Ladies: How and what can a man do to understand women?

Question

- Women's feelings, thoughts, emotions, reactions, behaviour, interests, wants, needs, abilities, dreams, et cetera.

Answer 1

You're just beginning to understand. The only way to learn is to ask questions. Every person is wonderfully different. You will probably never understand every woman. Maybe start a conversation with one for starters. Ask questions. I guarantee she will talk and talk and talk and talk. As long as you keep asking questions. Read Men are from Mars Women are from Venus; great book. Easy read. You won't be able to put it down. It will provide valuable insight into the differences in communication styles between men and women.

Hope it helps to clear things up for you,
Take care,

Answer 2

Every woman is different. While there are simalarities, they're still different. The best thing you can do, is ask as many questions as possible, and keep track of moods. If the woman is introverted, she'll probably be more apt to have outbursts over little things, and it's only because she doesn't voice out her earlier concerns, and let's it all build up. While non-introverts tend to voice every little thing, they're not going to explode like introverts.

The best thing you can do, ask, and show an interest in what she says and explains. Don't be harsh, and do not blame mood swings on PMS, or anything of the sort. Do not show annoyance when she has mood swings, instead, be gentle and just let her know you're there for her. When she tells you what she likes, if it's weird, it's okay to laugh, but don't be harsh or look disgusted by it. She can take a little critism, but do not go all out laughing at her and pointing and criticizing her about her wants, needs, abilities, or dreams.

Those are too many things to cover though, really. Behaviour, feelings, thoughts, reactions and emotions are all linked together. Wants, needs, abilities, interested and dreams are all linked. But still, both intertwine seperately, and wholely. It's important to remember that all things are linked, even the most different things, can be more simaler than you'll realize. So if she says she's feeling depressed, that can be for a number of reasons, brain chemistry, or maybe she's feeling down because she feels she's not going to be able to put her best forth towards a test. If she's elated, that could be brain chemistry, or just because she achieved a major goal in life. Support her in everything she does, voice your own opinions, but leave room for hers, too. Woman want to feel superior, but not too superior, and we want to feel equal, as well. We voice our insecurities, in strange ways, sometimes, we voice them as confidence. But that can all be a wall, where she's hiding those insecurities.

Life has both black and white, and even grey, it's important to recognize that we are all different, by gender, race, status, and when you realize we're all different, yet still much alike, you'll be able to comprehend more of the ties we all connect with.

Hi!

Be open minded and talk (really talk) to her. Make her so comfortable with you that she will always express what is on her mind and answer your questions honestly. Ask her things like "How do you feel about that?" etc.

What stops women from telling/showing men their true "insert your list here" is because they feel the men will find them silly, make fun of them, belittle them, tell them that those things are 'foolish' or 'impossible'.

If you let the women know that you respect and value ALL her traits, all her hopes and dreams, opinions, emotions, so on and so on, and you can show her that you are telling the truth when you say that, then I think the woman will open up to you totally.

My husband has it so easy with me. I tell him everything (he's my bestfriend). When he upsets me, I say, "You have hurt my feelings." When he makes me happy, I tell him that too. But my husband takes my feelings, thoughts, etc. seriously. He doesn't ever say "that's stupid" or "tell me later, I'm watching TV..."

The best one is the phrase we have to indicate that we need to talk about a serious matter in our marriage. When this phrase is said, everything is dropped, we sit down and face each other. Then we talk it out (no yelling, no hard feelings) just us being open and honest... The phrase is "We need to reevaluate our relationship."
:)

Oh well, I hope this helps you some. Good luck...

Answer 4

Women run on feelings. Women are feeling oriented humans. Men run on facts(majority of the time). The best way to understand yr women is to observe her. Not every women is the same w/ their likes/dislikes. If a Man pays attention (REALLY pays attention and listens) to her actions and words a man should be able to figure out what makes her tick. (when i say listen I mean LISTEN not just hearing the words.)

Answer 5

ok MRI here's the thing. no matter what men do they will never be able to understand a woman's train of thought. our high intelligence just cannot be understood by such low intelligence like u guys. [just a joke-no harsh feelings :)] but u cant understand a woman. we have too much emotions. on the contrary, men have the attitude of "whatever and who cares". that doesnt work with women. women arent able to have a relationship with no strings attached. however guys can. again we are just so complicated and emotional. SORRY GUYS thats just us...

Men can never understand women, women need to be respected and loved, and men need to take an interest once in awhile.
