You Are Handsome With Your Mouth Closed !!!

In his 2010年10月1日 blog article "你"...... , Fresh Designer talks abt communication issues btwn the two sexes. It all comes down to the cliche question: What do women want?" The following are my comments on the communication part:

Haricot 微豆 提到...

Not an insignificant number of men in our society are brought up to believe, among other things, that:
* they are the "stronger" sex and therefore are protectors of the family - their opinions count* unlike women, men don't cry (at least not in public) and should hide their feelings (known as "caving")
* they are the problem solvers, the action-oriented Mr. Fix it, and not the let's-talk-about-it type.

On the other hand, a woman often just wants to talk. She is not necessarily asking Mr. Fix-it for opinions and advice. She might just want him to listen (and shut up at the same time).

I am generalizing things a bit here, but you get the gist.
