Do male coworkers hate when female coworkers know more about something or give them advice?

You would have to ask every male co-worker that same question. Every person is different, and that includes men.Do male coworkers hate when female coworkers know more about something or give them advice?
It really depends on circumstances and personalities (someone's make-up). I (female) am on my own with my boss (male) in the department. We have our differences (sometimes big) because he is ';my boss'; and wants to keep it that way, but at the same time I feel he really depends on me because I can see the details while he just goes through issues without thinking things through, and then things go wrong. Then it's up to me to correct them. I can see him squirm whenever he has to ask me for help, and also when I advise on why something isn't working and how it might work. I've worked with him for 7 years now, and I suppose we can work together, but I don't like it when he gets the laurels for what I have done and even worse, when he drags me down with him when things don't go well.
Yes, but....................





they'll feel that way any ways be it male or female who demonstrates superior knowledge !





The trick is to not let it bug you ! One ought to look at such circumstances as an opportunity to demonstrate how open-minded you are to others' ideas and inputs, a chance to show willingness, cooperation and dedication to your common goals.





In the long run your own remuneration/promotion/longevity may depend more heavily on your ';fitting in'; than on some special knowledge you may happen to possess----besides with attention paid in the right places and enough drive defficiencies of knowledge can be overcome---doing so demonstatrates iniative and is a laudable sign of character !
There are some people in this world who erroneously think they know more about something and then try to force their misguided advice on others.





If you are feeling that people are disliking your ';knowledge'; and ';advice'; perhaps you should really verify your information.
I think it depends on the coworker. We all hate the know-it-all, but often feel grateful when we get advice from a well experienced person.
Nah! we are mostly happy a girl is talking to us XD. But if the girl is just trying to be a no-it-all then yea, or rub it in our faces then yea.
Only if they are obnoxious about it. I practice gentle correction and don't mind the taste of it myself. But I hate jack ars*s male or female.
