Why Men Are So Confusing to Women

By Tyler Armstrong

In my years of talking with and helping women, one question that just about every woman has asked me relates to what makes men tick and how they can understand men better. Most women aren't taught how men really think and what men really want, and this leaves women in our society perplexed and confused.

It's no wonder that men confuse women at all. The fact of the matter is that the male brain actually operates extremely differently from the female brain, creating a perplexing situation for women. This concept has been popular ever since a certain best selling book was published in the 90s, and it isn't any less true today.

In order for a woman to understand men, she has to first understand male psychology. And to understand male psychology, a woman has to accept and come to grips with the fact that men are actually wired to think differently.

If you don't believe me, let me use an example. Ever notice how women are very interested in discussing their emotional feelings and their ideal relationship? What they want their wedding to be like, and who their dream man is?

On the other hand, not very many men talk about those things. Instead, most men take sort of a passive attitude when it comes to their love life, just cruising by and going after whatever shiny object happens to be in their life at the moment. They don't put a whole lot of emotional time or investment into pondering love or their relationships.

It's pretty obvious that most guys are not all that into discussing deeply emotional things with their buddies. Instead, "guy talk" usually consists of seemingly shallow conquests and goals.

The key to understanding men is to stop fighting the differences and instead, accepting the fact that you will never completely see eye to eye with a man. Once you accept this fact, you can begin to use male psychology to your advantage rather than viewing it as a hurdle that you must overcome.

Another thing to keep in mind is that both men and women are emotional creatures who base the majority of their actions on their feelings. Still, upon close examination, it becomes apparent that men often try to hide their emotions by rationalizing them with makeshift logic that doesn't always make sense. Ever wonder why men often act in ways which are very confusing, and can sometimes seem dishonest? Well, that facet of male psychology has a lot to do with it.

If you understand and accept the tenderness at the center of a man's heart and approach it just the right way, you will stand out as one of the few women who really understand men and what makes them tick. Women who understand men typically have much more rewarding love lives with the type of partner that they want, so there is definitely a payoff involved in understanding men.
