    What men says….

    Filed under: Ramblings by MiSs LiLy

    Men from Mars and women from Venus . Men and women are proven to be different. As a woman, sometimes it’s really hard to understand their behavior at one time you think you know them, but suddenly they can change and be a different person like you never know them before; feel like stranger. They always act opposite to what they say the behavior is so confusing. That’s why a lot of women all the times always give incorrect assumptions about men. Not our fault! Its guy: Full of mysteries, secrets and surprises drive women crazy, broke their heart, but still rule the world. So, there must be something inside them we don’t know; something special that buried deep inside their heart. From the first, people already put men in the highest; to be leader, known as strong and courage, so until nowadays they try to maintain who they are. But we all never know behind that mask there’s more and more to explore something to be proud of or NOT. So, to know who they really are, we have to dig the well! Here are 10 most common misconceptions we have about the opposite sex.

    ~ Women are more intuitive than man. Entire books have been written on the subject. Songs have been sung about it. Movies have been made around it. But actually there’s no such thing as women’s intuition . I’m not sure about this, but scientific studies dispelled the myth that women are more intuitive than men ages ago. However, some research does suggest that women pay more attention to detail than men do. That’s the reason why: and this attention to detail that makes it seem like women have more intuitive than men, because they notice the subtler signals in a situation that men usually miss…So, mind reading?

    ~ Men blame themselves more than women do. It’s not true at all you think they really down in the dumps and counting on when he didn’t get the promotion? Bet me, they’re not! Sorry. You see the signs of his impending breakdown draw around him. Right now, he’s just disappointed. But soon, he’s going to be beating himself up with bitter regret. It’s an implosion in slow motion. Except that the breakdown never happens. Wonder of wonders, in a few days, he’s back on his feet and as cheery as ever. Need proof? Then ask yourself? Who’s always asking for apologies or excuses?

    ~ Women are talkers; men are listeners. You believe this? Hahahaha..If do, surprise, surprise: Men have the bigger mouths, after all! I never talk to men who really listening to what we’re saying. Studies have repeatedly shown that men talk more than women do in virtually any given situation (except arguments, perhaps), from as far back as 1951. And women are more sensitive and assiduous to be a good listener.

    ~ Men give more detailed explanations. Never, never, and never. Although men do tend to talk a whole lot more than women, they don’t necessarily say much more. Women like to talk detail about an incident or their day at work than men. Even men can give more detailed explanations, they often choose not to, preferring to be efficient in their communication rather than exhaustive. Women on the other hand give you all the gory details anyway whether you want to hear them or not? I think giving an explanation is better than silence. It may hurt somebody feelings. Right?

    ~ Men don’t touch others as much as women do. This is absolutely wrong. It seems that men are touchy, feely people, too. Research has proven that men are more likely to touch people than women, whether male or female. When in men company, it’s by backslapping or handshaking. In female company, it’s by doing gentlemanly acts like helping women in and out of cars or leading them through a doorway. Research shows that men touched women four times more often than women touched men. But it’s important that women do not interpret these touches as sexual advances, especially if it’s on her back or shoulders. They said gentlemanly ; not perversely ! Hopefully it’s true guys!

    ~ Men don’t listen as well as women. They do listen. Who says not? You’re pouring your heart out to him and his face remains impassive. He shows no signs of listening to you, let alone understanding anything you’re saying. Do you thing he’s ignoring you? Well, he’s not. It’s just that men look less attentive than women when being spoken to. Sally McConnell-Ginett, a researcher at Cornell University, found that women are more inclined to say um-hum than men when listening to another person. Men, on the other hand, prefer to remain blank and expressionless. Why? So they don’t lead the speaker into thinking that they either agree or disagree with what they’re saying!

    ~ Men are less emotional when they speak. Rubbish! The only reason it seems that way is because men express their emotions differently from women. Paul Ekman from UCLA found that whilst women typically have five different tones in their speech, men only have three. That’s why women appear to be more emotional than men those peaks and valleys in their speech really dramatize things even when they’re saying the same thing as the men! Also, we all know that women’s speech is much more animated and their body language more distinct, making them more interesting and engaging. Add to that the fact that women are more likely to cry or have are quaver in their voice when talking about something bad, and it’s no wonder you think men are such cold creeps. Ahhaaahrghh .

    ~ Men ask more questions than women. Nope. Surely you’re realized by now that virtually all men are Mr Know-it-Alls. So, if they know everything, why must they ask questions? Right? Asking question mean they’re not in the know about something, which would be utterly devastating to their self-esteem. Therefore, they remain silently ignorant unless they’re pretty sure no one around them the answer anyway. That’s why male scientist don’t mind asking questions about the origins of the universe, but refuse to call up their mothers for the family’s chicken curry recipe.

    ~ Men are as anxious to talk about safe sex and STDs. Sorry to disappointed, but although men may be concerned about safe sex and STDs, they are much less likely to bring up the subject. In her book He Says, She Says professor Lillian Glass says that 70 percent of women (compared to 30 percent of men) were the first to bring up a problem including such topics as birth control and HIV testing. Although men are as aware as women about the dangers about unprotected sex and STDs, they are also more embarrassed when it comes to talking about it. So, they just let women to bring them up before offering any ideas of their own.

    ~ Men laugh at the same things women do. Whatever gave women the idea that men found gynecological jokes funny, I don’t know. Men are men, for crying out loud which part of that sentence do you not get? Research shows that while women jokes tend to be more focused on word play and puns; men’s jokes are more sarcastic and abrasive than women’s. When it comes to laughter, men and women do not see eye-to-eye. So, leave your penile dysfunction gags and soiled pad anecdotes alone when around the opposite sex, please.
