Men, what is one thing you wish Woman knew?

[Butterfly]

This thread is for the men, those who identify as males or owners of male parts ...

What is something that you wish woman knew about you, your experiences, your parts, what it is like living in a male body, what it is like going through life as a man .... tell us!

I am obviously not a man, but a man recently told me that men like compliments too. And it something that has stuck with me.

Clear unambiguous communication is soooooo important. Not only are men generally worse at picking up subtle hints (In either direction, mind you. A subtle hint that you want them to go away is equally hard to read than a subtle hint you're into them). But we also learn completely different emotional boundaries. The intimacy women have in some regular friendships is a lot deeper than in male friendships, and men can easily associate that level of intimacy with a romantic relationship. Furthermore, men often don't even learn how to voice those things, so they may need a lot of help and careful guidance when discussing them.

There are two kinds of stories that you can find all over the internet.

1: "I told him no and he left me alone, but i wanted him to keep trying!"
2: "I told him no and he just keeps trying, i want him to leave me alone!"

So say what you mean, and say it clearly, or people suffer.
