how can a man understand what its like to be a woman?

Answer 1

Only unless he wants to understand her and that she is open with him in the first place.

Men can understand women but it does take effort and a commitment and a willingness to want to understand her. More men are beginning to understand women than ever before even though there are always going to be differences between the sexes - that will always be that way to some level. But we live in far more enlightening times and there is a lot more information around about the habits and behaviours of women more than any other time in history.

A woman is more emotional and largely because she is taught from an early age that this is acceptable to show emotions wherease, men are taught to be more in control of their feelings. It is natural for both sexes to express their feelings whether they are a man or a woman and a man who cries, is truly a strong man because he isn't afraid of showing his vulnerability.

A man has to want to be open to exploring his own feelings before he explores those of the woman. This is what makes men undertsand women far more than if they are shut-down from their own feelings.

Answer 2

There is no way a man can understand what it's like to be a woman.

Answer 3

It depends on what traits you are speaking of. If it is just the physical aspects of being a woman, there is no way for you to know. However, if what you are seeking is their emotions and thoughts, get yourself some good female friends (keeping it platonic-no sexual aspects) and ask them tons of questions!!!!!

Answer 4

Men will never completely understand women and vice-a-versa.

But, we can come close and learn from each other. Reading books and communicating honestly is a good place to start.

I personally like the book "His Needs, Her Needs". Try it out.

Answer 5

i really dont think its possible for a man to know what its like to be a woman and if we did wed realise they deal with a lot more crap than we know about i think wed develope a new sense of respect for women if we were able to understand them and know what its like to be them

Answer 6

if men got over their macho ways and let themselves be more sensitive, they would have no problem understanding women.
when a woman talks to you quit what your doing , look at her and listen, don't be afraid to talk about your feelings (contrary to what guys think,it doesn't make you less of a man to do that.

Answer 7

it is one of those things in life that you will never understand, because your a man same applies to women they will never understand a man. this is because we have different hormones. men can identify with other mens problems and vice versa with women however men who try to understand women fail missrebally becasue they strat thinking like a man! confusing isnt it.

women need to be pampered and clean, they need constant attention, i believe that women can be a bit like cats, beatifully grommed, inteligent, cunning and caring however they bite!

hope i can help you!
