“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”<\/p>\n

Oscar Wilde<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is it a clich\u00e9 that men do not understand women? Men usually find themselves perplexed in understanding the emotional reactions of women. On the other hand, women have,\u00a0Since the early days, accused men of being unemotional and detached.<\/p>\n

Women are more emotional than men innately. They have grown up that way. They are the encouragement and advancement of the family and are born with a natural tendency to care. Hormones like estrogen and prolactin make them emotional. Even psychologists find it hard to understand everything a woman needs or translates into actions. Women give much more importance to small gestures and the simple things in life. A woman may go through various mood swings, and her desires and ideas may fluctuate according to that. I can just assume how men cope up with these changes.<\/p>\n

Women have a better memory than men, especially when it comes to matters regarding emotion. They sometimes use these memories as their defense mechanisms as well. A woman remembers everything that you have done or speak to her so far. If you have told her something unpleasant or act that hurt her feeling that pain resides in her. Consequently, she makes choices and arguments based on those memories, which can be from many years ago. She thinks that you would hurt her like before. But men experience emotions that relate to the moment only. They don’t tend to get connected to the past. Men’s thinking process is linear. Women process themselves multi-dimensionally. These scenarios surely bewilder men to a great extent.<\/p>\n

Research says that the brain has two systems that work simultaneously: MNS and TPJ. Mirror Neuron System or MNS allows us to empathize with others mentally. The Parietal Junction system or TPJ analyzes and fixes its circuits to look for a solution to emotional problems. The parietal junction is highly active in men – it controls their thought processes from being clouded by emotions. It also strengthens their ability to find a practical solution, thus making them seem uncaring of attitude.<\/p>\n

On April 10, 2013, the research, published in the journal PLOS ONE, showed that men had twice as much trouble perceiving the women’s emotions from images of their eyes. Men seem to be worse at reading women’s emotions. The “theory of mind” is one of the foundations of empathy, so the shortfall leads men to have less sense of empathy for women relative to men. It also shows that higher arousal compared to men’s emotion type. Neuroimaging studies have revealed that women utilize more parts of the brain containing mirror neurons than males when they process emotions. In the standard tests of emotion recognition, social sensitivity, and empathy, women generally score higher than men.<\/p>\n

Though it seems that men struggle more in understanding women or reading their faces, that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t try at all. Try to build a strong bond with women with all your ears. Let her vent her feelings before you. Stand by her at all times. During an argument, control yourself from using any unsatisfactory or unacceptable. An emotional wound leaves a deep scar in her. If you put all this effort into empathizing with a woman’s emotions, it will guide you in creating a magical bond. So let women be the way they are, and as they want to be.\u00a0 Be there for her and, she will move mountains to keep you contented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
