Why are some co's valued more than others?

I never understood it, and I can't really give much advice aside from this: Keep doing what you are doing, hopefully they will come around. Some people just are like that. They don't appreciate what you do. Maybe your husband can take a "little break" not be as vocal. Let you shine in the spotlight for a little. Maybe that will allow them to listen to you. Or you can be the one to take a break. Let them see how much they need you or miss you helping them. Then they will begin to appreciate you. I did the latter method and it appeared to work. All up to you. Good luck!

I've chosen to take a break myself. I'm still playing, I'm just not speaking. No ones noticed at all that I can see. Our members suck :(

I dont know the whole situation but being a Co in my clan, I get more respect and ppl listening/asking for advice then most other Cos. I feel that this is because of a few reasons:

1. I communicate often and show alot of knowledge about everything pertaining to COC. (Im an addict)
2. I do well in wars. I only try to give advice when I can show them the strategy in action. So when I tell them they need to spread golems further/funnel troops/wait to drop wb or use X amount of troops, they know it can work.
3. Number two is probably the biggest reason they seek my advice or will jump on board when I add my two cents. They see me giving others advice and them sometimes (when deployed like instructed) getting good results from it.

If this is already the case with this other Co-leader, they may feel they have someone to go to. I dont know who does better in wars but that may play a part in it.

Of course there is always sexism. That will never go away. If your among a group that doesnt respect a females perspective, then thats doubtful to change.

In our clan, we have one female and I would like to think people would listen to her. She completly destroys everyone at her TH level and even higher. So if she were to tell a similar th level to do such and such, I would probably just back what she said unless I saw another option.

This is an odd and somewhat interesting case. I read through everyone's posts, and I think the general consensus:

• Your husband is more respected (not surprisingly)
• A high level is a key in getting attention
• New players in the clan follow long term player's examples

There's a lot more meat to why, but also maybe the players like more sharp criticism and don't like people trying to make them feel better. Stop beating the bush? Humans are vastly different. Other factors are pure instinct or a random preference.

I play a little more than he does and I'm older than him, but we are both the same th lvl, both have the same advice to give and both enforce the same rules. I'm never mean or harsh and am really nice to everyone, I chat to them daily about everyday stuff as well as about the game so that they know they are valued in our clan.
My issue is that not one person in the clan listens to a single thing I say, but the second the other co says exactly what I did they all jump in line and listen to him. I'm wondering why this is? Is it because he's a higher level than me? Or (I actually doubt it's this one) is it because I'm female? It's so frustrating as I worked really hard to earn my co title but it just feels like it means nothing now.

Recruiting hoppers and leechers off global by our younger members has been an issue in our clan for a while now, yesterday I addressed the issue and said that if hey really wanted to recruit then to do it on these forums. The other co jumped on and (for reasons I don't really understand why as we've always agreed that it's been an issue) said recruiting off global is now fine, therefore blatantly undermining me. Now people won't even donate troops when I request! So that was the final nail in the coffin I guess. I think I've run my course in that clan now and it's time to move on. Not exactly sure what to say when I go though :/

Let your reputation do the talking. Be an awesome player all round and people will really have no choice but to respect you. Here is what i do.

1. Treat everyone fairly and with respect and command the same of everyone else. Always be consistent
2. Use both attacks in war and do them well
3. Donate more than anyone else 98% of the time
4. When new people join be helpful and available for questions, get to know the rl person
5. Let your personality work its way into the game, let your good traits shine.
6. Be positive, nobody likes negitivity

I dont want to sound dumb, but my clan loves and respects me cause i love and respect them.

Don't think its a ♥♥♥ thing, don't even go there. Its just a matter of respect. Overtime people will begin to respect you more as they gain more trust with you. It won't happen right away. Be patient.

Also show some tough authority. Kick some disrespectful members or inactive ones. Make sure people know you mean business.

If I kicked anyone it would just cause arguments because no matter how awful, immature and ignorant the other members are the other co and the leader all think they're awesome
