Perception

We sometimes see things the way we see them because it is the way we expect them to be.  So are gender differences really there?  Or do we just expect to see them there?  What do you think?

Analytical or Over Analytical?

This is so funny.  It seems like women really take many more factors into consideration when they are making their decisions.  Perhaps that is part of what helps women to supposedly be better able to multi-task than men?  Or perhaps it is part of what helps men to supposedly be better able to take charge and make decisions than women?  Do you find yourself considering multiple aspects of a product or situation before making your decision?  Or do you find yourself cutting to the chase and just making the decision (shampoo is shampoo after all)?

What Do You Want From a Man/Woman?

I posted 2 articles from "Elite Daily".  One is about what women want in a man, and the other is what men want in a woman.  I have to say, I liked the article about what women want from men better than what men want from women.  I'm not saying that I disagree or agree with the author, but I did not like how the article was written.  But it was the closest "match" I could find.  I wanted to try to give a somewhat equal counterpoint here.  It isn't perfect, but it will suffice.

Obviously we can talk about stereotypes about what men want vs what women want.  But I was hoping for a discussion of a more serious nature.  When you are looking for that one person you are going to spend the rest of your life with, what is it that you are looking for?  What do you want?  If you are involved now, do you have what you want in your relationship?

I myself have been in several relationships, most of which obviously have failed at one point or another (or I would still be in those relationships).  Is it that I expect too much?  Perhaps I'm looking for an unattainable ideal?  Would you like to comment on successes and/or failures you have had in your relationships?  I would love to chat with you!

What Men Want

1. Every guy has his certain type.

2. Every guy seeks some who’s humble and has a chill personality.

3. Men want a girl with whom they can converse.

4. Men like attention, too.

5. Men love when women get a little jealous.

6. Men want 100 percent of a woman.

What Women Want

1. Honesty – but not too much of it.

2. Understanding – so that she doesn’t feel the need to have to explain herself.

3. Caring – she needs to know she matters to you.
4. Strength – both mental and physical.
5. Compassion – shows her you’re capable of loving.
6. Security – financial and literal.
7. Blind Loyalty – she wants to be the only woman he has eyes for.

Negative or Positive, Feminine or Masculine


What do you think of these axes?  We have the negative/positive axis vs the feminine/masculine axis.  I liked the way there were some positive traits listed for males and for females, though it seemed that the "positive feminine" was a little sparse.

What would you add to this?  Would you take anything away?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!  Please feel free to comment!

Men vs Women: Communication Styles

I have heard this before, that men state it like it is, right to the point, and women do not.  It's interesting to think of women always prefacing and apologizing.  I hadn't really thought about that.  I will have to make some observations and see if that seems true.  I will say though that I had a female boss once who would always say, "maybe it would be a good idea if you ..." before she told you what she wanted you to do.  Have you noticed any differences between male and female bosses in your career?

"Guys are straightforward with what they need."

"Women often feel the need to apologize and preface their requests. WHY DO WE DO THAT?"
