What women and men should know about each other

One of my friends, Angela, volunteered to to do “Q and A” session where I got a chance to ask her some questions regarding “dating and relationship” issues that many people have to deal with.  She specifically expands and talks about common issues that men and women face in the dating world.

So here it is:

Nabil: On a scale from 1 to 10(1 being the lowest) how well do you think men are at listening or trying to understand women?

Angela: I would say that many men are average based on my experience. I would give them a 5 or 6. Sometimes it is irritating when they are not listening or showing interest. It clearly tells me that they are not worth my time.

Nabil: How can you tell whether a man is confident or not based on his body language and behavior?

Angela: You can tell by his posture. Speaking of behavior, if a guy is too cocky or arrogant it is a big tun off. He should be original. It is also a big turn off if a guy talks about himself too much.

Nabil: What are some signs you can read when a man is not trying to be himself?

Angela: He tries to draw unnecessary attention to himself. He also starts being obnoxious and loud thinking he is cool by being drunk.  It is also easy to tell when a man is not trying to be himself when he adjusts himself based on what a woman  wants and what makes her happy while not showing who he truly is.

Nabil: Do you like randomly being approached. If you got randomly approached how would you want the man to approach?

Angela: Yes, I do actually. However I don’t like being yelled at or whistled at. Approach me in a more mature way and I will respond better.  For example if I am working at a coffee shop, ask me “what my favorite thing on the menu is or what I should recommend to eat” as a conversation starter rather than throwing a childish pick up line.

Nabil: Can you give me a few reasons why you don’t return phone calls of men that you go on dates with?

Angela: The main reason is that there was no chemistry or connection. Sometimes men will keep calling and calling and they just won’t get that I’m not interested. This will want me not to call them ever again.

Nabil: What are a few things that cause you to lose attraction in a man over a period of time? What advice would you give to men so that they don’t lose you?

Angela:

• men that put a lot of pressure on escalating
• men that talk about their ex- girlfriends
• men that are clingy and needy
• men that are not financially independent. By the way you don’t need to have a lot of money but you have to show that you have some kind of job and are heading somewhere in life.

Nabil: Why do you think some women test men? What are they testing for?

Angela: For many women it takes a while to trust a man since they want to avoid getting hurt. They test men to see whether they are faithful and loyal.  A woman doesn’t want to risk the chances of getting hurt.

Nabil: Do you believe that attraction can occur right away or do you believe that attraction occurs gradually as you get to know each other?

Angela: It is possible for attraction to occur instantly after meeting a man. but obviously attraction also builds up gradually as you get to know the other person and sometimes it can be unexplainable.  It is important that a guy is confident, funny, and well groomed to be attractive.

“Thanks Angela for your time.”
