What Women Would like from Their Men: Part 2

I did the first part of this article a few months ago. At the time I thought doing the second part would be really easy, but I found that I needed time to think about what I needed to say. My husband believes that women and men are actually different species. I am starting to believe that he just may be right. The longer I live and the more men I have interacted with I do know that we are very, very different in just about everything. Most men haven't a clue about what a woman wants in a relationship. Quite a few of them could care less what we do want, let alone what we need. I thought that I would like to place a few more suggestions down on paper just in case there is a man or two out there who might actually be interested in finding out a bit more about the women in his life.

Women are not as much of a mystery as most men seem to think that they are. Women are just a lot more in touch with their emotions and not afraid to let anyone know that fact. I guess a lot of this falls back on us women and the way we let our baby boys be taught about showing their feelings. Most fathers immediately start telling their crying baby boys that "Big boys don't cry," or that they must "be brave." Little girls are picked up, cuddled and kissed when they cry. I didn't raise my son that way, and if you were, for this I am truly sorry. Women do want to know you have feelings and I have never known a woman that thought their man was a sissy if he showed his emotions by laughing, or by crying, for that matter. If you are having a sad thought, or your feelings are hurt, let us know. We might understand much more than you thought we would, and we won't slam the door on you because we feel you are weak.
