WHY WOLVES HATE MEN & NOT WOMEN

Wolves generally FEAR MEN - Yes biological men spark fear into wolves and many wolfdogs. However, wolves will often feel comfortable with women. So why is this? Today we explain why this is and use Kai, Anneka's 16 year old son as an example of how to behave around a timid wolf if you are a man in order to get the best experience possible. Kai has been instructed to use certain body language by mum Anneka so that White Wolf Bosch is less scared of him....Will it work? Find out today.

It is true for humans too. Children are generally more wary of strange men than women.

[@lisamartin9831]

Yeah but THAT could be learned. Either by our society bias towards women being the caretaker for the child, or the way men are shown as more threatening (I mean they are if you look at stats, but like still). At the same time, a lot of men don't know how to interact with children, because they haven't been taught how to. What I mean is a lot of things influence children, studies have shown they can pick up things like racism as early as 5 years-old... I think they only absorb everything they experience, even the wariness of women, or even men towards stranger men.

My wife's cat was absolutely terrified of me when she first met me (I'm a man), but had much less of a problem with women. Over time, she's become very affectionate, especially after we moved in together, but I still notice that if I make my voice quieter and higher-pitched, make smaller movements, and don't stand upright at my full height, she's much more likely to give me lots of love. If I come in walking and talking normally, she might still run away from me, despite knowing me for most of her life. She's a very shy kitty and is also afraid of my wife occasionally - but still, the difference is noticeable. I've now developed a full-on "language" with her that I use to make her comfortable, and she loves it!

When my mother was a little girl (I'm 76), my grandfather came home one day with a wolf cub that still had it's eyes shut. He had come across a man selling the cubs out of his car truck out by Addick's Dam (Tx.). They bottle fed the cub & it had no problem with my grandfather or my uncle as they were part of his family/pack. My mother told me that the wolf didn't have a problem with strange men that came to their house until they spoke. She said that as soon as a strange man spoke the hair would stand up on his back & he would growl. The wolf didn't have any problem with young boys either, i.e., there was something naturally threatening about the deep male voice of a stranger.

Wolves do not react based of gender unless it is specifically direct trauma. However a deep voice general loud sounds in nature means danger or something threatening. A low voice is less threatening so naturally it is more accepting. This video is clearly biosed and likely romanticizing gender with nature. Wild animals especially the once who fear humans do not differ between genders and certainly doesn’t have in-depth perception.

BIG and DEEP. Those are the two words people need to remember. Animals see large size and deep vocalizations as intimidating.

Okay so this is wild to me. When I was a teenager, we were given a puppy from my mom's coworker, whose "husky" had gotten pregnant when a fox hound mix jumped the fence. She did not tell us she was illegally breeding wolfdogs. Of the puppies, ours, who looked the least like a wolf, was the only one to get the personality, and it came to us as quite a shock when he hit "puberty" and was suddenly acting different. (Long story short, we had a proper enclosure built and did our best for him. Fortunately we lived on a farm so we were more set up for "quarter wolf who thinks he's full wolf" than most people would be. Anyway, I always knew he did not like men, but never knew why. He was fine with my father but his reaction other men ranged from "stand-offish" to "please stay away from the enclosure, I'm pretty sure we built it right but he is definitely trying to kill you." I thought it was just him, never knew it was a wolf thing!

[@manymomath5466]

My Granmda used to care for a couple of wolves. A mother and a male puppy. They weren’t aggressive in any way, and I guess that was pretty rare. I wonder why wolves have preferences for genders in people, especially when most mammals typically don’t have a dominant gender. Wolves are one of them.

I think that because of the relation, the wolf may feel more comfortable around him because he smells SIMILAR to you. Like he can tell that Kai is your pup! Also, theory here, since Kai met the other wolf before puberty(deep voice, hair, larger stature, all caused by heightening testosterone) that may also contribute to why the wolf was more comfortable around Kai. So even though Kai is not an adult man yet, he is still experiencing puberty and is no longer a little boy. Which is why I think that the reason they were even okay with him being around is because he is related to you, Kai’s mother.

@@johnnyboygriffin5764 As I said i just reported what I was told by my friend based on his experience.

It just clearly means what i said: generally female cheetahs like everybody (even because he said they are less aggressive than males), but they quickly accept particularly women, which stands out, since he also said that usually male cheetahs instead do not like particularly women. It's just as simple as that and i don't see how it's being a "contradiction". Whether it's true or not, i cannot confirm since i never interacted with cheetahs, i trusted and reported what my friend said, since he lived several years close to them (in an almost domestic environment).

