Things We Men Wish Women Knew

Posted in Gender, Men | 9 comments

How shall I sum up us men? We like to keep it simple and forthright. Here are some things that we wish women knew about us.

We like compliments once in a while, but not lavish praises, it’s good to be acknowledged with the reasons that we were chosen to be with you in the first place. You’ll be surprised that we’ll help with all the chores without you asking.

We are bluntly honest not because that we like to see you get hurt, but because we simply care. However, if you decide to penalize us for it, we will then start to censor ourselves, and that is when the relationship hit the rocks.

Things Men Wish Women Knew

The word love does not mean we have to cling to each other ALL the time, just like women who need stamp of approvals from their girl friends, we men need the alliance with other men.

Women’s biggest pet peeves of men is that our first commitment is usually to ourselves. Right or wrong, we were raised in an environment that equates success to self-fulfillment. Relationships may seem to encroach on that but we do come around to understand that true self-fulfillment is dependent on fulfilling each other.

Women should remember to give credit where credit is due, and stop focusing on the smaller stuff when we have achieved bigger things for you.
