Relationship Advice for Men

For centuries men have been trying to figure out how women work, and what a woman really wants. For centuries men have kept coming up empty. Nobody, not even women, seem to understand the mystery behind the female sex. Do you know why? Because women are irrational. They think with their hearts instead of their brain. They’re emotional and impulsive. They act on whatever they are feeling at that particular moment, and their emotions change faster than their hairstyles. When a man really ticks off his woman, she will probably go and do something completely uncharacteristic, such as key up his car, or throw his clothes all over the front lawn. Then when she calms down she’ll of course feel bad that she did it, and make up, and go back to being the sweet, loving woman that she was, while the man is standing there dumbfounded wondering what on earth just happened.

Men don’t experience emotion the same way women do, and they often surpress their emotions, and continue to think logically and rationally. Women aren’t usually capable of this, when they feel an overpower emotion they just have to act on it. It’s nature, there’s no way of changing this. But men can and have learned to live with it, even though they don’t understand it.

But now that we know that a woman is driven by emotion, we can learn how to cope with her emotions, something that has eluded men since the beginning of time. Just remember that she is not a man, and does not think or feel like a man. She has her own set of emotions, whether you like it or not. You may not always understand what she’s feeling or why she’s feeling it. At times she may not even understand, it’s all part of being a woman. However, by learning a few simple tricks, you may save yourself from many nights alone on the sofa.

When men are faced with a problem, they will usually keep it to themselves and figure out a solution to that problem, or sometimes they’ll ask for advice on how to solve it. When women are faced with a problem, they just want to talk about it. When a woman talks to a man, he often tries to offer advice, which only makes the problem worse. Women are smart, they can figure their problems out for themselves, but they need to unload their emotional burdens, otherwise they may very well explode. So, guys, here’s what you must do. The next time you notice your woman is stressed or upset, talk to her. Turn off the TV, the computer, the radio, put down anything you might be doing, and listen to what she has to say. Ask her questions to get her talking about the problem. Once she’s talking, you just listen, look at her, respond every so often to let her know you hear her. Say things like “Really?, What happened then? What did you do? Wow!” This will let her know you’re showing an interest in what she’s saying, and you’ll earn a few brownie points for that. After she’s done talking, resist the urge to offer a solution. Instead, show sympathy for the situation “Wow, I’m sorry you had to deal with that!”, offer encouragement, “Well, it’s over now” or “It will be over soon” or “Only 3 more days till the weekend”. You may also ask her what she plans on doing to rectify the problem, but don’t find flaws in her idea. Instead encourage it or say something like “I hope that does the trick”. The only time you may offer your own advice is if she says “What do you think I should do”.
