Contrary to popular belief, women are not hard to understand. We just ask for a little respect. It’s as simple as that, but men make it seem like the art of understanding women is as complicated as rocket science. It really isn’t; all men really have to do to make us happy is to pay more attention to us.
     For instance, when we are talking to them and would like some input, we often receive blank stares or some short and often unintelligible answer. This gives us the impression that hez simply were not paying attention to us and what we have to say. It also makes us feel that what matters to us, does not matter to them.
     Think of it in terms of when the professor calls on someone who has been dozing off in class. The student was called on to make sure that they were paying attention to the lecture. It’s the similar check system that women often use.
     When talking to a woman, a man should maintain good eye contact. When men maintains proper eye contact, it lets us know that their attention is focused solely on us and not elsewhere. When their eyes are wandering during a conversation, it signals to us that they might be bored talking to us or that we’re simply not interesting enough to listen to. What does a girl have to do to get a little attention around here? Women spend a mass amount of money on makeup and clothes trying to look cute for men, so the least a man could do is look at us while we’re talking to them.
     However, sometimes it is not good enough to just make eye contact while talking to each other. It is easy enough to make eye contact with someone and look like you’re paying attention, but is the information we are trying to convey registering in their minds? What would be nice is when a man remembers little things that we tell them. It does not necessarily have to be every single detail of a conversation, but little things such as our birthdays or what kind of music we like to listen to.
     Women aren’t asking for too much, but it’s just the little things that a man can do that make the biggest difference. It could be something as simple as a guy picking up a pencil that we’ve just dropped or opening the door for us. Maybe even telling us that we look nice sometimes. Anything to let us women know that men are paying attention to us and care about us is always a good thing.
