Why don't men approaching Jane Austen?
It seems like 99% of people who love Jane Austen are women. My bf refuse to read any of the novels and is bored by the movies.
It's so incredibly witty and the relationships are so fascinating how could you not like it?
Answers:
I think because they don't have the patience to take the depths of her works. Because if you think about it Jane Austen was an extremely skilled writer and every word she wrote had something MORE to say. You have to be inwardly, emotionally matured to understand them. And of course you have to be that type of party :) I personally love how she writes...Details every single cell of every character, and the environment...everything. Fantastic. :) And really deep.
Because there is big difference between women and men when it comes to taste. Men don't usually like love stories. I remember when I be 11 and the Bridget Jones movie came out. All the girls loved it, but the boys sait was boring and all lovy dovy. I am not pretending to recognize mens taste, but I think they like more behaviour that to poeple in love who wants to escape together because their social differences don't allow them to be togehter. Men and Women are very differnt that approach and they always have. Why do you think most inhabitants in the military (who wants to be there) are men, because they like more dealing than women do.
Lack of emotional intelligence and construal of the word subtlety.
My favourite is Northanger Abbey. I'm male.
Lol at the irony of ''Little Miss Poopie Pants'' calling Jane Austen silly.
I love Pride & Prejudice! It's one of my favourites.
Sense & Sensibility and Mansfield Park be alright.
I'm a little way through Emma, and it seems pretty suitable.
However, in all her novels, the writing is fantastic. I love how they yak!
I don't know why men don't read Jane Austen. Actually... come to think of it... I'm sure lots of men don't like reading books from female points of view, whereas women read from both.
Interesting question.
I wonder if Harry Potter would have been so trendy by both genders if it was Harriet Potter?
Because it's boring and silly.
I don't really get this any. Austen is fantastic. Pride and Prejudice is just about my favorite novel ever.

I don't ike her writing either, and I am a woman. Austen is plain boring. Bronte sisters be way more creative.
guys don't like that stuff...at adjectives...that's one of the nine levels of hell for guys. Forced to read jane Austen.
Its not that I dislike Jane Austen. She is an amazing author, she happens to be my wifes favorite...but it is of late not what interests me. I like John Grisham, Dan Brown, Stephen King and the like. I will admit they are not on her plane but I am just not into books that are from the female character's perspective.
Jane Austen is a lezbo.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a man surrounded by possession of a good mind must be in want of a Jane Austen novel? ;-)
Actually not adjectives men hate Austen. Because it deals primarily with romantic relationships and beside female characters , guys initially find it a bit "odious" as Jane would say. But if you can get them to really inaugurate to peal back some of the layers and look at the amazing dialogue and individuality development they tend to warm to it.
My husband has well-read to appreciate Austen novels through my love of them. I'm not saying she has become his favorite author, but human being a guy who enjoys observing people and their idiosyncrasy he has come to appreciate her work. It's taken some years though. As he has mellowed a bit next to age the Transformer movies hold less charm for him while Jane has risen in his estimation. Maybe duplicate thing will happen for your bf in time.
After adjectives, there's a reason she is still so popular after 200 years. Somehow I don't think the Transformers will fare so well 200 years from immediately.
men are intimidated that Jane has a larger penus than they do.
I guess its considered chick lit, most of it is romance and guys usually steer clear of romance. They're missing out!
