Guys, what is something you wish women would understand about men?

biggest one especially with current events is when a man asks for a paternity test he is not accusing the woman of being unfaithful. he is asking for his belief that the child is his be turned into FACT that the child is his. too many women get all kinds of mad at men for asking for a paternity test because for women they are emotional so they feel that he is saying she was unfaithful. this nonsense has lead to many women divorcing perfectly good men because they couldn't step into his shoes and wonder why would he ask. women you KNOW the child is yours because YOU carried it to term YOU birthed it. you even KNOW who the father is. men are left with believing that the child is theirs. the only way for a man to KNOW is if they get a paternity test. However given how mad people get at being asked it has become a topic that a lot of people don't feel comfortable talking about with their partners.

wife response: my husband knows I have never been with anyone else as we spend nearly all of our time together and when I was early pregnancy he asked me to do a paternity test and he even said "I know you weren't unfaithful I just want to KNOW that the child is mine rather than believe the child is mine" which for many sounds odd because how he could he not know the child is his if he knows you weren't unfaithful. It is one thing to know mentally that the child is yours. it is entirely another to see actual proof that the child is yours. I understood that and so we did do a paternity test and of course the child was his which he knew and now he had proof making it a fact as well

Have you had many children who you wanted to confirm were yours through paternity tests?

wife response: we had 3 and we did a test on all 3 because I would rather my husband KNOW the children as his than have to believe it since belief can and sometimes does fade over time

If there was something, I wish my wife would understand a little bit more, it would be that I truly enjoy hearing from her when she travels. When she calls, she usually talks to the kids and I don't get much phone time.

i've let her know, and I think she's starting to try a little bit more to make time to talk to this guy :-)

"Trust and trustworthiness allow relationships to deepen," says Degges-White. After all, a woman needs to know that, if a relationship is to last long-term, she'll be able to rely on her man just as he should be able to rely on her.

If you tell us about a problem we're going to try to fix it. That's what we do.

Also, we're visual. Binocular vision, hunters. All of us. Just because we noticed her boobs doesn't mean we're actively trying to see them. It's not like the lion eats every gazelle it sees...

Men can't understand things until you say them clearly.
Men ain't psychics who can read your minds.
Men would do what you want them to do but you gotta 'SAY' it.

That despite what many people think, there are plenty of guys who aren't just looking for an easy score. To the contrary, a lot of us just want to please the women we're dating, and sex is actually not really important to us at all.

they understand me... and know me

I make sure it is that way... and then I don't have to be wishing and struggling with it

When you're telling a story or making a statement, it helps if you just get to the point. Drowning us in details makes paying attention nearly impossible.

Instead of what a men would do for women, women should tell men what she will do for him

There are many things.

We don't like being invisible to women.

Men don't have universal wants and needs just because we share a gender

Guys can be shy cause they're afraid of getting hurt again.

[smahala1991]

Talk to us. Also we don't always want sex either

[Likes2drive]

We can’t read minds, need to be direct with things
