Things women wish men knew

Relationships are largely based on the paradigms of gender differences. While discussing 10 things men hate about women and 10 things women hate about men, we had focused on generic behaviors that annoys the other gender. Digging deeper, there is a set of emotion which deals with knowing each other. There is a lot of stuff lying dormant in each partner which needs some understanding. We keep on thinking what women want. But if we knew what all she expects, things are definitely going to be lot more simple, or should we say uncomplicated. Men perhaps would be in a better position to deliver up to the expectations.
Love life often suffers from the ignorance syndrome. We do not attempt to explore the unseen and unsaid. Ask any happy couple and then will tell you stories of endless communication. They would indulge in research and understanding what the other partner wants. Ironically, couples complain of the oblivion towards emotional needs. But we also do not make enough efforts to gather information on what the beloved wants.
We got some young women to open and share things they would want their partner to know. Today, let’s take a cursory look at things that women want their men to know. Perhaps there are half a million things women wish men knew but today we will look at few of them. Guys, we hope you are taking down notes.
