When we see you at the end of the day, and say “I have had a really hard day today.” just hold us and give us a hug instead of asking “Oh, really, what happened?” Sometimes, we don’t want you to make things right, we just need a hug.
When we ask you if that gorgeous, slimmer lady is more attractive than us, please say “Yes, but I’m sure she isn’t as great a wife/mother as you are.” Sometimes, we just want to be assured that we still matter.
When we ask you if we look fat in an outfit, please say “It suits you well.” If it really looks horrible, please say “I think you will look better in that other outfit.” Sometimes, we just need a little honesty.
When we ask you if you mind taking us out, even though there is a cricket match on TV please be honest and fix a time when it will not interfere with your match watching. Taking us out and then glancing at your watch every five minutes, makes us feel guilty. Sometimes, we appreciate straight forwardness too!
When we ask you if you miss us, when you go on those outstation trips, please lie a bit and say that you cannot wait to get back home, even if you are having a great time, at a five star hotel paid for by the company. Sometimes, we need to hear a bit of a lie too!
When we tell you that another guy seems nice, we aren’t thinking of getting into bed with him. We are probably thinking that he would make a nice husband for that still single girl-friend of ours. We are not mentally comparing you either. Sometimes, at least sometimes don’t doubt our intentions!
When you are driving us back home after a nice dinner at a restaurant and we ask you “Do you want to stop for Coffee?” please say yes, even if you really do not want coffee, because it means we are asking as we want to stop! Sometimes, we like you to mind-read too!
When we complain to you about our problems, please do NOT give us solutions. Sometimes, we just want you to listen and be sympathetic.
Oh, yes, and sometimes, just sometimes, get us flowers, chocolates and perfumes too!
See—it is so easy to please us—how can you say you don’t understand women!!

"When we complain to you about our problems, please do NOT give us solutions. Sometimes, we just want you to listen and be sympathetic."
This one is so very true. Infact women dont even want that problem to be solved, its just that they want men to listen up.. Thats how they are wired :-)

How and what is clear now, I guess. Only "when" and "where" is the confusion. But then, all women aren't the same. So, the "what" and "when" could be different for different women.
You left me more confused than ever.
Grrr... Oh, my hair is falling off... God, I have become bald!

That was a nice one ... Most of it is a part of being a good human being .It is well known that women are more subtle and they express things in not so concrete a manner. Men have choice .......either to crib about it or value and enjoy it ....
I don't think one has to lie in any way in this process. If one is true to ones heart and if there is love ... everything falls in place.

How to treat women from the experience of a married man who has posted this in several places:
married man left work early one Friday, but instead of going home, he
spent the weekend partying with the boys. When he finally returned home
on Sunday night, his wife really got on his case and stayed on it.
After a few of hours of swearing and screaming, his wife paused and
pointed at him and made him an offer. "How would you like it if you
didn't see me for a couple of days?".....
The husband couldn't believe his luck, so he looked up, smiled and said,
"That would suit me just fine!!"
Monday went by, and the man didn't see his wife.
Tuesday and Wednesday went by and he still didn't see her.
Come Thursday, the swelling went down a bit and he could see her a
little out of the corner of his left eye.
To cut the how to answer in short, the correct response would be "with great caution."

Dear Preeti,
Quite Interesting!
I particularly liked your line: "Sometimes, we appreciate straight forwardness too!".
Perhaps the word 'sometines' needs a bold font!
Hope you read Naresh Lalwani's replies too!

It was interesting to read a womans perspective on things, not that i understand women better now. I shall , probably never will...
When we ask you if we look fat in an outfit, please say “It suits you well.” If it really looks horrible, please say “I think you will look better in that other outfit.” Sometimes, we just need a little honesty.
I beg to differ on this...Please read my experiences on the issue on "Am I Fat?" on my page...:)