While stature is important for far away, your behavior up close REALLY matters. I’m a pretty calm quiet subdued person, and although I’m not a trainer, it is easier for me to gain the trust of high anxiety, stressed dogs. Gender is only half the battle. You need to be confident, because you’re anxiety will make them more anxious. But you can’t be overly confident because that is intimidating. You can’t be loud and boisterous, you can’t be towering over them. You have to respect them. I think it’s hard for humans to relate to animals, because we’re never really in similar situations (outside prison maybe). I think the most comparable is interacting with your dentist. You’re being put in a situation where you’re being constrained, submissive, and you have to trust the person above you isn’t going to hurt you. If your dentist was highly anxious, overly loud, flapping their arms everywhere, staring you directly in the eye while working on you….. that’s intimidating! And you asked to be put in that chair, the dog/wolf didn’t.

Another reason is because canines have slower perception than humans. There's a video on KZbin about how things look and sound to different species. For example, when you throw a ball, to humans it looks like it's speeding through the sky so quickly, but to canines it's going slow. This is how they're able to catch it with speed and accuracy. It's moving slowly according to their perception. The way they hear our voices is different as well. Higher voices sound pleasant to them. But deeper voices sound like "demonic" voices (what we would consider demonic). There's an entire section of research dedicated to this. It's quite interesting. The video explained the difference in perception with many different species. From dogs, to insects, ducks, etc. I think if you search "what the world looks like to dogs" you'll find it.

Wolves are such awesome animals and I've always been fascinated with them. Over a year ago, my dad told me about this story of a Chinese lady who managed to find and rescue the only wolf pup that survived because his parents were killed by hunters. She raised him with this other guy (I'm not too sure if they are a couple) and they planned to train him in and return him to where the wolf was born (of course, she also had to go out into the wild with him to find him a pack!). The entire journey of them doing so was quite arduous, dangerous but also very touching. When the lady was sick, the wolf knew and gave her a pika through the window, and when the lady and the guy were trying to take him back into the wild to look for a pack, they became reliant on him to hunt for food! Despite the lady stealing the pika from the wolf's hiding spot, the wolf still hid his food at the same hiding spot knowing that they were the ones stealing the food! Later on, after the wolf was successfully returned to the wild, the lady would go there to visit every few years, for the first few times, the wolf would run up to her and lick her, but later on the the wolf was wary of her because some humans killed the wolf's pups. This story is called return to the wolves and it's been written into two books (though in Chinese), and there is also a documentary (it's not as well made as a movie since it's pieced together with whatever recordings they managed to get). They are really worth checking out!

There's such a culture of ignorance around animals and nature, the sooner this changes the better.

@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I don't live in a religious area, so I don't think that's entirely the reason why, but I do agree that there's a problem with people growing up thinking humans are superior to other animals (we are just another animal after all) which might be partly the fault of certain religions. Another issue is a basic understanding of plants, animals, nature etc is not taught in schools here. So none of the children or parents can name any of the wildflowers for example, and they were calling Guinea fowl chickens. They just find birds and animals cute and funny without caring to understand them further, and they don't seem to notice trees and plants at all. There's a hugely fascinating world of nature to learn about and most people never bother to learn any of it.

A lot of dogs are like this with male strangers, especially when the dog is with their family. When I first met my wife and was brought home they had a Chow named Pepper. She warned me that Pepper would be overprotective and never get close to me. I told her she was wrong. (Her ex boyfriend had never been able to get close.) It took me less than 5 minutes to make friends with Pepper, a bit longer to be fully accepted. Rule #1 was to make myself less of a threat. I was considerably larger than her Ex, but knew that height was a threat. So I sat on the floor. Then I let the dog come to me. I made it easier to get my scent by reaching out a bit. (Easier for the dog to back off out of reach.) Then I gradually puled my hand closer to me. One I was able to give a snack and scratch behind ears, I was a friend for life. The funny thing was I was soon almost more accepted than my Ex and her family. I am not a big fan of pets, but for some reason they like me.

My dad had been ”followed” by a wild pack in his youth and he says that even if you panick, always remember that as long as you don’t fall down, you have a chance to get away without them trying to get you. They are patient animals and when it comes to “bigger pray” (humans instead of hares etc) they will most likely wait patiently untill you fall on your own before making their move. They know that if they visibly follow you, either you will try to run so you will easier stumble and fall, or you will in the end fall of exhaustion. I guess it’s different when they’re in captivity, but a good thing to remember is to try not to turn your back (goes for big cats too), don’t run and try to stay on your feet. As for me, when I was a kid, I saw 3 wolfs in the forest, but they just looked at me and kept going unbothered by my presence. Maybe because I was a child, maybe because I am female. I guess I will never know. But the reason people believe it’s a made-up story that I saw the wolfs is because most people think that wolfs will attack no matter what. And that is not true. I know that because I have experienced that, but also because I chose to before coming to a conclusion, to seek information first. Now I know that apparently testosterone can make them think differently about you. And as I use to say, you learn as long as you live. I don’t like when people say wolfs are “this” or “that”, making them sound like the most dangerous predator, because they are not. And they deserve us to understand them and to not hunt them “because wolfs are bad and dangerous”.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Humans are the most dangerous (and irresponsible) animal on this planet.

