How I wish that you too knew......What men expect the women to know.

The response to the article on “How I wish that you knew…..What women want the men to know” was overwhelming. As said earlier, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. All the women could connect very well with the article. Not that the men could not relate to it or that, the article was beyond their understanding, it is just that all the male friends who read it, chose to remain silent because, ignoring the message was easier than getting committed. Men will always be men. Being from Venus the women are a generous lot, though we do show our shades of grey at times. I would not like to deny the men from the benefit of sharing their opinions and views on “What Men Expect from the Women”. Therefore, here is a list of the unspoken words of men pertaining to what they wish that the women knew. It is not a comprehensive list that I have shared here. There may be more to the list, which the readers can add, if they wish to.

Men want the women to give as much as importance to their game talk, just as how much of an importance the women expect from the men, in their girlish talk. Be it a discussion on the current affairs, news or some new App. that has been introduced, it may be boring and a drag for the women, but just lend your ears and listen to them.

Just as how women want the men to appreciate them and tell them that they look beautiful, men expect as much of an acknowledgment from the women.

Never nag a man. He may be the next embodiment of Lord Buddha in patience, but nagging will have reversal effects and may turn him into the next villain of a movie.

Acting silly and innocent is okay once a while, but showing it too often will make the women look dumb.

Never hurt the male ego. Just as how the women do not like the men to compare them with their mother, the men expect that the women do not compare them with their father.  Therefore, even if your father treated you like a princess and your husband treats you like a ‘living thing’, act as if, you are being treated like a queen. Acting once a while, will atleast earn you an award from your husband if not from the film federation.

Never end an argument with ‘Fine’ because, it will end the argument temporarily but in the mind, “The argument continues.”

Never bring the man’s mother as a part of an argument unnecessarily. It will later require damage control.

Men like the women to show them some respect in front of their parents and relatives. Therefore, you may act like Tom and Jerry at home, but never forget to project your husband as a Spiderman, Superman or Batman who has come to protect you, if not the world.

Women should also realize that, just as how they have their priorities set right, men have their priorities as well. Again, it is the order that differs. Show interests in their careers and passions.

Do not expect the men to understand your girlish talk and gossips. Just like how we do not understand their ’intellectual’ talk, they cannot understand ‘girlish' talks.

If they wish to spend their time in front of the television, just let them be. Do not wait forever with the expectation that they will turn their attention to you. That is never going to happen, when they are immersed in an engrossing program or a movie.

Men always have selective amnesia. They will fail to remember what was said a couple of days ago. So do not try to remind them about it in your present argument, it is just a waste of time.

Last but not the least; never make the mistake of expecting too much from the men because, men will always be men. They would love to spend more time with their iPad, Laptop and friends at any given day, because they are made that way. Not that they do not wish to spend quality time with us, it is just that women are too much of a complicated species for the men to understand. That is why they find it easier to work with the most complex of the gadgets and machines, because women are way beyond the understanding capabilities of the men.
