It’s safe to say they call
men the opposite sex for a reason. Men and woman may share some similar
qualities, but for the most part, it’s fair to say we are extremely different. From the way we walk to the manner in which we speak, men handle their day to day lives with a different attitude and actions that women would
never think to take. I’ve compiled the top 5 things every woman should
already know about men. Ladies, you just might learn something, but then again, I hope you already did.
1. Men Want to Feel Needed. This
may come as a surprise to you, but it’s true. Although women are
considered the needier sex, men do crave attention as well. Today, women
are all about independence, and although your man might be all about
that, he wants to still feel in charge. Men are eager to impress and enjoy being helpful. It makes us feel important and needed, something we all enjoy. Let us flex our manly qualities every once in a while. Can’t open that pickle jar or maybe that shelf is out of reach? Step back and let a him save the day.
2. Men Are Doers. Men
are action orientated. We’re all about handling situations rather
than thinking them over, which can get us into a bit of trouble on
occasion. For the most part, it confuses women. Women assume that because
men aren’t always vocal when it comes to emotions, that we may not feel
the same way. Before you jump down our throat, consider how we act
around you. Even if we doesn’t always say “I love you”, our actions may hold the true key to how we really feel.
3. Men Can’t Read Minds and Hate Trying to do it. This
should go without saying, but women often forget this one. Although
women are very intuitive and can read people and situations very easily,
men do not share the same talent. We don’t know why you’re upset, and likely won’t be able to get you the amazing birthday present you really want without you passing a few not too subtle hints. Don’t expect guys to know what’s the matter if you don’t speak up. If there’s something bothering you, or you want something from him, say it. Like my father would occasionally always tell me, “a closed mouth don’t get fed.”
4. Men Have Insecurities Too. Women are known for being too critical of themselves,
but men are also harsh when it comes to their own flaws too. They could
be body conscience and get hung up on certain aspects of their physical
appearance. Some don’t feel strong in the bedroom, while others just aren’t sure you find our jokes funny. You know how you sometimes ask how you look in that new dress just to hear how amazing you are? Compliments feel good. Guys think so too! Throw him a few compliments every once in a while to remind him how sexy and amazing he is. He will love you more for it.
5. Men Unwind Differently. When
there’s drama in the office or with family and friends, women like to
talk about it. Gabbing with the girls over a few martini’s is an all time favorite when it comes to letting off steam. For guys? Not so much. When
men are upset, they usually like to be alone and don’t enjoy discussing
the matter. Guys are all about solving problems quickly and
efficiently. Logically orientated, we prefer to keep silent and get
the job done, rather than worry about it and discuss the matter for days. When we need some alone time we stick to sports, or hang with the guys. That doesn’t mean we don’t want to be with you, or isn’t open to discuss his issues with you. It just means we need a break to breathe, assess, and sort it all out.
Men and women are very different, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put forth an effort to understand each other. Take note, men are action oriented creatures who need a self esteem boost every now and then to keep moving forward. Keep things open and positive, and your relationship with him will flourish...
