Men often keep quiet in relationships with women because of they "type" of women they have beside them.

What happens when it's the girl who doesn't talk much and has a hard time letting out emotions or letting others know of her feelings?

Is it not amazing how women think that getting to "know" a man, their man, means digging into personal thoughts? What do they want to know and why is it so important? Men do not think the same as women and it is not all about understanding, or lack of understanding. It should be more about complementing each other. The more a woman digs, or attempts to dig, into a man's psyche, she many not like what she discovers. Is it really that important? Do you know how your car works? Probably not. So drive it and enjoy. And treat your man the same way.

I'm a man and I like a lot of good communication, I do believe that good communication is key in a successful long-term relationship. However! The thing that irritates men so much is that women tend to 'over-communicate', asking too many questions, and just going on and on and on about nothing. It's tiring and annoying, and they seem to have no respect for our feelings about that. They just continue to go on and on and on about anything and everything, and we are tired, and just want some time to relax after work. In general, men do not care to hear about all of the 'extra' irrelevant information they have to talk about. That's just the truth.

I have chatted with literally thousands of men online.Married men often complain of little or no sex with their wife.They have resorted to the computer to have cyber sex,a real fling,longterm fling or wanting to find a girlfriend and leave .Most men express themselves through sex as opposed to desiring to discuss every detail of their day or their feelings.But what men do not understand is if things are not alright out of the bedroom how can men expect not to get the cold shoulder in the bedroom.The wife becomes as annoyed and turned off as when you visit a friend or relatives home that has that annoying dog trying to relentlessly hump your leg and no matter how hard you try kicking it off it just will not leave you alone.I tell these men instead of putting the energy looking for another woman that "understands" try putting it towards your marriage.Living with a breathing corpse isn't fun either guys.Don't be superficial like Bill Engavall says "Men have 3 thoughts,food,sex,beer".

David touched on this, a couple of other men have mentioned it, here's my angle on it: Men think and communicate differently. Most of us need to "decompress" after work before we're "up" for intense talking. For you it's probably relaxing to relive the day, for him it's probably "re-stressing". Give him some breathing space first. Help with the mood. Women need to know they're loved and desired before they can open up physically, men need to know they're loved and desired before they can open up emotionally. Being interrogated, especially in a demanding way, pushes him away. Having warmth expressed by his lady love draws him closer. We're not that complicated. What works better with a tomcat - Speaking softly and pleasantly, or snarling, "Get your ass over here and let me pet you!"?? Same here. Usually. The last paragraph in brief: Keep it INVITATIONAL, not CONFRONTATIONAL. Assure him you will never, ever use what he shares with you against him or repeat it to others. (He's had that happen.) And never, ever, EVER make that a lie. Once burned, twice shy. Love and respect work wonders. Anger and disrespect destroy. We are in life and relationships to learn how to love each other, not to bully, degrade or manipulate each other. So remember your vows to love and cherish your partner with every word you say and everything you do toward them, because today's words and acts affect their feelings concerning you, probably forever. And that applies to everyone.

My observation of the article is that most of it makes sense and has been said before...men are from mars, women from venus, etc..... But I resented the "when men get home from a long day at work...the first thing they want to do is take care of themselves a little bit"...(paraphrased). OK

this sounds like guys are jerks, like women hold all the Aces, give me a break, women are too good, plain and simple, listen to this drivel about 'connecting on all cylinders" women don.t do 0000 in this society except sit on their rearends long enough for three cups of coffee,and then they are into everybody's business because they have to catch up for all the time they wasted sitting around drinking three cups of coffee. Give me a break, Guys who don.t open up can.t talk anyway, it is the women who lack the communication skills, average woman,will tell her man to shut up, oh and who wants to live in a flea bag relationship where changing the oil or relinquising the remote is a sign of love, give me a break, these relationships are for the marginally brain dead. neither one of the parties is communicating, Frankly a woman does not know how to communicate "out of the box" if a woman knew how to communicate the world would be a much different place,without the muddled nonsense that one needs to go thru to communicate with the fair sex, fair sex, there is a laugh

could women communicate less, and enjoy it more? Honestly where are there any skills needed to communicate with women, the average women doesn.t really have anything voluble to communicate about, after watching the latest movie star, who wants to communicate about movie stars, sort of pas se" Women just do not have the ability to communicate. it is pas se" to give up the remote to show affection, what a joke society is,

You are alwys talking about men not doing this and not doing that.Well why don't you talk about lots of the men that come on very strong from the very begining and just jumping into relationships fast before wating any time for the dating part of the process.I have come into this situation many times over.stop talking about what men don't want and what they do want and do some more research on all the ones that want to fall in head first.There are a lot of those men out there.There are no true rules for dating and relationships because everyone is different in their ways of thinking.People just have to be theirselves and not put on a pretty picture while dating and chatting.You have to take in the good news and the bad news and then decide for yourself if this person is worth your time to get to know.Everyone has lifes little problems and no one is perfect.If you dwell on the past and not look at the present and future then you will never find anyone in your life to have relationships with.Come on,be real!!!!!!!!!!1

Great, just great. I'm in my 60's and could have used this information 40 yrs. ago. Would have saved me alot of time, trouble and wasted expectations. But, let's be honest here. What this all boils down to can be summed up with two conclusions. (1) Men want a Mommy who they can have sex with, and (2) Not having to actually communicate with their partner is a great cover for lots and lots of passive-aggressive rebellion.
