There's lots of men of a certain generation who are just not as emotive as women are. I think that men have to learn how to become more emotive. But what's more important is that they become very good listeners. And, you know, I think we all have to... We all have to figure out what we can and cannot tolerate in a relationship. But it's called a heart-to-heart for a reason.

When two people have a heart-to-heart, they're opening up their inner worlds to each other. And typically what is associated with a heart-to-heart is after that heart-to-heart, there's closeness. There's more love. So it's important.

Yeah, and a lot of men, actually.

Um, women want safety. This is very important. Men do not understand the role that safety plays in a woman's life. Um, we, you know, walking down, we could be in the best neighborhood in the world. We could be in a safe town. We could be in a city. If we're walking down the street and it's empty. Our antenna is up. It doesn't even matter if it's broad daylight.

That's something that most men can't even begin to wrap their heads around. I'm going to go to an empty parking lot by myself? No way. I don't care if it's 12 o'clock in the afternoon. If I don't see anyone around and the parking lot is empty, am I walking to my car alone? I might be running. And so this is the reality of women. And biologically, you know, women, it's like we have the babies.

And biologically, you know, women, it's like we have the babies.

We want to make sure that the babies are protected. We want to make sure that we're in a relationship with someone who will protect us. this is partially biological. So how does that translate into the modern world? Well, women want a partner who is, and we're talking about male partners, right? So we want your presence. So this is going to sound very simple and maybe you've heard it before, but

You fixing the problem is not what you think it is. Because a lot of men, there's a problem, they want to fix it. Or, you know, we're having, maybe we're having, we're overwhelmed. And what most men do is they come to, they want to come to the rescue and say, I know how to make it so that you're less overwhelmed. You just have to do one, two, and three, you'll be less overwhelmed.

And the funny thing is, he's right. A lot of the time he's right. But we know that already. What we need in that moment is someone just to listen or to give us a hug and to... have presence with us. And then we can maybe calm down and enter our more rational minds because women are perfectly capable of rationality. But at first, we might be feeling like that intensity of emotion.
