Men Vs. Women. What's the big problem?
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Men are simple, women are crazy. However you want to say it, women and men have different levels of thinking and thus comes the problem.
I put it this way, men are simple. They are also problem solvers. Sometimes women just want men to lend an ear and they end up getting more than they bargained for. Men want women to stop trying to change them and accept them for who they are. Sometimes men tell women who they are and women take it and try to change it to fit their standards. There lies problems.
Men get a good idea and go after it. If it doesn't turn out right, fine, try something new. Women follow the W.O.M.A.N acronym:
Worry
Overthink
Meditate
Analyze
Negotiate
Before a woman goes into a situation she tries to answer a million questions about it. How does it benefit her? Who will be involved? How risky is this? What happens next? How long does it take? How much does she need to invest? And so on.
Men don't want to get into feelings. They have their own way of expressing themselves. Sometimes they'd rather talk to their friends about you rather than talk to you about you. They'd rather let last night's fight go rather than talk about how you made them feel with some of the stuff you said. Men will be men and women will be women.
It's not that men don't understand women because they do. They just have a different view of us. That's why communication should be one of the first things you do as a couple. When couples talk, they gain more understanding of each other and find it easier to work as a team. When a man knows what makes a woman tick, he can then figure out how to avoid that. When a woman figures out a man's plan, she can figure out where she fits in.
If a woman doesn't see herself in her man's plan then it's time to pack it up and make for an exit. If a man can't figure out his lady's heartstrings then that's a tangled web and he should soon be making a break for it. Men won't sit down and chat with a woman like they're girlfriends. Women won't stop expressing themselves. But there is a common place, it's up to us to find it.
