'Men are from Mars, women are from Venus'
I'm sure you've heard this before. It's a saying from the title of a well known book.
Men and women are certainly different.
There are deep biological and psychological differences between the sexes...more than most of us appreciate.
Maybe a handbook on this would save us a lot of the heartache we go through in life trying to find our ideal mate.
Some of us are lucky enough to just find that one that is perfect for us.-most of us aren't though and have to go through a lot of heartache and disappointment.
So perhaps an education in understanding the opposite sex would pay off more than wading blindly through the dating jungle with our fingers crossed.
Gender Roles and Pressures
Guys and girls certainly have a difference in opinion over certain things and often give the other a hard time.
-A lot of that comes from not understanding the different psychological and biological differences, and the PRESSURES and expectations that life places on the opposite sex...
....to play and fulfil certain roles
....to look or be a particular way
etc, etc.
So that means that both sexes are experiencing life from very different standpoints.
Goals and Fulfilment
Most women want to be loved, cherished and feel protected.
Even driven high-flying career women feel more fulfilled when they have found their love, feel protected, and settled in a family.
The man's position in life is different. Not that he doesn't value these same things ,he does, but in a different way.
First, he has a psychological need and drive to be the protector and provider....
and
his biological drives are very different to the woman's.
These differences in drive mean that the priorities of women and men would be very different.
Not understanding these differences leads to conflicts, fall outs and breakups.
Understanding is the key
But seeing the world from your partner's standpoint would help you to understand THEIR pressures, drives and goals and why they behave in certain ways.
Men and women have different emotional needs.
Most women don't understand the deep desires and driving forces within men-that makes them act so different from us. This leaves us bewildered and baffled...sometimes just when we think we're doing everything right.
At times everything seems to be going so well, and all of a sudden, it's not!
Why?
What happened?
You try to make sense of things.
How did your 'wonderful' relationship all of a sudden go bad?
The differences in the psychological and biological drives of the sexes' drives holds a lot of the answers.
Most worthwhile goals in life require that bit of effort....love is no different.
