What women want
Psychology is not exactly my strong point, though I’ve on various occasions tried to understand a woman’s psyche simply to make a good impression on the opposite sex.
While I can’t boast of extraordinary results in this field, despite my own Cupid capers of marrying my college sweetheart, I compiled for a college psychology newsletter last year a list of 10 ways to improve your relationship with a woman. This is especially for men who really have no clue about ‘what women want’.
For starters, empathise with her but resist the temptation to solve her problems. Or else they will become your problems.
Give her four hugs a day. But don’t get overambitious and offer a fifth hug, unless you want to answer the question - "How come you are so romantic today?"
Offer to give her a back or neck or foot massage, but not all three at the same time—especially on a day when the two of you have argued over the correct spelling of infidelity.
Take her side when she is upset with someone. If she is left-handed, then stay on her right side to avoid coming in the way of her frantically moving hand while she is talking.
Notice how she is feeling and comment on it—"You look happy today" or "You look tired"—but don’t ever say "You look awful today. What happened?"
Women are very sensitive to sense of humour. It’s something they don’t always understand—neither yours nor their own! But you must laugh at all her jokes and never react the way she does to yours, which is usually "Not funny at all!" or "That’s sick!"
After marriage, offer to fix something around the house. Say, "What is it that needs to be fixed around here? I’ve some extra time." Chances are she might say, "Our relationship!" but you better not take out a bottle of glue at that moment.
Compliment her on her looks but don’t ask for your glasses immediately after you’ve done so!
As your relationship grows old along with age, give her 20 minutes of unsolicited, quality attention before you ask her: "Where’s my hearing aid?"
Also don’t leave the toilet seat down. And don’t spend too much time in there.
I guess this short session on a woman’s psychology should take you through life with a girlfriend whom you intend to marry in the distant future. But if you haven’t had much success with women yet, I would advise you to try the Art of Living!
