Lesson for the day

Women can never make up their mind about something. When they say “Yes” , they could really mean “No”.

And I got the first hand experience of it today. From now on “I’ll decide and she will listen”.

    Another golden rule you may want to follow:

    And their ideal men need to be able to figure that out :-))

    Yeah rrrright.

    I was attending a friend’s wedding here in the US last december and the priest, after uttering all those holy words etc. says to the groom “Son, from now on you must remember these 3 golden words to say to your partner – Its my fault”.

    The trick is to listen to what she’s not saying.

    Right now I think you are telling him to listen to her!.

    Just kidding, how are u supposed to listen to something that is not audible in this universe?.

    Behind every successfull man, there is a woman,
    Behind every unsuccessfull man ..there are two …
    Behind every successfull woman .. there is a surprised man 🙂

    Yes, I am telling him to listen to her. You don’t listen to only what can be heard – that’s what seems to confuse you people; you expect us to articulate everything we feel. We, on the other hand, expect you to read our body language, and our moods.

    Not easy at all, and maybe that’s why some guys consider going gay.

    Problem really is the Venusian dialect that women use – it is really incomprehensible to the Martian-lingual men. 😉

    I can safely (17 years of marriage and still going strong) say that expecting *anyone* to “read between the lines” or to “understand what is not said” is a pretty dangerous game to play. The only way to ensure that there are no misunderstandings is to say what you want/mean in plain English (or whatever language you speak at home).

    We don’t do it intentionally, if that’s any consolation.

    >We don’t do it intentionally, if that’s any consolation.

    I know that, just like us guys don’t leave the toilet seat up intentionally – it just happens 😉

    Seriously – a good relationship is one where people understand each other well. The key here is “understand” – which means that both sides must be tuned into the same frequency.

    Unfortunately, us poor guys don’t have the intuition that women have, so I guess this means that women need to come to our level (whether that is “up” or “down” is a matter of debate 😉 to keep things in harmony.

    The easiest way to avoid trouble is for someone to say “I would like to have a new bookshelf” instead of “Our neighbour has a new umbrella”, expecting the other partner to understand that to mean “I would like to have a new bookshelf”. 😉

    Yes… reading between the lines can become a full time job no one has the time for. Good luck handling it 🙂
