How does a woman think? How do men think? This is the essence of a man’s calling - to be a breadwinner and provider.

Why do men and women often face mutual misunderstanding? Women think that men lack attentiveness, caring and romance, while men accuse the weaker sex of being touchy and illogical. Mutual claims and ignoring the feelings of another person lead to sad consequences, due to which both men and women become disappointed in love, plunging even more into their inner world.

Probably, every woman at least once in her life would like to read the thoughts of her chosen one in order to understand why he acted this way and not otherwise. Reading other people's thoughts is a technology that has not yet been mastered by man, however, according to psychologists, there is no need for it, because to understand a man, you just need to understand the characteristics of his psyche.

Want to know how men think? Remember a few important secrets of male psychology, thanks to which you will forever get rid of misunderstandings in your relationship.

Men and betrayal

The unpleasant truth is that almost all men have cheated on their girlfriends and wives at least once in their lives. In the understanding of women, cheating indicates dislike and is associated with betrayal. However, men often justify their actions by citing the fact that physical betrayal has nothing to do with feelings. Paradoxical as it may seem, if a man cheats on a woman, this does not mean that he does not love her. If you go into the depths of male psychology, you can understand that the presence of numerous intimate relationships is subconsciously perceived by them as a symbol of success and attractiveness. This behavior is due only to natural psychophysical characteristics, because in order for humanity to continue its history, a man must impregnate as many women as possible. Therefore, the tendency to cheat is a peculiar manifestation of the ancient male instinct.

Men and family

The lion's share of quarrels and conflicts arise due to the fact that men and women have different attitudes towards family and relationships in general. There is an opinion that women, at any cost, strive to drag men into the registry office, and men break into a cold sweat when thinking about family life. Although this is a little exaggerated, in general it clearly illustrates the reality and difference in thinking of the two sexes. Why are men in no hurry to start a family? The answer to this question is provided by nature itself. The deepest mission of women is to give birth to children and care for them. Of course, the modern world has erased canons and conventions, giving the weaker sex the right to choose their own goals and the opportunity to express themselves in any area of ​​life. However, in the vast majority of women, sooner or later, the maternal instinct turns on, which overshadows all previous beliefs and gives birth in her soul to the desire to have a child and take care of him. It is no secret that it is much easier to provide a child with comfortable conditions and material well-being when paired with a man, so a woman subconsciously considers each of her partners as a future father for the child. If a woman's intuition tells her that this man will become a caring father, she will unconsciously strive to marry him.

But men do not have such subconscious aspirations. Nature entrusted them with a slightly different task - they must continue the family line, giving the world their heirs. And although it is believed that “homo sapiens” received freedom from instincts, deep biological missions partly guide our desires and actions. In the thinking of men, marriage is seen as the end of a free life, because a respectable family man should not cheat and have affairs “on the side,” and, therefore, family life marks the end of the biological mission.

Use the secrets of male psychology to your advantage

It may seem that the work of psychologists in the field of studying a person’s subconscious aspirations not only does not smooth out, but aggravates the conflict between men and women, because fighting one’s own instincts is an initially failed task. In fact, you can use the secrets of male thinking to your advantage.

First, accept the fact that a man's initial interest in a woman is due to physical attraction. However, no woman can keep a man in physics alone. To build relationships that will give happiness to both, it is important to be friends, partners and simply loving people for each other.

Secondly, do not take a dominant position in your relationship with a man. Nature has made representatives of the stronger sex hunters, and you must admit that when prey chases a hunter, it looks strange, to say the least.

And thirdly, do not limit your partner’s personal space. If a man next to you feels as if he is in a cage, even the strongest love will not hold him.

Generally speaking, men and women strive for the same things, they just use different paths to get there. We all want to be happy, loving and loved, it is only important to learn to respect and understand each other.

He is thoughtful on a date, mysteriously silent when you are walking together, or looks at you strangely during dinner - at any of these moments a woman has an irresistible desire to find out what is going on in a man’s head. Who among us has not dreamed of acquiring such a useful superpower - the ability to read minds? After all, then we could easily determine what he thinks about us and what feelings he experiences. But in fact, in order to penetrate the secrets of the male mind and heart, you do not need to have supernatural abilities; you just need to be very attentive and observant.

Read by eyes

The eyes reflect everything that happens in our head and reveal true thoughts and feelings, whether we like it or not. Sometimes you can find obvious answers to our questions in them; to do this, you just need to take a closer look at the look - cheerful or sad, attentive or absent-minded, warm or cold. Do a man’s eyes shine with happiness or are they dull with boredom? In them you will read hidden thoughts and determine what emotions he experiences. In addition, the “mirror of the soul” often helps to understand whether a person is lying or telling the truth. If he tries to meet your eyes, then most likely he is thinking about how to win your attention and sympathy. Rare and absent-minded glances, on the contrary, indicate that the man is not very interested. You can also find out how much he likes you by the duration of eye contact: if the companion cannot take his eyes off you, he really likes you, if the glances are short, he is most likely indifferent. His pupils can also give away a person: dilated ones indicate pleasant emotions and interest, constricted ones indicate negative feelings and irritation. But do not forget that this signal cannot be assessed separately from others, because external factors, such as lighting, also affect the pupils.