[@dragonslayer101]

Wolves are actually a keystone species,especially grey wolves. They have a vital role in the ecosystem and help regulate overpopulation of elk or caribou. It's dangerous if caribou or primary consumers overpopulate becuase if they do then they will lower the population of producers which will cause many species to die and the entire ecosystem to deteriate over time. This was proven a long time ago when grey wolves were in near extinction because humans kept over hunting them believing that they were dangrous and had no positive effect on nature. But when we found out their positive potential we captivated more of them and placed them in harmed ecosystems and in no time they healed the deteriorated ecosystems. It was amazing.

[@Jessknowsbestt]

Yes they most likely smelled that you were female and small and younger they saw you as harmless. Another comment stated the same that they experienced seeing a mom wolf giving birth and petted her and stayed with her meanwhile and she never growled or anything to her if anything she instantly trusted her and she was a younger girl to. Wolfs and coyotes tend to shy away from humans and hardly flat out attack a human unless they’re threatening to hurt them and most likely they’ll be intimidated by a bigger male.

So its only natural they're more accustomed and friendly towards men. Wolves on other hand are friendly towards women because of their voice.

[@googlefaps5883]

@@memecatmobile2287 lol. In the wild if ur seen as less intimidating ur more likely to get targeted as food. Obviously I can put it the other way round where if ur more intimidating they’re more likely to be violent so the male is targeted. But usually animals don’t consider more intimidating animals as food. Not unless u perhaps got a mother with their cubs and they can still take u on. There’s nothing definitive in nature but that’s a rule. It may seem cute to be seen as “not a problem” by wolves. But if ur a child in the woods with hungry wild wolves. It isn’t a gift.

It took almost 5 years for my wolfdog to finally be comfortable with my partner who is a tall man and she loved him so much in the last 2 years of her life. I'm glad he got to experience her love because she was so sweet.

[@anyascelticcreations]

I think it's the same for cats, too. I started feeding the feral cats in my area after their previous humans were gone. I didn't intend to tame them. I just wanted to make sure that everyone got food and no one had to fight with anyone else to do so. But very quickly the cats became tame. My neighbor, also female, joined in. Now all the previously feral cats are named and come running when I go outside and come when the neighbor calls. They want food, but also beg for pets with or without food. But a young man moved in with my neighbor along with his young wife. The cats have accepted the young wife, but not the man. He tries to become feiends with them. But only the tamest of them will come close to him. The young man doesn't seem all that masculine to me. But when I asked him to help his wife and I move a heavy box he picked it up as though it was empty. And when I asked him to carry a bag of dog food that I am no longer able to lift myself he picked it up like it was marshmallows instead of dog food. This without looking particularly strong at all. There is more to being biologically male than meats the eye. And animals are able to pick up on this, whether the man lifts anything at all. And they sense biologically female without my trying to tame anyone. Whether it's pheromones or something else the animals know.

[@powerandpresence5290]

Its true for human females as well. Women need to be much more aware of their surroundings, many times at night, etc mostly because of predatory male humans. And with very good reason.

[@basskitten808.]

​@@randomuruk7230what is nonsense about this? Objective reality states that this is true. Women are much more likely to be predated on by men than men are by women. How often do you hear of a man being physically overtaken and kidnapped by a random woman or how often do you hear swathes of women gang raping men during war like what happens in third world countries? Very rarely. And if these acts do happen to men - it's more often than not by other men. It's weird when some men find offense to this fact. As long as you, yourself isn't guilty of it - you're all good but a good portion of your fellow males do have a problem with it and if reality offends you - that's your problem.

It's interesting to wonder whether the preference for female humans amongst most animal species had an effect on why most dieties in human religion responsibile for the forest and the beasts that dwell within happen to usually be goddesses, not gods. Even the idea of "Mother nature," seems to admit to this.

[@morighani]

yes, it’s the yin energy which is present more strongly in females.

