A man’s respect for women could be determined by personal experiences or even childhood traumas. If the guy who’s caught your eye isn’t capable of that, then you would need to take toime to consider some things. If you want to know if a guy respects women, watch how he treats you — and his sisters, mother, female friends and coworkers.

Watch how he treats other women — such as his mother or his sister. If he shows respectful behaviors toward them, it is likely that his actions will carry over to other women. While this isn’t true 100 percent of the time, a man who treats his female family members poorly may have little respect for other women. Likewise, if he finds working with women a challenge or won’t admit that his female boss has authority, he may not respect women.

Question whether he appreciates women’s beauty or objectifies it. Finding a woman attractive is normal and healthy. On the other hand, turning women into objects is a sign of disrespect.

If a guy tells you that he thinks you’re beautiful or compliments your new dress, he’s being respectful. If he stares at your chest or makes inappropriate comments, he is disrespectful.
