MEN AND WOMEN: are they different?

Many people are of the opinion that men and women are the same when it comes to character and personality. But they are wrong. What they do not understand is men and women were made different physically as well as emotionally. Women may have equal understanding as men, but most of the time they do not think that deeply to draw a conclusion or solve a problem the way a man solves it. In order to resolve issues, especially issues related to relationships, one has to be clear about the differences between men and women and then act accordingly.

First and foremost, the difference between men and women is their way of problem solving. Their thought process is entirely different when it comes to household issues, and therefore they both propose different solutions to the same problem. Men usually do not consider a lot of issues as problems, whereas women take almost everything that causes tension and uproar in the house as trouble which if not solved correctly will lead to more difficulties and more tensions. Men have to understand regarding this matter and let their partners happily go about solving small household issues.

Men and women also differ in their approach to communication. Men are usually secretive about their inner thoughts and feelings and most of the time they like to resolve their problems internally rather than discussing them with their partner. Women on the other hand are more open and want to discuss each and every problem that comes up with their partner. They want to lighten their burden by doing so and for that matter they expect the man in their life to be an active listener and a good advisor. Men have no such expectations from their partner.

Sensitivity is another area where men and women differ from each other. It is a universally known fact that women are much more sensitive than men. A woman needs an outlet for her emotions. Most of the time she calms her senses through tears. Men are sensitive too, but they do not like to show the world their weaker side. They hide their feelings well behind that faqade of physical superiority. Women are sometimes ignorant of the fact that men also need condolence and sympathy at times, but the difference is that they do not ask for it. In this matter, women need to be very careful in order to make a relationship successful and they should understand their partners emotions and accordingly react to them.

Men have a sharper memory than women but their areas of focus are entirely different than what women perceive of them. They remember the directions, locations and the names and addresses of important associates etc. Women on the other hand tend to remember special events connected with emotions. They remember when an event took place, how well a person was dressed up, where to find a missing object and so on. Men consider these things useless and easily forgotten. Here both parties have to accept the difference between their ability to remember and therefore forgive each other for not remembering an event or a person that was important to either one of them.

In order to ensure a healthy relationship one has to keep in mind the fact that men and women were not made equal. They both have different attributes which when combined will lead any relationship to its success. So do not overlook your partners priorities and at the same time fulfill your own duties whole-heartedly. Only then you will be able to live a happy and fruitful life.
