Guys and Gals...
Was discussing this topic with my sis over dinner yesterday.. hee.. was quite interesting cos through discussion, we discover some interesting or irrtitating things about how a guy/ gal think when they are in a relationship. For example, gals seems to have a quota of words to say within each day.. and if they din use them up by the day, they will want to finish them by the nite.. and most of the time, since they only want to use up those words, they expect guys(boyfren) to listen. Just listen and PLEASE dun provide any solution to any of their problems which they might pose in their talk.
So! one question I have in mind is: how do gals want guys to respond (beside "Ya", "Orh" which they find it irritating over time too) without providing any form of solution?
I did suggested something like: " So you hope/ expect the guy to respond like : OH REALLY? Are you sure? then How? OH.. hahaha(with hand covering the mouth)" in a exaggarated expression cum higher pitch. hee.. and my sis said I'm an idiot.. hee..
So how I asked?
[on a defensive mode]: Sometimes, guys dun ask much is not because they dun care.. but rather they care too much.. being afraid that asking for details will be like invading the gal's privacy and space. Creating the feeling that he is controlling her life and everything.. and ended up jeopardising the relationship.. (which is the excuse some gals give when they are requesting for a breakup - too controlling and not giving enough personal space.. ) So how?
Of cos there're other issues like guys not talking about their problem till gals keep prompting. (this cos quite a fair bit of irritation). What's naggin to guys and the cause of nagging (which boils down to different expectation). What's an argument vs a quarrel. How solutions provided by gals are meant to be carried out cos they are suppose to be well thoughout? How are they suppose to be delivered to the guy.. etc etc..
Its a very interesting conversation and I had quite a good laugh over all these issues.. esp when I pointed out how a gal will respond when the guy mentioned something and my sis nodded and laugh.. I was right at those reactions! hee..
Funny that I observed all these but can't/dunno how to apply that to my own life..
