There are no hard and fast rules to understanding a woman. Basically, a woman craves for more love and attention than any man can muster. Guys or men are often left throwing their hands up in the air with the words: “I don’t even know what she wants….I don’t even understand her anymore”.
Quit being such a cry baby!
The trick is, you understand a woman better by the cues she leaves out there. So much in understanding the workings of the mind of the female gender tilts in the general direction of what she doesn’t say than in the spoken word. Let’s run through some of those cues you could easily pick out in order to be the man she expects you to be.
1) Ask Her What The Problem Is And She Goes ‘Nothing’: This is usually not a good sign, buddy. When she bows her head that way and shakes it vigorously with the word ‘nothing’ when you ask of her why she is so crestfallen, please be mindful of the fact that she is very worried. Be a gentleman for once: don’t keep asking what the problem is and just keep doing the little things she expects of you around the house. In time, she’ll snap out of her mood and you’ll be her man all over again. Her ‘nothing’ always connotes: “Be a man, Jack, before I deny you dinner”. ‘Nothing’ means ‘ everything is wrong’.
2) Her Silence Is Not Golden: If she is usually the chirpy, garrulous type and she goes five hours without saying a word around you, just know you just freaked her out. The only reason why she hasn’t kicked your arse is usually because she may come out worse off if it boils down to a physical match up. So, when she goes all quiet on you, think of all the ways you may have probably hurt her and apologise before she even reels out your offence. Sometimes, a better apology would be to help her out around the house or with the kids or increase the home financial allowance. She doesn’t expect you not to have noticed that the dwindling economy is taking its toll on domestic affairs.
