Men are dogs and women are cats.

The man-woman relationship

In the light of the experiences of the past year and a half I had occassion to think about the topic and perhaps was functionally oriented towards the topic as such.

I have heard that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. I have also heard that Hitler was afraid of cats but not dogs.

First time I heard that men are like dogs and women are like cats. It means according to the psychoanalyst on TV that men are simple and women are complex and hence the analogy.

Men are by and large promiscous, but he can be committed. According to him this is possible by food and appealing to his narcissism.

It is said that men talk facts and figures. For men talking is a process or media for reeling off but for a woman talking is a way of relating. This seems to be at the base of many man - woman relationship troubles. Communicating is essential for both but they do communicate different things. For the woman, the process is its own thing.

Nevertheless how can the man be mostly right when coming to the relationship with his one. First by showing that you are thinking of her, that she is uppermost in his mind and therefore some indication that he is doing so by say a phone call or a surprise etc. Second a woman needs a commitment so no roaming eyes looking for pretty ones. Third, by listening. Listen even if she is bullying your own parents. After all she is just talking. Fourth by a kind of psychosocial support. If she is getting attention from elsewhere make her know that no one can come between us.

Together when it comes to sex, keep body healthy and clean, and create novelty by creating mystery. The French seems to be better at that, it seems, according to the TV show. More on Man woman relation later.
