A woman will always be a mystery to a man. The book "Woman. The Men's Guide, written by two married couples, contains tips and proven facts to help you understand the psychology of women and build healthy relationships with the opposite sex.
It's hard to say how much is innate and how much is acquired, but be that as it may, we live in a world that makes women fear for their safety and well-being. Men, as a rule, are brought up differently. Therefore, the attitude of men and women to such things as fear, safety and danger differs significantly.
Men need to understand that severe stress reduces their sense of fear, while for women, on the contrary, it causes a strong sense of fear, which is transferred to the future.
Women are more likely than men to experience fear as a reaction to stressful situations.
In addition, they experience much more fears during their life, and once they experience fear, they begin to fear that a similar situation will arise again in the future. This is the reality in which women live, and a deep awareness of this reality will change not only your understanding of the female sex, but also the understanding of your relationship with it.
So what do you need to do now that you know how fear and fear conditioning affect a woman? What will you start with? To start, when a woman is afraid, hold her hand. And even better - try to make it so that she has nothing to be afraid of.
Through non-verbal behavior and hints, women will let you know that they are not interested in you. If you decide to approach her without receiving a sign, you are at great risk of running into a refusal. The woman will give you a clear signal if she wants you to come, but just as clearly will signal “No entry”.
She is shy or not, but if she is not interested in you, the girl will clearly let you know this.
If you approach a woman and she continues to chat with her friend, it means that she is not interested in you. If she doesn't make eye contact with you while continuing a polite conversation, or if she's looking over your head while looking around the room, your chances are slim to none. If she yawns or looks away, it's best to leave. But there are times when a woman is interested, but is particularly shy and cannot look you straight in the eye. In this case, she may broadcast other signals of social excitement - for example, stammering while talking to you, or interspersing the conversation with a lot of different "mmm". But she is also passionate about conversation.
According to a study by Fiona Moore, PhD, from the University of Dundee, women find men who don't show tension to be much more attractive than those who have an excess of cortisone, the stress hormone, in their blood. Remaining outwardly calm is another of the significant evolutionary benefits in the eyes of women.
If a saber-toothed tiger is rushing into a cave, no woman wants her man to lose his temper and faint from horror.
Perhaps you, as a man, are not obsessed with the appearance of your body. Sexologist and lecturer Bernie Silbergeld, bestselling author of The New Male Sexuality, writes about how one medical drawing from his book had a huge impact on most men. These were images of erect penises of various sizes. All were different, all quite acceptable, and this fact struck the male readers. Most of the representatives of the stronger sex, assessing their own erection, believed that they "do not correspond." Consider the obsession most men have with the size, shape, and "fit" of their own penis. Now imagine that you feel exactly the same helplessness about your whole body and every part of it. Now you have some idea of how most women constantly feel about their own bodies.
Women have long been the property of men: the more beautiful and sensual they looked, the more money they gave as a bride price. Women were taught only housekeeping, most could neither read nor write, so the way they looked and dressed completely determined their personality. This went on for three thousand years - no wonder that such an order of things has firmly entered the flesh and blood of the weaker sex. Women compare themselves with other representatives of their sex from the first moment they become aware of it - and almost always find themselves desirable. They believe that appearance is of paramount importance.
Research has shown that women's anger stems from one or more of three main causes: helplessness, injustice, and other people's irresponsibility.
Understand and eliminate the reasons for the anger of your beloved.
So if you don't listen to your woman (or refuse to take your eyes off the TV remote), she gets angry because she feels helpless. If you do not treat her as an equal in the decision-making process, if you betray her trust, she feels unfair and, accordingly, angry. If you don't do your fair share of housework or don't show up when promised (the irresponsibility of others), she gets mad at you.
