Things Every Woman Should Know about Men: A Guide to Dating Success and Building Strong Relationships

By Phoenix Henry

What is he thinking? Why is he acting like a mad man? I simply don’t understand what’s crossing his mind!!! Every single woman has been in the position of having no clue what the man next to her is thinking and why he’s acting the way that he is.

Often times, I’ve had the desire to get inside the head of a guy I was dating or entering a relationship with. Things that seemed crystal clear and perfectly obvious to me were interpreted in a completely different way by him.

As women, we usually tend to over-analyze. We find hidden messages in places where no such exist. We try to anticipate his next move in order to save ourselves from heartache and trouble. The thing is, every single person happens to be unique and unpredictable. Scientists have also proven that female and male brains work differently. Adding these challenges to the equation can lead to serious miscommunication between men and women.

This book is not going to give you all of the answers about men, their thoughts and emotions. It will, however, help you become a better communicator. Gone are the days of dating formulas and specific gender roles. Today, as women, we are free to pursue romantic interests in any way deemed appropriate. We can take the lead. We can be a bit aggressive. The good thing is that many men like the freedom that comes with the change in the traditional gender expectations.

Hopefully, the coming pages will make you feel a bit more enlightened and daring. Hopefully, they’ll give you the tools to communicate freely and openly with men. We’ll work together to solve a number of big mysteries and answer some questions ladies tend to have about guys. We’ll embark on a journey into the depth of the male soul. I hope that you’ll enjoy the anecdotes, the humor and the emotions I’ve weaved into every page. Don’t hesitate to contact me, leave some feedback or ask additional questions about the book. I’ll be more than glad to continue the exploration on the basis of your interests and questions.

Introduction

What is he thinking? Why is he acting like a mad man? I simply don’t understand what’s crossing his mind!!! Every single woman has been in the position of having no clue what the man next to her is thinking and why he’s acting the way that he is.

Often times, I’ve had the desire to get inside the head of a guy I was dating or entering a relationship with. Things that seemed crystal clear and perfectly obvious to me were interpreted in a completely different way by him.

As women, we usually tend to over-analyze. We find hidden messages in places where no such exist. We try to anticipate his next move in order to save ourselves from heartache and trouble. The thing is, every single person happens to be unique and unpredictable. Scientists have also proven that female and male brains work differently. Adding these challenges to the equation can lead to serious miscommunication between men and women.

I’m not a mind reader and I’ve never gotten inside the head of a guy. Over the years, however, I’ve managed to reach some conclusions. These are based on personal observations, years of dating and communication with men (both friends and romantic partners). Men are fascinating and they often want the same things that we do. Unfortunately, their communication style can make it difficult to be on the same page. Relationships fail due to poor communication. Romantic interest gets lost. The passion dies and people move on without looking back.

This book is not going to give you all of the answers about men, their thoughts and emotions. It will, however, help you become a better communicator.

We can be a bit aggressive. The good thing is that many men like the freedom that comes with the change in the traditional gender expectations.

Chapter 1: What do Men Want from Women?

While I haven’t dated that many men, I’ve found myself perplexed a number of times. The initial stages of communication are the most exciting and the most difficult ones. We’re trying to make ourselves look good. We’re not being 100 percent authentic because we want to create that stellar first impression. This is why I’ve often yearned to know what he wants. If I only knew what he desires, I could present myself in that specific way.
