10 things women wish men knew

Let's face it, men and women are different. Men and women are different physically as well as psychologically. Men and women are different but there is one thing, however, that they have in common and that is, that both are at a loss when it comes to understanding their opposite. Sometimes our differences can cause problems in our relationships. Below are ten possible wishes that women wish men knew about which can help men relate to women. Because I cannot speak for all women, the wishes below are from my perspective as a woman.

1. Wish men knew how we operate

Men, it would be great if you could relate to us on an emotional level because that's how we express ourselves. Feeling is at the core of our being. Everything effects us in a feeling kind of way, such as, people, places, things and experiences. Since we are moved by feelings, we will react and express ourselves based on our feelings. We feel all kinds of feelings throughout our day, such as, happiness, sadness, worry, fear and anger. One minute, you may see us cry and the next minute, you may see us laughing. A dreary environment can also effect our feelings, that's why we go out of our way to beautify our homes. Since our environment effects our feelings, it would be wise for you to take us out to beautiful places.

2. Communication is important to us

We love to talk because it makes us feel connected. We need emotional connection and talking is how we get it. Talking also helps us to release our feelings. If we do not talk, we will become overwhelmed by feeling too many feelings. To connect with us, you need to communicate because silence to women, is a sign that something is wrong.

3. We love to feel cared for

We know how good it feels to be cared for from those we have cared for. Women love to be cared for. If a woman is sick, nurture her back to health, bring her some soup and help her with the chores that have been neglected. If a woman is upset, hold her and talk out her feelings with her, this will help her move on to happier feelings. Women also love to be touched in a non sexual way. They love holding hands and to be held and cuddled too. Another way that a woman feels cared for is when a man caters to her. There is something sexy about a man who opens doors for us, runs us a bath and brings dinner to us once in awhile. If you care for a woman in this fashion, she may never doubt your love for her.

4. We love appreciation

We show love for a man through our dedication.
