Though women are extraordinarily motivating for us (and you do know why), sometimes it is so hard to communicate with them... Well, that's resolved. This article is one of the best pieces of advice for single men ever. It is about understanding women. Priceless material, gentlemen...Should there be a last thing to mention about women and their worlds is that women need to communicate often to feel connected. This means talking, looking, touching, going, returning... but essentially talking. You may need to consider if you are a good listener these days. That can really help you.
Just be careful not to make the same mistake every other man on earth makes. Ironic as it will sound, women talk just to be heard, not for you to solve whatever problem she is discussing. I repeat. Women do not want you to fix things, they want you to listen, be sympathetic and tell them about a time when you felt the exact same way. When men listen to a problem, they immediately think on doing something to solve it. Do not do that, just listen without offering advice or, if you feel you must do something, ask: "Is this one of those times when you want me to listen and not give you advice, or can I say something?" If you do it this way, she will see you really understand her and she is going to appreciate it (and you) a lot.
What a girl wants?? First and foremost, security. Security means three things for a woman: physical security, emotional security (a. k. a. faithfulness) and temporal (and not temporary) security (a. k. a. stability). Among these, the most important feature they want in a man is stability. Even if it is quite known that women usually like more "Mr. Jerk" than "Mr. Nice" because he finds him more manly, at the end, single women usually marry a "Mr. Nice" because she finds him more stable. And because...
They are more chivalrous, intimate, and tender. One of the best ways in which a single woman can ensure herself that the man who is giving her security now will not become her main aggressor later (Believe it or not, their brains are really this weird) is to see how men behave in their daily life. Even when women can easily live and survive without us (they can open the doors and also carry heavy things without our help), a chivalrous offering will decidedly work in the man's favour... Just don't exaggerate your chivalrousness because...
If you exaggerate it you will be dropped. Women like to trust in the fact their men will be able to provide her some security from outer aggressions as well. That is to say, if he looks weak to her, he will probably look weak for other men and, therefore, it is more convenient for her to look somewhere else. Women will find attractive those men who behave manfully before the world but tenderly with them, even if he's not the most stunning man in the world. His manliness will show her how protective he can be; his tenderness, how supporting he can be if she needs him. A woman's brain is like that.
Before the final 'I do', women usually test men. They want to see if he is really manful, so, first and above all, she will try to DOMINATE him. Yes! As you just read it! It is on purpose! Here is where many men make the BIG MISTAKE of trying to please her all the time, giving her all what she asks for. Mistake? Yes. She's actually expecting that you will not allow her to dominate you. Learn how to handle that situation without being neither rude nor treating her unchivalrously, and as a last tip, do not think you are living all the time under this test. There is no need to be defensive either. Other tests women do? One of the women I interviewed confessed me she carried out three tests on her man before actually getting married with him: She made him drink until he could drink no more, to see if he got aggressive with her when he was intoxicated. She also spent a whole afternoon teasing, pestering, annoying, bothering, and humiliating him as she wanted to find out if he was capable of hitting or insulting her when he was really angry or whether he was resentful. The third one was going to a dangerous neighborhood, to see if he was afraid of being held-up or assaulted, or to see if he would abandon her in a dangerous situation.
Why? Because when a woman ultimately becomes a mother (something almost women want to become sooner or later), she knows she will be in a very vulnerable situation. Some women will be always ready to sacrifice her job, career, friends and other things just to be able to look after her children, she wants to make sure her man will not leave her on her own when she most needs to be supported.
Instinct? Maybe, but it is the way they are... Help her feel safe in all these ways and she will be yours as long as you want.
Conclusions
• Every woman is different, so there are not exact rules to understand them.
• Women prefer a sort of "tender jerk" for man: someone romantic, chivalrous, sweet, affectionate, comforting... but at the same time, someone who shows himself masculine, strong, powerful and aggressive, especially before the rest of the world.
• Some women will test you, some will not, so get ready for tests and not to give in your position of man before any woman.
• Show yourself manly and they will like you easier.
• As society evolves, women become more independent, but intimately they have not changed much. Just try to avoid stereotypes and get to know the woman you really have in front of you.
Good luck! *winks*
