Hey, men-bit of advice….

[CurlewKate]

…women don’t want you to read their minds. They just want you to pay attention.

I'm sure that a lot of the time that is indeed the case.

Sometimes some women expect the man in their life to react the way that she would to a every given situation. When he doesn't she labels him as unthoughtful or not paying attention when really it's just that they're not identical people and so he may simply be approaching things differently. She's then left thinking that HE SHOULD JUST KNOW and he's left thinking that if it was that big of a deal that she expected me to do it that way, she should have told me with words.

And they almost never want you to offer a solution. They know best about their own situation. Just listen intelligently. Enter into whatever it is. You don’t have t9 fix it.

Kit makes me think of PE kit

Same. Wayne and Coleen Rooney’s son is called Kit, when he was born Wayne posted something like ‘my new Kit’ on Instagram so I always just associate that name with football or sports kits. It’s very popular on here for some reason. I don’t think it matches OPs other choices at all.

Wrong thread?

I agree with the advice….. but I do think women are trained not to ask directly for what they want, and also value things more if they are freely given. This can result in women trying to pass on desires implicitly, or even cover them up a bit with modest disclaimers, and then be disappointed the man didn’t pick up the implicit message, amid the obfuscation.

so I’d broaden the advice. Women: ask directly for what you want. And men: listen and give a damn.

@financialcareerstuffhmm. Yes, I agree up to a point. But the things that cause angst on here like birthdays, and shopping and household stuff are thins that you shouldn’t have to ask for. All that needs is someone to pay attention.
