Between Men and Women
I read the book 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'. The book is about the differences between men and women. We all know that men and women are ordinarily different. In the book, there are many points explaining how men and women are different. Among them, I'm going to pick one point and also find out something in common that is related in the point.
In 12th chapter, the title of it is 'How to ask for support and get it'. In this chapter, we could know how men and women differently think about asking for support and what they differently do to get it. Women don't feel any need to ask for support because they intuitively feel the needs of others and give whatever they can. Thus, women mistakenly expect men to do the same, but they don't. On the other hand, for men, whenever they have something to be helped, they just ask for support to women. And also men wait to be asked. They could not know what she wants until she tells that directly. But at this time, women should not demand for help. Men like to do things which are appreciated, but they hate to do things which are demanded.
But when they ask for support to each other, they are not asking something big and difficult. The only reason why they ask something for support is that both men and women really want to be taken care of by their partners. As an easy example, when something bad happens to them, women are just twisting their faces with worries and men are complaining that why these things happen to him. They might want to get some practical advice from their partners or to make them solve these problems, but what they really want is to be with their partners and hear words of comfort from them. Although the way to ask for support is different, what they want to be supported is same.
There are many situations where men and women can come into conflict with each other. These conflicts could be solved by just acknowledging the differences between them. The ways to be in harmony with men and women are not such great things. What we all have to do is just to understand and accept the differences. And furthermore, we should know that men and women really love each other.
