Some men are so freakin clueless it makes me cringe. They either have zero sensitivity on their radar or they fail to pick up subtle hints from their partner on purpose. It’s amazing to watch these men in action, really. Toss your ego aside boys: It’s not a sign of masculine weakness to do so. And take note of the five biggest ways you fail to communicate:
PAYING ATTENTION TO NON VERBAL HINTS: When your girlfriend is upset or angry, you should just know. Not by the tone in her voice, but by her body language. Pay attention men- if you’re not quick to respond, you’re either a jerk who could care less, or completely oblivious to nonverbal communication.
BEING A PASSIVE LISTENER: No guys, this isn’t a good trait! Active listening is the good trait. We hate feeling like a broken record as much as you hate hearing us repeat ourselves! Concentrate, have patience and just listen once in a while. You don’t always have to dominate conversation and have the last word.
MAKING TIME: If you can set aside time to eat, have sex or watch football, why not time to talk? We don’t care if it’s about the weather- just talk! Women need quality time whenever possible. Even an hour of just “us” time will make a world of difference so you need to prioritize.
LETTING HER KNOW YOU CARE: Roll your eyes if you must, but you all know it’s true. No matter how intense the situation, you should always take a breather and let your girl know you love her. Touch her little button nose, stroke her hair, or just simply say, I LOVE YOU. Even the smallest bit of sensitivity lets us know you care.
FIGHTING TIL THE DEATH: Face it- you always have to be right and you have the instinct to win at everything you partake in. As a result, you find yourself in the most common relationship predicament, failure to communicate.
Always remember that communication is a two-way street requiring proper delivery of message, as well as an active listener to process the information. No matter what words are chosen, body language can’t mask our true emotions. Keep your ego hidden, be compassionate and sensitive. This should give you a greater understanding of yourself, your partner and what your relationship needs to survive.
