Women and men are two different creatures when it comes to relationships. Men can be perfectly content under one set of circumstances where a woman could feel lacking, and vice versa. The trick for the man is to know the differences and be prepared to act on those differences.
Women tend to be much more emotional beings than men. One topic might result in a man shrugging it off as “oh well” while the woman may get a little emotional. Think back at some of the troubled conversations between you and your wife or girlfriend. Did you take the situation any differently?
Take the classic “do these pants make me look fat” question. As many men know (not all men!), there is only one good way to end this conversation. Yet, you could probably tell your boyfriend or husband all day long how fat his butt looks in his jeans and he’ll likely give an “oh well” response.
Take the situations of remembering important dates like an anniversary or important places like the first place you kissed. Women remember these things. They’re much more emotionally connected to these events. Unfortunately, many men don’t rank them that high on the “must remember” list.
Women like to have these emotional needs met. To the man, it may take some extra effort to remember these things, or give spontaneous compliments, or buy flowers on the anniversary of the date of their first kiss, but you’ll certainly reap the benefits of doing so.
Break ups occur when needs aren’t being met. Emotional needs are some of the strongest needs to a woman. My women left me for many reasons including this one, but I won her back and now we’re getting married. It may not be too late to win your women back.
