Why do men have such a hard time understanding women?

Question

How hard can it be?

strateguy632 · Accepted Answer

mainly because women choose to prefer "subtlety" which is vague. hopeless, don't even expect us to guess right.

sometimes a lady chooses to test if her man listens or knows her, so says stuff, just to see how we respond, not real.

also will he fight to stay together? she says "maybe we should break up" not sincerely. but he says, "if you want i will find someone else".

then she cries because she didn't mean her words but her words caused his reply!

sometimes a lady feels some emotion or mix of emotions that she doesn't know, so she asked her man but when he also doesn't know, she cries "you don't even know me, after months we are together". magnified by her own confusion she doesn't know either.

I mean have you met you? Women are confusing and I'm married to one with 2 tiny women. Women have a fantastic ability to read or hear an entire narration of events and somehow be upset because it applies to them. Or they can hear an entire sentence and then be mad because what was said and what they heard was entirely different. Not mention a woman's idea of "letting a guy know she likes him" is walking past him and glancing at him. Everyone glances at everyone as they walk past. That is just a few things Women have and do that make no sense.

People tend to project their own values on others and expect them to act and respond the way they do. Women tend to value things differently than men and approach things differently so when women respond to a situation differently that a man would respond, men find it confusing.

I have no idea... I say things openly and straightforward (autism trait), and quite often, I'm misunderstood :D

Me: "do you feel well enough to do XYZ?"

He (half an hour later): "you said I don't feel good enough to join you"

ffs...

The way men and women think and process are totally different, men process in a logical manner, women process on an emotional basis, I have four sisters and even after 50+ years I still have problems understanding women.

Afvenom · Answer

Simple, they cannot be understood. Lol
Seriously men and women are so very different I do not think they will ever fully understand each other. Many women think all men think about is sex and food. Which is mostly true, but I like motorcycles too lol

I think it comes down to having a hard time understanding themselves. They don’t understand their behaviors directly affect how women pursue / treat them

Anonymous · Answer

My take; Men don't try to understand, they try to figure out. there's a subtle but important difference (and they often miss important signals by working that way).

Women don't, IME like to be figured out. They like to be known.

Men solve, women resolve.

Course this is a gross generalisation.

MrNameless · Answer

Because women expect men to read their minds and figure it out themselves, instead of telling them straight up what's on their mind

tremendousfern · Answer

Women are very simple to understand. Imagine a toddler throwing a temper tantrum but instead of a toddler, it's a grown adult.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

It's relatively easy to understand a woman. There's only that thing about verbal communication... :D But hey - with a little effort any secret code can be broken.

itsclearlynicholas · Answer

Some aren't very friendly either. Someone gets dominated and not with loving appreciation which is a shame.

Pohjolan · Answer

Firstly women are not very good at communicating. Secondly women are less rational. Like they often want emotional tension in relationships which is bloody stupid.

Likes2drive · Answer

It’s easy to understand them, take away all logic and accountability and it all makes sense on how most of them think :)

exitseven · Answer

I just never could get that hang of it. Ask me how the internet works instead

Anonymous · Answer

Well a woman believes she is easily understood. And women also assume that they are always right. So there is no need to try and improve communication and understand our modes of interpretation. Some women, very few. I can understand crystal clear but it’s very few that worked this out and decide to ditch the mind reading nonsense.

shanshu · Answer

Because they don't listen they assume, they react so much to the little things, they want so much but then they don't want so much of it, they want you to know what they want without them saying it and get mad when you don't know what it is

Phoenix98 · Answer

In what context? Flirting and romantic interest? Or are we talking like just in general and being broad subject wise?

dolemite58 · Answer

You say that like women are such complex, brilliant creatures when in reality men don’t understand why they’re just overly fussy and dramatic.

You have triggered some very predictable reactions here.

Women don't understand women, how the fuck you expect us too?

Surely · Answer

I gave up a long time ago. I try to be a reasonable, respectful and common sense thinking guy. That doesn’t seem to work either!

Yannae · Answer

It's as hard as the woman signaling. Mine is direct so it's not hard to understand her.
