ShareOf course, as women tend to do, she gives him a convoluted reply about women wanting a man who loves them more than anybody else in the world! Really? It's that simple?
Don't women also want a man who will just LISTEN? And that's not simple either. Because, sometimes men do listen though they don't always understand what women are talking about. Like a harried husband was heard asking his wife: "What are you trying to say? You say half of what's in your mind and then ask me a question. Then I put my foot into my mouth with my reply, before you actually reveal what exactly was in your mind!"
Flashback a bit and this is what happened between them:
WIFE: My mother says she is bored.
HUSBAND: I think you should take her out.
WIFE: You really think so?
HUSBAND: Yeah, you must take her to a movie or a play.
WIFE: I can't believe you are saying this! So you actually don't mind if we both go out
for a movie or a play?
HUSBAND: No, not at all darling!
WIFE: Oh, and here I was thinking that we both should take her out! Not me alone! You just don't like my mom, do you?"
HUSBAND: Oooooooops!
However, for all married men who still don't know what women want, here're a few tips:
1. Give her 20 minutes of unsolicited, quality attention... before you ask her, "Darling, where's my hearing aid?"
2. Empathise with her, but resist the temptation to solve her problems. Or else they will become your problem!
3. Give her four hugs a day. But don't get ambitious and offer a fifth hug, unless you want to answer the question: "How come you're so romantic today? Are you having an affair?"
4. Take her side when she is upset with someone. If she is left-handed, then stay on her right side to avoid getting in the way of her angry hand movements while she is raving and ranting.
5. Offer to fix something around the house on weekends. Ask, "What needs to be fixed around here? I've some extra time!" Chances are that she might say "our relationship!" But you better not take out a bottle of glue at that moment...
