How to understand women

If you’ve spent most of your life around other men, you may not know where to start when it comes to women. You’ve come to the right place, because I have some suggestions that will help you understand women!

If you have some platonic female friends that you can hang around with, this is an excellent way to start getting to understand women. It will also increase your confidence at dealing with women; confidence comes from experience. Just do this in ordinary everyday situations, such as a shopping trip. Don’t do it in dating settings if you’re trying to understand women.

The next thing to look at are women’s magazines. If you haven’t got ready access to any, going to a shop any buying some is easy enough! Have a quick look through them, and choose some that seem to be aimed at your type of woman. If the very thought of this leaves you terrified, just remember that people care most about themselves, and if they should happen to see you looking through a woman’s magazine, they really don’t care. It’s also not at all unusual. I admit to having flicked through more women’s magazines than men’s magazines in my time, simply because they often do have content that’s worth reading far more than a lot of men’s magazines. I’ve seen men reading women’s magazines in doctor’s waiting areas and the like, and I have done this myself.

First note: unlike the advice afforded by many publications, you don’t have to comment that you’re buying it for your sister or girlfriend. Do so if it helps, but if you do this, you’ll likely come across as unnatural, and that very act is likely to raise eyebrows. Even if it does, as long as you don’t know the shop assistant, that’s fine! Whenever I’m buying any feminine item, magazine, lingerie or whatever, I act as if it’s the most natural thing in the world for me to be doing. (Acting like this is a good confidence trick, by the way.) As with anything else, the only reason you’re scared is that you’ve never done it before.

Just a quick note about women’s magazines. You’ll probably not understand women much from the type of magazine that has a heavy content bias towards celebrity gossip. Whereas a lot of women want to know about celebrities, learning about them yourself won’t do you a great deal of good! My suggestion is therefore to avoid those magazines that go into detail on celebrities’ relationships, weddings, etc.

You may think, why go to the supermarket and spend money? Isn’t all of this supposed to be on the Internet? You’re right! An excellent website for women is iVillage. They have links to other websites for women that are also of interest.

I also recommend that you watch some women’s TV sitcoms such as Sex and the City. You’ll get an insight into what women talk about together, but not usually to men. You may eventually find that when you understand women well enough, they start talking to you about subjects that they would usually reserve for other women, and that will improve your understanding even further!

Don’t forget to post your own hints and tips that you have found useful. Best of luck!

    Seeing Live web TV Channels has never been as easy as this. I love sites like tvchannelsforfree.com but they are full with advertisements. Seetor.com has actually the same options but it looks very fast and they even have Live Radio Streams. If I want to watch BBC or National Geographic or maybe even Nascar too keep my husband quiet, it’s no hassle.Visit TV to see it for yourself! Enjoy live broadcasts
