[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women are, traditionally and culturally, raised to be "pleasers". They are socialized that they are responsible for relationship building/maintenance, so they work hard at it. Men are raised with fewer of those expectations (culturally they get other burdens to carry about breadwinning, stoicism, etc...). So they don't step in to quite the same roles as naturally. All people can make personal changes in any of these dynamics once aware of them.[/quote] I agree. It gets worse if there's ADHD/autism or anything else that impact social skills. These men need to have other people's feelings spelled out to them in words of one syllable. I have such men in my family, and it forces everyone around them to work that much harder in the relationship, because they cannot improve beyond their limits. [/quote]
