Thank you so much for this information, Cynthia!
I passed it onto my husband, in hopes that our relationship can improve. I look forward to reading your next post about what men need from women.

All of these are true. I would say that I don’t need a man to constantly “chase” me, but throughout our interactions there should be some of that so I know and am treated like I matter.

Thank you for sharing this important information – so many men do believe that they can say or do something to show they love their women just once, and expect her to remember it, to be able to recall the moment, words, sensations….to pull them up years later, on a whim, as needed….and we women know that it does not work that way. And same with the other things men need to know AND REMEMBER, AND APPLY DAILY……there’s no way around it…..relationships are not like a biz-in-a-box, which is set up once and runs on its own after that….they require an investment of one’s self – all of it, and often……or a man need not expect his woman to behave in the manner he has fantasized……..especially during the troubling and difficult times in this country and the world……now, more than ever…….do your jobs, men! 🙂

Hi Cynthia,
Terrific post. As a militant feminist, #4 is right on the money. Similar thinking to the lyrics of "Born to Run" —
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend.
I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands cross my engines.
This attitude does it for me!

In reply to ryan.

Ryan,

You sound like a fabulous boyfriend. I agree you’re walking the line to kiss her when she’s upset, but you can always tell her that you LOVE her. 🙂

I've been around enough rodeos to recognize the truth of this post. And I love that these truths are said straight, but gently and with humor.
To be succinct, men who would be successful in communicating with women should memorize and act on these simple (ok, not so simple, but real) principles.
On the other hand, women who would be successful in communicating with men should learn "5 Things Women Need to Know About Men." Both sides need to learn to dance with the other. Neither side is right, they're just different from each other. Fair is fair!
And since I can't quickly come up with a reference to the other side of the equation, I suppose I'll just have to go write one now. 🙂
Great post!
