Are you listening to me . . . How to decipher women. Part 1

Men have you ever been hanging out with a female friend, or your girlfriend, or a female family member and you accidentally said the wrong thing and you had no clue what happened. Well I'm here to help you understand every situation about women. Being a woman, myself, I have faced several different guys and came across several different situations where he said or did something so wrong that the outing was completely ruined. I have some quick tips for you on how to make sure you don't say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Tip #1
Actually listen to her. (Even if you don't care!)

Tip number one is very obvious but for some people listening is very difficult. And now let me define the word listen, to listen means that you heard what I said and you can repeat it back to me. Trust me just listening and showing that you are listening will get you everywhere.

Tip #2
Unless she is asking you to help her with a problem, DO NOT offer any solutions or answers to solve whatever she is telling you.

She does not want your advice all she wants from you is a person to talk to. All you need to do is listen, look interested, and pay attention. This is a personal problem of mine and I know some girls have the same problem, we need to know that you are listening so every so often nod (only applies if you are talking in person), and say "alright I understand, keep going. "

Tip #3
Beware when she is asking you for honesty.

This is the most dangerous and argument charged tip. When she is asking you about clothes, if it really makes her look fat, DO NOT say "yeah", instead say "well it looks a bit tight, maybe you should get one size bigger." Also if it the clothes are too big, DO NOT say "that looks like a tent on you" or "you're drowning in fabric," instead say "that it looks a little baggy, try to find a smaller size." That will make you both happy, because you "solved" a problem and she feels like you are being honest. When it is about a relationship between you and this woman be completely open and honest, so neither party is blindsided later on in the relationship (for both dating and friendships). If she is asking you for your honest opinion about a relationship she is in, DO NOT be harsh, be kind and take her feelings into consideration.


This is the end of How to decipher women Part 1. Please post comments, good or bad, all comments are welcome. Just let me know what you are thinking and feeling about this article. Part 2 will be put up soon. Please try to remember to read my other article about writing that perfect paper.

In tip #2, you state that guys should not offer advice, but you do not explain why not. You repeat that guys should outwardly listen, but I would also like to know what the problem may be with offering advice.
Thanks.

The reason why I said that guys should not offer advice was because she DID NOT ask for advice. When she is just talking to you the girl is not interested in your advice. She is most likely venting her anger or rage at something. When she says "now what do you think" that is your cue to offer advice.
