Learning to understand women

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.
