WE ARE WIRED DIFFERENTLY, MEN AND WOMEN part 1
Firstly, what we have in common
Do you sometimes expect reactions from your partner and be so shocked by what you get? Ofcourse!
When my husband and I were still dating, shopping was the worst activity we could ever do together. Now this is not because we dislike shopping, we actually enjoy it but the way we shop is so different. This is the same with almost everything. We enjoy a lot of things in common like cooking; he is great at it and I also have a food website, we both enjoy watching movies; weekends are our Netflix Nights as he would call it, we also enjoy travelling.
Differences
Men, I always say, are much easier individuals to deal with than women cause we women can be very petty and are easily affected by mood fluctuation when our hormones are allover the place. anyway, I drag my lovely husband into a shop to buy one item, what happens? He walks straight to the shelf to pick the item but I on the other hand know what we've come to buy but I see they have sales, they have new stock of some things we need in the house plus the item we've come to buy, I realise they have a variety now and I decide to compare prices so he is watching me go round, picking up items we have no business looking at in the first place (my dear friends, that is where the quarrel begins).
A man plans to get something, he goes straight for it, but a woman multitasks and juggles many ball at the same time in her head so you see her going round.
Our first New years day together, my husband treated me to a lavish lunch in a nice restaurant facing a promenade, I had romance in mind when we were deciding on a table, he pointed to a table and said, "this place looks great, what do you think?" It seemed okay so we sat there but while we were eating and talking, I realised he wasn't really contributing to the conversation as I expected, he is usually very exciting to chat with. His eyes kept darting away to something above my head so I got tired of trying to catch his attention and turned around; a football match was going on! That was when I realised he had been planning to watch that match and that was why he chose that restaurant and that table.
A woman thinks of romance, the man is thinking football.
I also learned to be careful when thinking of buying my husband gifts or when expressing affection. The mistake we as women make is when we buy our partner a gift or show him affection, we tend to take for granted what he would like and end up giving him what we would like to be given.
Know your partner's preferences, likes and dislikes, after all you are not doing it for yourself but for him.
