When I first became interested in writing a relationship book, I knew I would need a plethora of views, opinions and experiences to make this thing legit. After speaking with over 300 people, I saw a common theme- Women most often think men are complex and men tend to think the same about women-how ironic. I being a male tend to think that we are simple but we sometimes play on words. Let me give a few examples of when we are at times guilty of this. I call this...."this is what I am saying but this is what I really mean.............."
When he says what is your favorite color--he means maybe I can get my money back if she doesn't like pink.
When he says I am really into my job--he means My career comes first!
When he says My wife and I are are separated--he means He and his wife are separated!
When he says Lets just be friends--he means there are other women in my life!
When he says Lets talk about it some other time--he means the subject is closed!!
When he says we could go back to my place but its a little messy--he means he is a slob!!
All I am trying to impress upon you is that we men tend to speak through our actions and not really say words. On average women use 500 more words per day than men. Illustration: I can talk to my boy Rollow about his entire day just by raising my eye brows (what up dawg)and he frowns (the old lady is tripping)I nod my head and upside down frown(oh well can't live with them and can't kill them-legally)he half smiles(true-true)I point to the fridge(do you want a beer) he nods back with a smile (heck yeah)and then we watch the game in silence.
