Ladies, this subject has plagued women for eons. Volumes have been published about it and still we search for answers.
The fact is, men and women are different. No Duh! What we mean is we are different in the ways we deal with the problems and challenges in our lives. Women absolutely positively without a doubt have to TALK. They have to release feelings through words and discuss issues at length. And they do not always or even often need a solution. They just need to talk. Men, on the other hand, quickly assess the problem and proudly offer a solution with no need for further discussion. They want to stop the talking. See the dilemma?
Realizing this basic fact is the key to getting a man to listen to a woman. Women tend to speak in generalities when they are upset that may be misinterpreted by the man. She might get frustrated after several minutes of talking to him with no response but ‘hmm’ and say something like “you never listen to me”. He takes offense because he heard her words and acknowledged her presence, and now he is upset that she is attacking him. It’s a scene played out over and over. It’s the reason women like to talk to other women and men like to talk to other men. But sometimes the woman has to talk to the man. And she should, but how?
The best way to get a man to listen to you is to ask him to. Ask before you dive in and just start talking. Tell him you do not need a solution, emphasize that you just need to talk something out. But first, pick your time: do not try to compete with his favorite TV show. We shouldn’t have to ask, you say, that’s demeaning. Well, blame it on the difference. Aren’t you more likely to do something if someone asks you, rather than expecting you to? So is the man. Since it is not his nature to talk, he does not see the value in it. By asking if he will listen and relieving him of the responsibility of providing a solution leaves only his listening as all he has to do to help you. It will you both feel so much better than the scenario above. When you are finished talking, thank him for listening. Give him a hug and a kiss. He will feel rewarded and that he truly did something nice for you and will be more likely to be willing to listen the next time you ask.
