Learning to Understand Women

Is she asking for advice?

Published by Anil Kumar under , , on 4:15 AM


Women like to share their problems with their significant others. Sometimes men perceive this as "she needs some advice". However this is not always the case. When a woman is sharing her problems and concerns with her man, most often she's telling all those things to him just because she wants to share, nothing more. A man must show his empathy (not sympathy) to her concerns, but it is inappropriate to offer any advice unless specifically asked for.

If the man feels an impending urge to intervene, it is best to start giving out advice slowly rather than blurting out "you should do it like this".

Summary: When a woman is telling a man her worries, listen carefully but do not offer corrective advice unless asked for. If the man must offer uninvited advice, it should be offered gradually, one piece at a time.

Kissing: perceptions of men vs women

Published by Anil Kumar under , on 8:40 AM


A team of specialists from State University of New York conducted a study to ascertain the perceptions of men and women during the act of kissing. Their observations are:

Women place more emphasis on kissing than men. Women use kissing as a method of:

1. Judging their potential partner

2. Later, to maintain intimacy
3. To check the status of a relationship

For men, kissing means increasing the likelihood of sex. Further, the study revealed men are less discriminating regarding whom to kiss. A man becomes less and less likely to kiss his female partner as the relation progresses. But for a woman, kissing is important throughout.

One of the specialists commented: "But the fact is women are more discriminatory than men. Men can just go out and spread their seed, but women have to take more responsibility because of the consequences and so they are likely to want to test more."

Summary: Women perceive kissing as a method of "testing" as well as "bonding" to their partner, whereas for men it's another step towards sex.

How to disclose disagreements

She does something you don't like. For example, she keeps mentioning her ex when she's in bed with you. You feel awkward, but say nothing because if you say something, you're afraid you'll make the situation even more awkward. How to let her know that you don't like this?

The natural response to this question will vary from person to person, but there is a "common pathway" that will work for most people.

That is: If you want to say something that you don't like about your partner, don't do it in the bed, don't do it during a busy day. You have to find a time when both of you are reasonably comfortable in your own privacy, and have enough energy to discuss something unpleasant.

A very common mistake is to just not say anything and wait for too long, and then burst open all of a sudden. Therefore it's important to let her know as soon as the situation is comfortable, because you have to be sure she's listening.

Summary: If there is a disagreement, you have to let your partner know at a comfortable time. Don't wait too long or the pressure will build up within, and it may burst open suddenly.

"Do you love me?"

Published by Anil Kumar under on 12:17 AM


For any man who has ever been in a relationship, there's a question their female partner keeps asking every once in a while. The question is "Do you love me?" Why do women ask this question even if they're 100% sure the man loves them? In some societies where marriage is permanent (that is, divorce rate is close to zero), married women will ask their husband "Do you love me?" even if they know that the man is bound with them like superglue and can't run away even if he wants to.

The answer is: Women keep asking the question "Do you love me?" to their men because they want verbal reassurance from them. In fact, a gentleman should always respond with "Yes honey, I love you very much" followed by a hug and a kiss.

Summary: Expect your girl to keep asking "Do you love me" every once in a while. A gentleman should respond to this question with "Yes honey, I love you very much" followed by a hug and a kiss.

When not to be funny

Published by Anil Kumar under , , on 12:08 PM


That girls like to have fun is a universal truth. "Girls just wanna have fun." They like funny guys, obviously. However, there are some situations when the man should not be expressively funny. One of them is when meeting new people. Let's take an example here:

Your girls' best friend is coming over for a couple of days. As soon as she arrives, you start being extra funny. This will not be liked by either of those.

Summary: Women like funny men. But the man should remember not to make the situation very funny with new people.

Silence please!

It has always been told that a good communication is essential for a good relationship........I 100% agree with this notion. But human brain (and hence life) is so complex, that we can't define what to do/what not to do with predetermined rules.............Exceptions and variations are always there.
That's why in some occasions it is better to keep silent, than to take initiatives for a conversation.
Sometimes during argument, we speak something really nasty an unacceptable things...The other person is so hurt that he/she prefers not to speak and to keep silent for a while and avoid the argument. All of a sudden you realize "God! What I have done?"......You know that you were wrong and you have crossed the limits...........In especial situation like this, it is better to keep silent for a while, rather than trying to start a conversation for explanations........small time separation gives you time to cool down your head, you start thinking clearly and you are somewhat over from the sever grief that you had received from your partner's acidulous remarks.

Summary: Always try to sort out problems with healthy conversations, yet one should 'know' some special occasions when he/she rather keep silent.

Do women like men who are flexible or rigid in character?

Published by Anil Kumar under on 8:53 PM


Do ladies like flexible men, or men who never deviate from their principles?

Answer is: Both.

Women like men who are flexible in their approach, are able to accept others' point of view with ease, and can change their direction if they feel it's right. For example, a woman argues in support of her decision to go for a job in another state, and the man accepts it after carefully weighing the pros and cons.

However, women like their man to have reasonably stable principles, and the man should never deviate from his basic principles. For example, there is a man who always have spoken the truth to his wife. After many years of marriage, there emerges a situation in which it is painful for the man to speak out the truth. In such a case, the women will most likely admire the strong character of the man if he sticks to his principle of speaking the truth.

Summary: Women like men who are flexible in their approach and open to ideas, but are determined at their basic principles.
