What’s your best piece of advice on understanding the opposite gender?

I agree.

However, men are inherently more prone to aggression more prone to violence, less caring etc. It's biology. We have evolved some but not so much that we can pretend that there aren't any difference in these traits between men and women.

Love, compassion and empathy do not necessarily mean the same things to men as they do to women.

Men are simple beings. Don't treat them the way you treat your female friends. They thrive under certain conditions, but don't expect those conditions to be the same as they are for you. Keep things simple, defined, provide binary choices, etc. They do better. They also like to feel important. Let them think they are in charge sometimes. It's like dealing with your toddler. Easy when you do it right and very frustrating if you think that person is going to be able to keep up like your sister or BFF.

In dating, men like the chase. Men are inherently hunters.

Not all of us - some like to be chased.

True if you are a millenial or younger bc you act and feel like a woman.

I know she's always struggling with her weight and messing around with diets and calorie restrictions, but I've underestimated how painful the underlying reasons for those things have been for her.



This is really insightful of you. I wish more men understood this.

Not me, but my dh took it upon himself to learn about perimenopause (I’m early 40s, he’s mid) and he said it gave him an entirely new perspective. I’m really thankful he took that step so that he can start to understand.
