Every man should know about women some certain basic things based on
observation. What annoys a woman and what makes her happy is a whole different
level of debate altogether though. We often hear men claiming that it is very
difficult to understand women. Although it is unfathomably naïve to categorize
all women as similar, there are some concrete aspects which apply to more or
less most women. Men have time and again tried to decipher the little giveaway
signs which can help them understand women better. Some succeed while most
fail.
Let’s go through
seven simple things every man should know about women:
1.
Appreciation
Women love appreciation and very specifically the ones directed towards
them and not for women in general. Nothing makes a woman happier than her man
praising her for however big or small a reason. Similarly, nothing annoys a
woman more than her man even remotely praising another woman. The key is to
tread carefully in matters like this.
2.
Little Things Matter
While praising her works great, it pairs up amazingly with little tokens
or gestures of love. Whether a man showers gifts on her or not does not really
matter to a woman, more than the man showing his true love and care by little
gestures and small tokens of love. Flowers, a surprise visit, or even a kind
meaningful message can charm her incredibly.
3.
Listen!
Unless you are asked to, do NOT suggest women how to fix their problems.
When they are sharing their problems or just talking about a bad day at work,
what they are basically asking is for you to be a good listener. Women like
being heard and prefer support and validation more than advice.
4.
Be Calm
That phrase is exactly what you should not say to a woman if you
actually want her to calm down. If a woman is worked up, be very careful about
the words you choose. Saying ‘Relax’ is the worst possible thing you can do to
calm her down. It is like a trigger that you do not want to activate,
particularly when she is stressed out. You have to handle such issues with
utmost care and patience.
5.
Pamper
Women love being pampered – not necessarily with gifts. A man taking
that extra step in making his woman feel special and cared for is highly
appreciated. As long as you can make your woman feel wanted and loved, as long
as you can bring a smile to her lips every now and then. With small acts or
gestures though, she will be content.
6.
Chivalry
Being chivalrous is one of the best things men can do to be in the good
books of women. Women really admire chivalry and no matter how independent and
fiercely modern she is, a little old-school chivalry is always appreciated. But
then again, be overly chivalrous and you might end up offending her, making her
think she is incapable of doing anything on her own. Maintain a balance –
confusing and tough maybe, but hey! That’s how life is.
7.
Comparison
If you ever thought you can compare qualities or as a matter of fact
anything about your woman with another, you have no idea how haywire that can
go. Women hate comparison. Hence one of the biggest rules to follow is never
compare her with another woman – Ever!
The above points have all been depicted and analyzed meticulously in my
book, ‘A Drop of Dew‘. Every man should
know about women the above basic elements, irrespective of what phase he is in
his life. Interpretations of
love that varies at different stages of life are well narrated.
