How to communicate better with women … just what men love to read about, right? Say what now?! Most men DON’T LIKE TO TALK. Period. End of discussion.

So, men are from Mars and women are from Venus then? We’ve heard that kind of talk for ages. We’re obsessed with things that make us uniquely man or woman. However, although stereotypes can’t and don’t apply to all; the difference in communication between men and women are real.

Here’s the thing, we’re certainly the same species from the same planet, but unfortunately, that’s where it ends. Our brains are different in both structure and chemistry. Did you know that women have 11% more neurons in their brains for emotion, feelings, and communication? So yeah, when it comes to emotion and communication, women have an eight-lane superhighway, whereas men have a country road.

Men generally use language to report while women use language to build a rapport. Put simply: Men prefer the headline, and women prefer the story.

A man’s inferior parietal lobule that rules visual and spatial skills is larger than that of a woman; when it comes to sex, men have an international airport and women have an airport nearby that lands small and private planes!

Knowing how to talk to a woman may be the single most important skill a man can learn. Why? Communication is the first pillar which develops the base of any relationship. In fact, good communication is the reason some relationships work while others bomb.

Here are a few strategies on how to improve your communication skills:

• Just listen to her. Fight the urge to fix things. Men are natural problem solvers but what she needs is to be supported, validated and heard. Allow her to voice her fears and support her efforts. Patience is key. JUST LISTEN.
• Be vulnerable. The more you share, the closer you’ll become.
• Pick up on non-verbal cues. While women tend to make eye contact, men may not reciprocate. She might think that you’re not interested in what she has to say. If your partner says “My day was fine” but her tone is irritated and upset, there may be more to it.
• Nurture her. Women have the tendency of taking care of the men in their lives – and then resenting them for it. Nurturing needs to be played out in the context of a give-and-take relationship. She wants to feel that she’s on the receiving end as well.
• Never mistake her tears for weakness. Tears for women equal sadness, anger, excitement, and joy. And that’s not to mention “that time of the month” tears, “just having one of those days” tears and “I have no idea why I’m crying” tears. These are all signs of how strong she is to be real and vulnerable.

Remember, a woman wants to feel loved, always. When she’s upset, she doesn’t need space, she needs to be held. She wants to feel understood and emotionally secure, and off course, she wants to feel beautiful. Never stop wooing her. She wants to know that you only have eyes for her … so tell her that, often.
