent but deadly weapon and is the source of many failed relationships. Physical, verbal, emotional abuse and other acts of domestic violence are all built on insecurities — whether it is insecurity masked as jealousy or perhaps the fear of his partner being insubordinate, once a man feeds his insecurities, he automatically opens the door to other issues.
Claris, 71:
I am terrified of men who objectify women and harass women for sex. These men view women as sexual objects or possessions.
Ralesha, 25:
I don’t like men who have commitment issues. Based on my experience, because he doesn’t know what he wants, he can’t even be sure about me. Also because of this there seems to be a lack of commitment in most aspects of his life.
Shara, 25:
I dislike men who are generally liars or users. I can’t deal with dishonesty. I have dealt with these kinds of men. I find that in serious relationships these types of men like to survive on excuses and pride themselves on continuing a lie or stringing people along as much as possible. They are oftentimes cheaters or as I like to put it, dem cyaan satisfy so they lie and build up a string of women with no intentions of actually bringing value or growth to the relationship.
