Are You Listening?!?
March 9th 2007 13:27
Men, listen up! Ahem--men, listen up! MEN, LISTEN UP, DAMMIT! Oh yeah, you don't do that. I forgot.
Ok guys, this may be a bit difficult, but I want you to pay attention to this post. I want you to focus, and actually HEAR the message of this post. Because if you can do it here, then you will be closer to being able to do it with a live, in person, human being. That, by the way, is called COMMUNICATION.
Basically, communication is a good thing. Girls like it. It makes them feel closer to you. Listening is a big part of communication, and can turn into this thing called EMOTIONAL INTIMACY. Chicks like it when you say those words, and they really like it when you actually become emotionally intimate.
When you listen to what girls say, you start to know who they are, what they want, where they want to go, and WHAT THEY MAY WANT TO DO FOR YOU. I'll bet you heard that last sentence, huh? That's because it became about you.
A barrier to communication is that people nod their heads alot, as if they are listening. They're really not, and it's usually pretty obvious. Men often do this. It takes practice listening to stuff that's not about you. But it is a good thing. It's called what? COMMUNICATION.
It's important for you guys to be aware of how you have not listened in the past, and aware of how it has had a negative impact on your relationship. I know, this is sounding pretty foo foo. But, if you become a better listener, you partner may want to give you good stuff. Remember, this is good.
For the good of the male collective here in the blog, please share how your lack of listening skills have led to, er...unfortunate consequences. And ladies, feel free to add on to this lecture.
