Understanding women is easy if you're a woman! Clues for men
Men are, indeed, from Mars, and women are from Venus. As old as humanity, there has always existed a disparity of nature between the male and female genders. Men are far more practical and tend to aggression, while women view life in a more subjective manner and tend towards the emotional sides of life. The majority of men find that understanding women is an impossible task indeed. If this describes you, listen up! Understanding women is not the impossible task you might have in mind.
Men, as a group, tend to be practical. Men, as a rule, don't generally indulge themselves in public displays of revealing emotions, such as crying. On the opposite front, women are ready, on a moment's notice, to demonstrate their feelings on emotional issues. This makes the poor man uncomfortable. He's not himself familiar with this state of mind and concludes understanding women is beyond his ken.
The poor, befuddled male may well be an innocent victim. From a man's point of view understanding women shouldn't include entertaining the irrational. For example, if a man and women are in a restaurant and the man says something which gets the woman's ire up, justified or unjustified, the woman's display of her displeasure may prove so embarrassing to her partner, that he just up and walks. Believe me, this isn't the way to play it.
Sir, what you need to know is that, to the woman, all that matters is that you've somehow insulted her. Unwittingly, you opened the door and created this situation. She's right and you're not. The argument will only get worse if you persist in maintaining your correctness. Understanding women requires patience and humility, the virtues of which would be hard to argue, don't you think? Just think of it as a good deed. Soothe and reassure her and just let it go.
See how it works? No further argument and everyone's happy. Besides, I'll tell you a little secret. Your woman will feel indebted to you for your graciousness, you'll enjoy enhanced esteem in her eyes. She'll also treat you better in future.
I must, in good conscience, warn you that women of lesser character might continue to treat you badly, taking advantage of your newly acquired sterling characteristics. If this is the case, just chalk it up to a lesson in understanding women and move on.
However, these types of women are in the minority. Most women just want you to acknowledge, by your behavior, that women think differently than men. Whether you understand just what all of those differences are, is beside the point at least to the woman! Reading that book we referred to at the beginning might prove enlightening and a humorous read. You'll feel better.
Once you've got a clue to the secrets of understanding women, you'll have women flocking to you everywhere you go! Which is the man's objective, right?
