What Women Can Actually Learn from Men

August 6th, 2011 - By Rashana A. Hooks

How to be practical

As much as I believe women are much smarter than men, there is a small clause. Men are a tad bit more practical than women when it comes to separating your heart from your head. They are wired to only comprehend facts, so feelings are usually secondary when it comes to decision making. This is probably the reason why women become frustrated at times with their man when they don’t ‘understand’ how they feel. I’m not saying women should mirror men and eliminate their natural nurturing personality; I just want to shed light on how we can learn to separate our emotions what needs to be done. Take note…

    what can women learn most from men?

  • Analyst

    This seems foolish and dumb. Men and women are different, that should be celebrated rather than trying to make women more like men.

    This is actually a pretty good list! I give compliments to everyone, I don't hold grudges or apologize for voicing my opinion, but I do think the characteristics listed are more common among women.

    i agree with most of these things. Men are just simpler creatures than we are and since they are wired a different way its a little easier for them to do what may be impossible for us females. My man is a brush it off the shoulder guy. Hes a master negotiator. He only apologizes when he means it. He says what he means and his actions prove it. Yeah. I could be a little bit more like him but then i wouldnt be me :)

    I don't like to always point out the negative, but there are quite a few typos and grammatical errors in this article. This site has real potential to be great, but those type of errors need to be brought down to a minimum if this site is to receive any form of credibility.

    On point @ YaTuSabe! On a side note it would be nice if a study was done to determine where most of these good men reside lol

    No shock here. This is why its so hard for women to get along with other women. I've never been the emotional type. I have no problem with giving compliments. I don't hold grudges. I'm not going to automatically take your side in an argument JUST because your my best bud. I won't talk about you behind your back, but I will avoid you if I feel you dislike me.

    The funny thing is when some men meet a woman who is logical, and less emotional THEY become confused. At first they are relieved, but when she doesn't react to manipulation and antics as other women in the past, they suddenly become frustrated and her cool demeanor becomes a problem. LOL

    Was there a need to write "Take note…" after each point??! LOL

    This is cool becuase at the end of the day we all can learn from each other to be honest

    i can agree with these EXCEPT #7. the writer went from men complimenting women to women not complimenting women. i’m a 20 year old young woman and personally i get compliments all the time. but i also give genuine compliments to other women ALL the time. if your hair is cute, i’ma let you know. if your outfit looks great on you, i’ma let you know. but maybe in general we don’t compliment each other enough. but men don’t hand out compliments to other guys every day. for the most part, they might say something positive about some jordans that they see a guy wearing, but that’s about it. if you ask me guys can learn from women on giving compliments.

      Kudos to you, Madison! I give compliments to women all of the time. If you are confident in yourself why shouldn't you? Women who can't genuinely compliment other women are just insecure.

      men saying "something positive about some jordans that they see a guy wearing" is a compliment to them. i remember reading in a book that men just don't talk much about their stuff like that as we women do. for instance, when we women get a new hairdo, we're all over each other about how nice it is, where did you get it, how much did it cost, etc. now this is a typical conversation between two men where one got a new haircut. "new cut man." "yeah." and that's it. that, believe it or not, was a compliment.
