10 Things I Wish Men Knew About Women
I recently spent a good two hours helping a friend navigate his way through an argument with his girlfriend. I tried to leave any bias aside and use the bit of psychology I know to help him effectively communicate what he wanted to say.
But like many relationships, my friend lacked a basic understanding of women. For me, it was clear as day what she wanted from this argument. For him, not so much.
I am totally for equality, but men and women are different. And in more ways then what’s underneath our clothes. The genders think differently, feel differently, and their needs are, most often, different.
So while I don’t blame my friend for what I saw as obviously clear, I do think it could better help the male species to understand a bit about the female psyche.
Because though you think you may have it all figured out in the bed (but please know, you probably don’t), it will better help yourself if you figure out what’s going on in her head too.
1. Women Operate From A More Emotional Place
And that’s not a bad thing. Women are often portrayed as overly emotional on TV and in movies, and to be frank, that’s kind of complete bullshit.