[@skyworm8006]

Not at all. Mother Nature is about fertility and nurturing to create and sustain human life, specifically about farming rather than the wilderness (which no one cared about the growth of back then). As it's farming that a lot of premodern cultures are based on. Famine and failed crops is the antithesis, as everyone dies. So the earth's fertility and the rains are the most important things set above all else. The earth is a womb. It's all associations with humans.

[@NoodleStar]

Always loved the mythology of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, wilderness, the forest and the moon! IIRC Homer even called her "the mistress of animals". EDIT: Just looked her up and it seems like she was also both, the goddess of childbirth and goddess of sudden death! Very interesting, like she is two sides of the same coin and full of complex symbolism.

The title provoked the men to come out and comment 😂😂 I need popcorn while read

[@Shivansh-nj8qe]

Provoked? It's natural animal response, what's there to be provoked? Every wild animal except the white polar bears are scared of human males. Because first, humans no longer live in jungles so they have no idea what they're capable of. Second, low pitched, deep voice, followed by taller posture, wider chests and confidence strikes them as being the predator, so they get scared. *It's easier for a man to escape a hungry black bear without weapons than for a woman* . It's not that wolves love women, in animal kingdom, it's either predator or prey, nowhere in between, a wild wolf will happily eat a woman as they won't be threatened by them, while for a man, it's easier to escape(though not 100 percent guaranteed but odds are much more in favor) In the end, it all comes down to the magical compound, testosterone. :)

[@somnorila9913]

I remember seeing a clip from Mark Rober i think about trained police dog hunting him where they talked about how dogs have their nose so complex that can "see" traces of individuals. Also in the same or different video about dogs being trained to smell diseases in people. So their olfactory sensor is so powerful that can intercept a lot more information that we probably can completely understand right now. In a sense i think it can be compared to our communication, like the difference between written, verbal and non verbal communication. We transmit and perceive a lot of information during non verbal cues that we don't even realize in a conscientious way but we do react to. So from that point of view i would assume that the wolfs perceive through their senses human males differently because males are different than females and they get some info cues that might be a native trigger to them hence why they react differently, more defensive, it's a evolutionary reflex more than likely.

[@chrispocream2262]

I think this can apply to other animals aswell. Our dog is scared of adult men, even my father who she has lived with for quite a while. Even when my father would play with my younger brother she would let my father know by barking if she thought they were not playing carefully, but if I'd do the same as an almost grown woman she would not say anything.

[@ameliam96]

My dog is similar! She will always greet female strangers but barks at and gets scared of men she doesn't know. She takes a lot longer to warm up to our male friends, especially those who are taller/larger men.

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

Monkeys are often the same way. It can depend on breed though. My grandmother had 5 monkeys and one was a spider monkey who was particularly bonded to men. He was just biologically predisposed to prefer human men more than women. He loved my uncle because my uncle has facial hair and he would hug his head and run his beard over his own face. He also sit on my dad’s shoulder or in my grandfather’s lap.

i think male speices of any kind presive other male pieces as "threat" or "challenge". and female of any species has always been known to be nurturing and affectionate that's why male animals gravitate towards the female humans. kinda like how they also gravitate towards the human babies than adults. because they are harmless.

Reminds me of when I met a male dog, I don’t remember what breed but he was a big as a German Shepherd, who had been tortured by his previous male owner. For obvious reasons he didn’t trust men or even teenagers at all but was very affectionate towards his new mama. I didn’t need to be told that this poor dog had been traumatized because I could tell from how he looked like me. So in response I relaxed, stood perfectly still and didn’t speak. I did however look at him and did my best to show that he had no reason to be afraid. No more than 20 seconds later he approached me and asked for pets. Not sure if it’s similar to this case but his mama did tell me that I was the first male he was comfortable to be around and she had him in her care for years. Either way the basic message is the same. Don’t do anything to scare dogs or wolves and Earning their trust takes time and patience.

As a man I have had numerous types of animals that didnt fear me and could be near me, and ones that were on rare occasions "afraid". I have had horses that didnt mind me and tried to chew on my hair out in the mountains, yet some were scared if they were trampling crops and I ran em off. One thing I learned long ago is that sometimes, without really trying, or maybe doing it unconsciously...I can appear to some animals as if "not there". Not invisible because clearly they can see me, but I have had different creatures, especially dogs from small to big, do double takes with me, and sometimes they act...almost as if they dont believe I am there at all. They come up to me, sniff me, sometimes the big ones even stand on hind legs and put paws on me and try to look at me. So I just pet em or say "down pup". Usually they comply and most wag their tail, but I still wonder if its only after being assured that I am there, and they take relief at that knowledge after the fact. And other experiences too. Lifs "nuts" for us menfolk lol. BE well.
