About Allan Pease Allan Pease has written eleven bestselling books on the subject of human communication and body language, including, with his wife,… More about Allan Pease. Men spend their whole lives jockeying with other guys for status and respect. So let him know when things are going well, but try not to brag too much about your new Mercedes or finishing your first Iron Man triathlon.
And while lots of men are proud of their high-achieving partners, others are still intimidated by an accomplished woman. Relationship do: Do what you do. Stay your amazing self. But you need advice or an answer to a question, and he can multi-task, right? Not always. Relationship do: Be patient. Just try again later. If you have a serious question, he might need time to think about his response. Ask your question and give him space. Then come back later. While men view conversation as a means to an end, some women not all just like to talk, and can go on and on without pausing.
Instead, many men will just shut down. Relationship do: Remember that a conversation goes two ways. Slow down, edit yourself and ask for feedback. Your girlfriend made you angry today. You know she means well, but how could she think that was the right thing to do? You want him to listen, nod his head, give you a hug and make you feel better. They are much better at communicating, and are better at multi-tasking.
Women are also better at multi-tracking; keeping track of conversations about multiple topics simultaneously. One of the best aspects of this book, is that not only do the authors point out the differences between men and women, but a lot of very practical advice is given. Both men and women are given advice about how to make allowances for the opposite sex. You see, people have been instilled with the idea that men and women are identical, and people think that others think along the same lines as themselves.
But this just isn't true. Men have big advantages spatial thinking, problem solving and women have big advantages communications, observation and intuition , simply due to the wiring of brains. I highly recommend this book; it is so fun, and contains so many pearls of wisdom that ring true.
In our modern society, it is not politically correct to assume that men and women are anything but equal, and equality is defined as exactly the same. Same desires, same goals, and same needs. Allan Pease and his wife Barbara write that this is anything but how it really is.
Neither sex is superior to the other, but they assert we are unquestionably different. From an evolutionary psychology perspective, our brains have been wired for different priorities based upon thousands of years of unique responsibilities while ensuring the survival of the next generation.
Pease cites empirical research along with illustrative anecdotes. While mostly focused on heterosexual relationships, it also devotes a wonderful chapter to the biological basis for homosexuality as a natural phenomenon.
Once we can logically explain these differences as the result of hardwired neurological developments, we can lessen the pressure on ourselves and our partner and accept one another as we are.
Also, reading this, it's critical to remember much of what is discussed is generalization and not indicative of every man and every woman.
Even if it's not their natural proclivity, men can learn to listen and be more sensitive with the women. Likewise, a woman can better learn to enjoy the male tendency to interpret "romance" as doing something practical for her.

How the Fight Start I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary? So I suggested, "How about the kitchen? My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV? When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive.

And then the fight started Intinya, joke diatas itu mengungkapkan kekurangpekaan laki2 dalam berkomunikasi dengan perempuan :D satu lagi deh, merujuk kejudul awalnya "Why Men Don't Listen" ada joke lain tentang laki2 yang berusaha "mendengar" To Be 6 Again A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday.
On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off they went to a local theme park. What a day! Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down.
Right to a McDonald's they went, where her husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed. He leaned over and lovingly asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being six again? Men are from earth.
Women are from earth. So, deal with it. While you see it your way, Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone. We can work it out, We can work it out. Think of what you're saying. You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right. Think of what I'm saying, We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.

While you see it your way There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long. In all other situations, a nod is all the conversation you need. Jane Dee. According to this book, I am "more likely" to be a lesbian because I have a masculine brain. This book also supports evolution but says that "Nature wants us to procreate and uses powerful drugs to do so. And why does it have wants? The advice in this book is stupid.
The female author claims that she still has trouble finding her way home - yeah maybe because she is stupid not because she is female.
