If you asked me what the perfect word I would use to describe women, I would say that we are nothing short of complex. Trying to learn how to speak Latin, which is a dead language, may actually be easier than trying to read what’s on a woman’s mind.

The average woman personifies a million different roles in a 24-hour period. They are moms, young professionals, best friends to other complicated ladies, stressful students, and the other half of your relationship. When men try to understand women, nothing happens. Often times, women are compared to men, which leads to further frustration.

What you need to understand is that women are their own special type of being. Yes, they over-complicate things, but they are strong, they are willing, they are caring, determined, and loving, and just about any other adjective in the dictionary all in a period of a 24-hour day.

As an emerging lady in society today, things like “What is he thinking?” or “If only he knew…” constantly run through my head, even in my own relationships. My goal is to help men try to figure us out. Truthfully, it will never happen, but I can at least give you some pointers when you’re faced with the complexity of women.

The Things Men Should Know

1. We’re impatient.

When we say dinner is at 7 p.m. please, please don’t show up at 7:15. We like order.

2. The common belief that the gifts that come from the heart are the best types, is certainly true.

We don’t expect fancy, expensive, and sparkly gifts, although they do look nice on. A true “from the heart” thoughtful gift, will earn you major brownie points.

3. We are strong and resilient, but we still need a little nurturing every now and then.

The variety of roles that we play in a day is exhausting. Married men, it’s your turn to watch the kids tonight. Let her go out, pamper herself, and enjoy being alone, she needs it.
