What you can learn from women in a relationship - the woman you are with and in general, all the women you have had relationships with can give you valuable things. Instead of shrugging your shoulders and saying "I just don't understand women", you can realize that you have something to learn from them (as a man) (just as they can learn from you)!

What you can learn from women in a relationship:

Express your emotions openly - sometimes men live with the idea that it's not "masculine" to show your emotions and that you have to look tough and impenetrable.

Not only is it not healthy for inner balance (it's not good to ignore and repress what you feel), but it also irritates your girlfriend to the core. The man can learn that it is good to express himself freely, without fear that he seems less of a man: any woman is delighted with the sensitive man.

Learn what empathy is - but not only your own emotions must be accepted and expressed. Empathy refers to the ability to try to observe the other person's emotions and to show that you accept them. This helps you a lot in a relationship: do you often say that you don't understand your girlfriend?

This is because you are trying to understand it rationally, to understand its words or actions: but you must first understand what emotion made it act and not the act itself! To be empathetic means to be sensitive to the emotions expressed by others and to respect them.

So, one more important thing: you can learn to be gentler sometimes: if you tend to say what you have to say directly and brutally, you can hurt or offend others; say what you have to say considering the person's feelings.

To speak! What can you learn from women? Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT ain't for me either. In particular, to talk when you have a problem. Men often shut themselves down, remain grumpy, or become aggressive when they have a problem - ways to deal with stress and nervousness are either isolation or aggression.

What about talking - sharing your condition and talking about the problem: this is the most effective solution for women! Try to be open in front of your girlfriend, to trust her - don't just rely on yourself in difficult situations.

When he sees you nervously with a strong glass in front of your PC, he asks you "did something happen?", And you mutter "no" and that's it, your girlfriend feels rejected - and it even helps to talk about what thoughts are grinding you

Become more responsible. Do you know the classic idea that girls are much more conscientious and good at school, while boys are more lazy and naughty? It is partly true and a product of separate education: a little girl is taught to be cautious, calm, serious, and motherly - a boy to be brave, energetic, independent!

But it doesn't hurt to learn to be a little more responsible, to think sometimes about the consequences of your actions, to better organize your program, and especially not to forget what you have to do or promise to do.

Appreciate stability. What can you learn from women? The fact that a stable life and a stable relationship is not equal to boring! Women always want stability and security, while men are more often looking for adventure and novelty!

No matter how exciting and adventurous life is, anyone, woman or man, will need a little stability - especially in romantic relationships. Stability does not mean boredom - it means being sure that you are loved and that you want to stay with the person you are with. Stability is not a trap for women - it is the certainty that your relationship is strong and with a future…

To "see" and appreciate the person next to you. Men sometimes behave quite indifferently: they don't make affectionate gestures (especially in public!), They don't kill themselves to say "I love you" and if their girlfriend has a new dress or hairstyle, they will rarely notice the change; and if you notice her, instead of a "how great you look like that!", I say "AAAA, you cut your hair… hmmm".

Observing the person close to you, showing them that it is important and that you appreciate them is very important in any relationship (not just the couple). To seem indifferent, blind, with the mind elsewhere and not paying attention to the other conveys a lack of appreciation…

Be less skeptical. Men are more realistic, more skeptical, often even more pessimistic. The world is a hard test, the people around you are limited beings and potential enemies.

Life is what you do in life, what you can do - dreaming means waiting for you, then being disappointed and hurt. It's not like that: there's nothing wrong with having dreams; dreams are what stimulate you to want to do and be more. And skepticism doesn't help - it often gets in the way; the world is not so treacherous and empty…

Be more creative. Know the stereotype: women - creativity and intuition; men - logical thinking. In part, there is a piece of truth: men favor logic and do not exercise their imagination or creativity in the same way. What can you learn from women?

Don't stop your imagination, don't limit it, and give wings to your creative ideas. Come up with new ideas without rejecting them because they are not the most logical or the simplest!

See the broad perspective - as the Americans say, see "the big picture". Try to look at a situation from multiple points of view and in its entirety; try to think beyond the moment "now" - look into the future.

Women, indeed, sometimes unnecessarily complicate the way they look at a situation - but men oversimplify it.

Take care - pay attention to the way you look, smell (the perfume according to your skin is essential), and the way you dress; after all, your appearance is your business card. You can learn how to take care of your body through effective hygiene and maintenance rituals, and you can learn which style of clothing suits you best so that you look better. You don't have to be metrosexual - but any desirable man today is a man who knows how to take care of himself.

To value the emotional aspect of the physical act of love. What else can you learn from women? The fact that making love is so-called because love plays a major role in the physical act. Making love without feeling love for a woman is completely different from making love with your loved one!

It does not separate the feelings from the physical act - it is so beautiful and satisfying precisely because of the feelings! Focus not only on the act itself - but also on the person with whom you are experiencing the sensations…
