Men tend to try to struggle to be more rational and reduce things to simplicity more and are more impatient with ambiguity than women are.

Why don't men like to stop and ask directions? This question, which I first addressed in my 1990 book 'You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation', garnered perhaps the most attention of any issue or insight in that book.

It is essential that men start being interested in and excited by how women think.

All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.

Men aren't the way they are because they want to drive women crazy; they've been trained to be that way for thousands of years. And that training makes it very difficult for men to be intimate.

Women pay attention to how men drive because it's a good indicator of what kind of character you have. They want someone who's going to be intelligent and cautious and assertive and confident when you need to be, but not overly aggressive and reckless, and also not timid and overly paranoid.

Guys know how to read each other's signals. They know how to telegraph love for one another without throwing their arms around one another.

Some men are afraid of women who challenge them and demand respect and answers. That's who I am and will always be.

Women have to be active listeners and interrupters - but when you interrupt, you have to know what you are talking about.

A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well.
