What are the things that most drive you nuts about women when it comes to our way of communicating?
Forgive me and/or slap me down for my generalizations here. Women are master communicators, with each other anyway. There are all sorts of visual and verbal cues that women pick up on that men are oblivious to because, well, we're dunderheads. I don't find fault with the way women communicate at all, it's beautiful, or with the intensity of communication that comes with your affections, but I do find that in a relationship oftentimes the demand for it seems burdensome to a male if he's expected to keep up over a long period of time, say months or years. Here's the reason: the man needs something to talk about, a reason to speak, a story to share, the woman doesn't necessarily. Again, generalizing, the act of sharing, of just talking about anything, of expressing emotions, of bond-forming, seems to be what motivates women's communications, whereas men's attempts are more of an epic narrative. Why do you think we tend to watch sports (not that I do)? A beginning, rising drama, a climax... And if a man spends all his time with a woman, at some point he's already told her everything he's gonna tell that's 'happened', and nothing new is happening to him that she wasn't present for. The woman starts to wonder 'why you don't talk to me like you used to' and the man gets frustrated and resentful because he feels stifled, and communicates LESS. My advice in this situation would be to let your man go. Seriously. We're little boys in this regard: once we get the freedom to adventure, we'll get lost and lonely and miss you and come back in, like, a day or two (or is that just me?). And if not, you were wasting your time with us anyway. What is it about women you would most like an honest answer to? Why are you often attracted to men who are so obviously going to mistreat you and make you unhappy? Are you just hard-wired to find the 'bad' boy so sexy? At what point are you going to stop assuring that this behavior continues by rewarding it (aka giving them what they want)? Seriously, ladies, unite as a gender and cut them off. I bet within a decade, they start sending you flowers and calling just to let you know they were thinking about you. |
