You Don’t Understand Us

Yes, I know that we have given up trying to understand women a long time ago but that does not mean that you have to give up just as easily. We are more predictable than women and it is not that hard to understand us.

We are fragile creatures; not nearly as robust as women and therefore we need constant attention and reassurances, otherwise we sulk. Whereas women compare well with stoves that can be moved and shoved around at will, we are more like computers; we need to be handled with extreme care or our hard drives will crash. With this being said, remember that we don’t come with any sort of a factory guarantee.

We are not good at multi-tasking; don’t tell us to fix the leaking tap while there is another job (like mowing the lawn) in progress or still pending. Our job queues can only accommodate one request at a time. And never repeat a request; that may be perceived as nagging and we will probably hang or go into a flat spin. For the best results, phrase your requests in such a way that we may think it was our own idea in the first place.

We are not good liars and are caught out every time; accept that we are not nearly as fluent in this department as you are. At least pretend to believe us some of the time. We need that confidence to develop this skill to an acceptable level.

We need plenty of sex; not just any sex – quality sex. We are insecure and we need to know that you needed it as much as we did. If you have to fake, do it with enthusiasm; we don’t want to feel as if you did it to do us a favor. You don’t want to know what social disorders can spawn from insecurity in our sex lives. It is not that we want it, we need it. Besides, you need to get on-line with a brain at regular intervals as well.

We are extremely sensitive; don’t yell at us. If you really need to send us to hell, do it in such a way that we can actually look forward to going there. We need to feel important and you should consciously work on it to maintain us in that frame of mind or we may stagnate.

We are not good with dates; minor details like birthdays and anniversaries can very easily pass without us noticing it. It will be prudent to work important dates into the conversation regularly, starting a week or two before the big date so we can have enough time to think about a suitable gift. Some unsubtle hints will be helpful as we're not very good at that either.

There are many other things that are also important but I don’t want to go there now as you may think that we are full of shìt. Nevertheless, you will be surprised with how much you can achieve by getting these few things right. Just a little understanding is all you need to get the best out of us. It’s not that difficult, is it?


You don’t have to pay me for this valuable advice. I render it as a free service in order to promote a better understanding between males and females.

Have a wonderful day!!
