Due to misunderstandings between the sexes a lot of times women can do things that are damaging to their relationships with men. Here are some of the more common ones, and why they irritate men. rnBeing too pushyrnBeing too pushy in demanding he open up too early is another no-no. Men and women deal with things differently, and expecting him to open up on the spot can be too much. They need time to deal with things. Not only that but she needs to give him time to open up with her, trust takes time. This action may only be pushing him away. rnExpecting Men to be Psychic rnMen aren’t psychic, but sometimes women imagine them to be. The age old game of expecting men to be aware of how they feel or know what they mean is going to run any relationship into more difficulty than good. Guys like to communicate precisely, where words mean exactly what is said From time to time women expect their guy to know exactly what's on their thoughts, or that one thing meant something else. The difference between men and women when it comes to communicating is that women can use empathy as they've practiced it all through their life. Men have practiced direct communication all through their lives, where words meant exactly that. Men don't have that understanding of the empathic language women use. It best to stick with his language and speak plainly, which can also help him open up to you. rnCriminate their partnerrnSomething very common is that women regularly measure up themselves to other women, they can then shift the fault onto the man they're with as if it was his idea. Despite of whether he has actually even noticed how skinny, beautiful, or big her breasts are, out of insecurity women will contrast themselves to other women. The trick question is then asked, “Do you believe she’s more _______ than me?” They then somehow push this made up subject onto him as if it originated from his mind.rnOn the same topic of insecurity many women can over analyze little things out of insecurity. Maybe her boyfriend briefly looked at another woman, and where it meant nothing at all, she'll totally misconstrue the entire incident. This kind of accusing attitude is not how to love a man. rnAlways laternTypically women can take a long time to get prepared. More care should have been put in to the time needed in advance so that they aren't late. Where guys like to be in control, he becomes frustrated now because his time table has become messed up, and now has lost that form of control. Not to forget that no one likes waiting for a long period of time, as guys typically take less time to get ready and be out the house. "What are you thinking?"rnWomen will every now and then ask the question, “Watcha thinking” to their man, even when he’s not thinking of anything. Guys have a talent to just sit there and be able to not process anything. They can shut off their brain and just “tune out”. Try not to over analyze things and presume he's thinking of something deep, or that he's closing you out when he does not justify what he was thinking about. He was just zoning out. rnOvercrowding rnWomen have an invasive way of overcrowding the man they’re with. In ways of; leaving pretty stuff and trinkets around their home, using his things without asking him, or wearing his clothes they can do this. In the difference between the sexes, one of the main issues is that men need breathing space. Not only can overcrowding be done from too much talking or time spent together, but sensitivity is required when it comes to personal room and belongings. rnBeing-Witchy towards other womenrnWe've all seen it, where women can be malicious towards other women as if they're competing against them for some reason? Where they quietly backtalk each other, or say passively nasty observations about each other. This type of behavior really just displays her nasty side, and comes off as two-faced in his eyes. It does not put her out to be the loving and gentle lady he most likely fell in love with. rnNeeds to know everything about his pastrnSometimes women want to know everything about their man’s past, particularly about the woman before them. After telling her, she’ll always compare herself to those other exes, like it’s a competition of some sort even though he’s broken up long ago. rnBeing Too InsecurernBeing too insecure can come off as unattractive and plain annoying. Instead she should act strong and certain in who she is. This will be seen as very attractive and will make her more fun to be around. rnKeeping him from his friendsrnYes during a relationship it's reasonable to want more time and intimacy from a specific person. But if she is hoarding all his time and energy, it can put a wedge among his friends and her. A balance in all the interactions would be better here. After all, there are certain problems he's not going to go to her and talk about. His friends will be practical then. rnThose are the classic mistakes that women do that can frustrate the man they’re with. By being alert and avoiding them, these common mistakes women make will not get in the way of your relationships.
