How Women Think

I always love the little comics that  attempt to explain how women think. They seem to be pretty spot on sometimes.Check out:  What Women Say Vs. What They Mean. These crack me up and are so true!  I thought of a few other pointers. Women, you can tell me if I am right, and men-well, you should read up to understand us a little better. These are some common things that we women wish you knew.

• When we are angry at you or you have let us down in some way, explaining your circumstances usually does not help. An apology is better than an excuse at this point, because whether you meant to or not, we are upset, and we want you to fix it.
• Sometimes we want to complain to you and not have you fix anything. This is usually when you are not the culprit, but we need to vent about work, about life, about the skinny little lady who moved in across the street...you name it. Just pretend to listen when we go on and on about whatever topic is driving us nuts.
• Give us time to be mad. We fought. We both apologized, and now you are fine but you see, most women are not yet. We need to fume a bit more, even if you are forgiven. It is hard to turn the switch off and on that fast. 
• We need to know where you are a lot of the times. Believe it or not, this is not some control-seeking, dictator of your world move. It is likely because we tend to manage the family events, kids' soccer games, school activities, social calendar, doctor's visits...you name it. Likely, you inadvertently put us in charge of a lot of this because you think we are better at details. This means that if you have to work late or even if you are getting off early-it helps to know. 
• We probably don't like all your friends. Shocking, right? Bet you don't feel exactly the same about ours. We try to tolerate them. Some are ok, some are great, and some....well, not so much. But we love you, so don't take it personally. Likely you were buddies before we came into the picture, so as long as we tolerate them , know that with some friends it is a bigger act of love than others. :)

I'd love to hear (read) what my readers think, and if you are one of the handful of men that read me often-if you are willing to be my guinea pig, I'd love to ask you some questions about things men wished that women knew! Seriously! :) Email me at sarahbrice11@gmail.com, on Facebook or comment on here and I'll begin our conversation.
