Do men and women speak the same language?

In a word, NO. Which explains why there are so many misunderstandings between the sexes. So, here are some tips from the experts that’ll give you a much better chance of being heard and understood:

• First, when it comes to compliments, men want it short and sweet. That’s according to psychologist-to-the-stars, Yvonne Thomas. Think about it. When guys win a football game, they high-five each other and dump ice water on their coach. They don’t go on and on about how good they feel. So, if your boyfriend gets promoted, don’t gush that he’ll be the next Donald Trump. Say something short and to the point, like “You really deserve that promotion!”
• Then, when a problem comes up, women like to discuss it. Men would rather skip the chitchat and find a fast fix. That’s from Bill Lampton, Ph.D. and author of The Complete Communicator. So, if your husband gets fired, don’t ask how he feels, or ask if he expects to still be working in that field in 5 years. Ask a few concrete questions like, “Did you really like that job?” And then suggest a specific action – like, can you help update his résumé.
• Another thing men don’t understand about women is the crying thing. For guys, only a major tragedy deserves tears. But women cry for lots of reasons - frustration, fatigue, anger, sadness, empathy, and even happiness. So, if you drench the floor in guava juice and burst into tears, he’ll consider it a huge overreaction. That’s from David Coleman, author of Making Relationships Matter. So, how do you make it better? Tell him why you cried – it’s really tension from the office. And tell him how he can help – by running to the corner store for mint chip ice cream.
