    yeah, my willingness to listen is usually directly correlated with my inferred ods of getting laid...not gonna lie here.

    Practice saying "I understand how you feel..." With sincerity.......(Sincerity is not hard if you learn to fake it!)

    don't forget the "trap questions".

    - What are you thinking?
    - Do I look fat?
    - Do you think she's prettier than me?
    - What would you do if I died?

    women like talking about problems it makes them feel closer to the person.. im taking a communications class and we watched a video about the different patterns between men and women and it amazed me.. everything came clear after watching that video.. women and men are very different in the ways they communicate..

    I get this, I do. But at the same time, I do it to my man all the time.

    As the go-to friend who will listen and can think clearly, I see the solution staring me in the face but many times I know they see the answer as well and really just need to vent/rant/b****.


    1. ZIP LIP
    2. LISTEN
    3. Ask follow up-questions, nod head, and make eye contact
    4. repeat as necessary.

    I don't understand this and frankly it annoys me as then I want to help but get a response of "it's fine" or "don't worry".

    Yeah. Duh.
    Clean the blood off my hands and come up with a plan.

    Ha.. Those lines are universally unique to women.

    Smile, say really honey...I love you, with eye contact...golden. Just make sure she thinks you are truly listening, which in my case is I really have to listen. Nothing wrong with asking have you figured out how you want to handle it? What is your solution? Once you have listened to her solution feedback is more accepted....unless she is just venting...let her vent. My sweety just needs a huge when she is done venting.

    As women get older (some are fortunate to learn earlier) we become wise to this. Thus, make it a goal to keep your attention on us OR buy lots of batteries. The latter is easier.

    Chris Rock already solved this issue.

    Just nod your head sympathetically and every so often say "That bish crazy"