Body language, gestures and facial expressions reveal much more information than we say out loud. Posture, posture, head turns, hand position - everything reveals our thoughts, intentions and mood. Carefully evaluate how a man sits or moves in your presence, and you can understand his attitude. If he turns his whole body towards you, then he is open to conversation and he enjoys your company. Does he watch his posture, straighten his shoulders, try to look more courageous? This means that his thoughts are clearly occupied with how to appear before you in the best light. Closed postures indicate a reluctance to communicate and get closer; hands hidden in pockets indicate distrust. A man who crosses his legs or hides his palms does not want to be sincere with you. Body language is a science, but once you learn it, you can easily “read” people. With facial expressions everything is a little simpler. For example, a sincere smile indicates a good attitude, while compressed lips, on the contrary, indicate distrust or dissatisfaction. Try to carefully but quietly observe the man’s gestures and face, and his thoughts will no longer be a mystery to you.

Listen carefully to what he says

Many men do not hide their thoughts and talk about everything directly, but women only pay attention to what they want to hear. During a lively conversation, it can be difficult to catch the most significant phrases and important words, but you should try to become a really good listener and not miss the point. Analyze not only what he said, but also what he did not say. There is no need to hope that a man dreams of living together with you if he has never hinted at a serious relationship or family. It is unlikely that a person thinks about you all day long if in conversation he does not ask anything about your affairs, interests and thoughts. Look at how a man reacts to your questions, delve into the meaning of his jokes, pay attention to the topics to which he returns most often, and then you will learn no less about his thoughts than a professional psychic.

Learn from mentalists

Mentalists, being true experts in human thinking and behavior, can pull off incredible tricks and find out what anyone, even a skeptical viewer, is thinking about. Well versed in psychology and physiology, they guess what is going on in other people's heads and are even able to make them think in the right direction. So why not try to adopt a couple of techniques from the masters who have learned to understand human nature so deeply? Study psychology, read books on the topic, or watch programs in which mentalists demonstrate their abilities. For example, in the show “Reality Hacker,” Alexander Hartmann, an experienced mentalist and hypnotist, explains the connection between thoughts and behavior, conducts experiments that prove that reality is subjective and can be changed at will, and also demonstrates the incredible power of hypnosis. The show about Alexander Hartmann, who knows a lot about reading minds, will air on the HISTORY channel on Saturdays at 22:30 from June 25. Watch how professionals work with people's minds and try to read the information yourself. If you manage to unravel the secrets of the masters of psychology, then learning the secrets of an ordinary man will not be difficult at all, and he will become an open book for you.

Probably every woman has at least once asked herself the question: is it even possible to understand men? Indeed, at first glance, they behave incomprehensibly, illogically and not at all like women.

In my life, even before marriage, there were different relationships, and they collapsed. Men left me, and I didn’t understand why this was happening, what I was doing wrong. And creating a new relationship, I thought that it seemed like I was finally happy and understanding the new man in my life. But this happiness quickly ended.

There was also a period in my life when I met men through a dating site, but many of the dates were unsuccessful.

Now I am married and happy with my husband and I can say that now I am at ease. I know how to support men, I know how to inspire them, I know how to believe in them. It's much easier for me to build a relationship with my husband now.

I think any woman would like to learn this too. In fact, it is very easy to interact with men, you just need to know their secrets. ?

Three qualities of the male world

The first quality of the male world is structure. I want to start right away with an example.

Remember how you make dumplings or dumplings. What's going on in your kitchen? Disorder, chaos. The nose and floor are covered in flour, there is dough, flour, rolling pins, saucepans everywhere.

And here's how my man made khinkali. First he made circles for the dough, which then needed to be rolled out, and they were laid out in a clear square. He then chose from these circles, began to roll them out and folded them in such a way that he could then quickly arrange them in two, at a certain distance from each other.

Khinkali are pinched at the top - so even the number of folds was determined. It was a whole amazing system. And for me this became a very clear example of how men work.

There's a place for everything

Imagine a three-story house with two entrances. Each entrance has its own number of windows.

If we draw an analogy with a man’s life, then behind each window he has a certain area of ​​life. That is, behind the highest window on the second floor, for example, there is work. The window next to it is a career. Next is a hobby. Friends are nearby. And the other entrance is the wife, children, parents. Everything has a specific place.

What happens when, for example, a woman calls a man at work and says: “Hello, dear.” As a rule, we call our men when we just want attention or love.

And what happens to a man who, for example, was in the “work” room on the so-called “third floor”. He “goes down” from this floor through the second, through the first floor, leaves the entrance, enters the second entrance, where he has children, a wife, etc., goes up to the second, third floor, enters the room where his wife, and only then can he carry on a conversation with her.

