13 Things Men Can't Get Right

Feb 18, 2019 by apost team

Are women really that big of a mystery? After all this time, men still claim that women are simply too hard to understand. The trouble with understanding women is that you have to try and think rationally.

Women are never understood the way that they want to be. Men make it out to be some sort of hard game with secret levels that only the ones with a cheat code can understand. Have you ever wondered why this is? 

Check out these 13 things that men never get right.

1. "I'm fine."

When women say this simple phrase it might mean quite the opposite. She could say this for a variety of reasons. Maybe she thinks the thing that's bothering her isn't important enough to discuss out loud. Maybe she doesn't expect you to know exactly what she needs or wants, but she does want you to be sensitive and empathetic towards her. Just let her know that you are there for her.

2. "I need space."

They don't want to see other people or split up. They're just asking for some personal time to spend on themselves. It has nothing to do with you. This isn't your chance to go find a side girl. If you're committed, give your love the desired space she needs and she'll come back in no time happier than ever.

3. Overreacting

There tends to be a common thought that women overreact all the time. It's simply not true. Women think completely differently and more sensitively than men. They're very analytical and look deep into things. It's not her fault if the man isn't capable of thinking in the same manner.

Try and understand her. Look at things from a different point of view.

4. Don't sugarcoat things.

Women need and want to know the truth all of the time. They can have full knowledge of the answers they seek, but still ask questions just to watch you squirm in a pack of lies. In short, just be honest with her always.

There is no need for lies.

5. Wanting a fantasy life

Many women love a good romantic comedy and they won't hesitate to drag you to the movies to watch one. This is because that's the way they want to be treated. They love the fantasy life and want that to be their life.

As often as possible, make her life as perfect as you can. She'll be ever so grateful.

6. Being honest with their feelings

Women truly want to know how men are doing. They want you to give them a deep answer when they ask questions. Tell them your thoughts and how you're really feeling. Let her know that you don't have any doubts about sharing your inner self with her.

She wants to know the real you.

7. Remembering important dates and moments

This is important not just for your partner but for anyone in your life! It's not that hard to put some special dates in your calendar or set some reminders on your phone.

If nothing else, you need to keep up with significant milestones regarding your relationship. Don't ever forget your anniversary!

8. Kindness does not equal romantic interest.

You can buy drinks for any woman and she may or may not accept it. And if she does accept it, this doesn't mean that she is romantically interested in you. She may just be grateful for the drink. Buying a drink in no way indicates that a woman will be going home with you.

Love, integrity, and even affection is worth a lot more than a free drink.

9. Being a gentleman

Women still love to be treated with respect. They love when they find someone that is a true gentleman. If they want the door opened for them, they don't want to have to hint around about it.

Be a gentleman without being asked.

10. Surprise gifts and gestures

She may tell you not to get her a gift on Christmas or Valentine's. But the truth is, she wants you to get her a gift without telling you to do so. To her, this means that you were thinking of her and wanted her to know that.

The price of the gift doesn't matter. It's truly the thought that counts.

11. Texting etiquette

Always reply to your girl. It doesn't matter what you are doing. A lack of a reply text tells her that whatever you are doing is more important than her.

Take a second, put down the controller, put down the weights, and simply reply to her.

12. The hair tie that's always on her wrist

Every woman needs to be ready for whatever life throws at her at any given time. She wants to be prepared to pull her hair up and take on anything. This is why she will usually be sporting a hair tie on her wrist.

It will most likely be used at some point during the day, every day.

13. Honest advice and compliments

A woman will ask her partner how she looks. And she wants to hear the truth. She also doesn't want to hear a generic answer like, "Good!". Put a little more thought into it and make her feel radiant.