If a woman cleaned up the “mess”

Of course, this process takes time. And that is why it sometimes seems to us that men think slowly, but this is not so. They just really need time for this process of switching from one sphere to another. And when, for example, a male programmer writes program code, he can spend two or three hours or a whole day fiddling around writing this system.

If a woman calls in this way and distracts him, he can talk to her for two or three minutes and, returning to his work, may not continue it, not finish the process that he was doing. He needs to re-compile this program code from scratch. This is the most striking example of a man’s structure and ability to switch.

By the way, this is why, if a woman has put order in the “mess,” a man cannot immediately find anything, because what seemed like a mess to us is a certain structure for him. And there he can very quickly find what he needs.

Therefore, it often happens that a woman puts things in order somewhere for her man, taking care of him, and then the man is dissatisfied or even swears about it. Every man has this internal structure since childhood, and it must be respected.

Give the man some time

Always give your man time for everything. Do not, according to the eternal female habit, immediately say or do something. When you demand something right now, you break this structure. This usually unsettles men, and he becomes angry, upset and grumbling.

Men need time to adjust to your request or proposal, to make any decision, to just think. Keep this in mind and you will see how much easier it will make your relationship.

How much time to give? This is individual, each man, of course, has his own rhythm. You can directly ask a man: “How much time do you need for this?” Observe for yourself how this happens in your family.

expert in relationships between men and women

Women are beautiful creatures, without whom the Universe would not be possible. So why are men generally more successful? Why are there so many of them in politics, business and other areas? Why do even the most attractive and intelligent representatives of the fairer sex often find themselves lonely and cannot find a common language with any admirer? It's simple - they don't know how to think like a man.

To start thinking like men, it is necessary to first find out what they are thinking about and at least remotely understand their logic and psychology. To do this, let’s look at the most common female stereotypes.

Stereotypes

• Men are insensitive - do you think so too? Well, of course, it’s not him, but your girlfriend can even notice from afar that you’re sad in your soul, that something happened. At the same time, until you tell your own husband about it, he won’t even notice. Maybe this one is so, but this does not mean at all that he is insensitive. Remember, men do not respond to facial cues, do not try to read your thoughts, and their intuition is much less developed. He needs to be told directly about what exactly is going on in your head, why you are worried. Then only he will understand everything.
• Men don't listen - do you want to think like a real man? Then understand one thing for yourself - women talk just to chat and they, knowing this, often do not listen to us carefully. The purpose of conversation between men is to solve problems. Do you have any problems? Then after 3 minutes your loved one will stop listening to you.
• Men don't notice anything - yes, men are not as good as we are at noticing small details. It is unlikely that he will ever tell you: “Oh, pale pink lipstick matches your shoes better than pale lilac!” If he noticed your new hairstyle, you already have a reason to rejoice.
• Men are very slow - you think: “I am torn into hundreds of pieces, but I manage to do everything, and he is not able to nail down one shelf for half a day!” If you want to understand how to think like a man, accept that a woman's brain is programmed to multitask. You will not find such ability among men. The only exception was Julius Caesar. You can cook the cake and, at the same time, help your child do his homework. If you approach your loved one while he is shaving and ask any question, then most likely he will either not hear you, concentrating on what he is doing, or he will cut himself.
• Men are too silent - men cannot instantly find new topics for conversation. This may be due to the fact that parents usually talk to girls more and more often.
• Men are unemotional - believe me, this is not true at all. Every representative of the stronger sex wants to appear strong and confident, to feel like the master of the situation. To do this, he puts on a mask of indifference and dispassion. At the same time, such storms can rage in his soul that you cannot even imagine. How to think like a man? If you start hiding all your emotions, you will be very similar to him.

Male thinking

• Women are no less talented than men. Then why are they more likely to succeed than us? Because they are determined to succeed, they constantly think about achieving high social status, power and promotion on the career ladder.
• Each of them hides a small child. He hides under the guise of a stoic. In order not to make a mistake, spoil him at least sometimes and encourage him. Think like him. Don't spend the whole day thinking only about household chores and problems at work. Remember that you need to relax from time to time.
• Approve your man, always thank him for his gifts. Don't take the services he provides you for granted.
• If a man finds himself on a street unfamiliar to him, he will not be too lazy to walk the extra distance to find the right house himself, but a woman in his place will immediately ask passers-by how she can get to the right place.
• A man is afraid of losing his own dignity, so never attack his self-esteem.
• It is you who always comes up with several options with which you can solve the problem. He believes that your several options make his personal decision wrong.
• He does not know how to think in several directions at the same time. He's more straightforward. Do not move abruptly from one topic to another, otherwise he will become completely confused. The stronger sex thinks silently and about one thing.

And the last piece of advice: be a woman, think like a man and you will have no equal!
