In the process of men and women interacting, they often encounter all kinds of issues. Sometimes misunderstandings are bound to happen. Let's take a look at eight common misconceptions men have about women:
1. Women hold on to the past more than men.
Women are creatures of nostalgia. As an ancient saying goes: men cherish their ex-wives, while women cherish their ex-husbands. In modern context, the first wife represents the first heart-piercing pain, the first soul-stirring experience, and the first calm act of giving oneself to a man—enough to make a woman remember it for a lifetime. When other men appear in her later life, they are merely shadows of her first love. In this woman’s heart, true love has already died. Love or hate, it's always like "once having seen the vast ocean, lesser waters cannot satisfy; except for clouds over Wu Mountain, no others can compare." After being hurt, a woman may feel that "how many loves can come again!" The beautiful Peach Blossom Island, the first person to step onto it is the natural owner, and subsequent ones are merely guests, forever unable to land as the master.
2. Women are more practical than men.
When choosing to marry a man, a woman is usually very clear-headed. She will make her decision based on very practical and rational considerations. Men's thoughts are complex while their minds are simple, whereas women's thoughts are simple but their minds are pure. A man's naivety lies in not knowing after marriage whether the woman truly loves him, assuming that marriage is a commitment to love. However, he doesn’t realize that the woman might have other plans, such as property and money. Material aspects like real estate certificates are what women, who seemingly disdain them, actually care about the most. In a certain sense, a real estate certificate is like an entry ticket into marriage. A woman without independent home-buying ability might, at a certain age, choose to marry a man simply because he owns a spacious house.
3. Women are harder to impress than men.
Among men, handsome guys are scarce resources. The ones most qualified and eligible to approach handsome men are beautiful women. Almost all beautiful women like handsome men, so striving to win them becomes normal. Handsome men can effortlessly play around, even with original intentions! It is often said that when men aren't bad, women don't resent them. Big troublemakers will straightforwardly push beautiful women against the wall, smile wickedly, squint their eyes, and say: "Let's eat!" At this moment, the beautiful women will mostly go with them. There are virtuous women in the world, but bad men fear persistent women. Boxer Mike Tyson was sentenced for rape, yet his young girlfriends lined up to visit him in prison, loyally waiting for him to come out. That's the charm of ruffians.
4. Women appreciate flattery more than men.
Women are peculiar in that they prefer obvious lies and still want to hear them. Even if they know it's a trap, they insist on jumping into it. Many women never grow up. For major events, men should cater to them; for minor things, let them be the boss, and only then will women respect you. If you do everything for her, she might just turn her head away. But if you seem fickle, she will start to waver towards you. The less you care about her, the more she loves you.
5. Women value appearance more than men.
Women are naturally filled with unrealistic fantasies, and their innate dependence makes them disadvantaged in society from the start. However, they don't suffer silently. They care about appearances, talk about enjoyment, deceive themselves, and starting from their twenties, they frantically apply expensive or cheap cosmetics, thickly covering their faces, causing frostbite-like disasters in some areas. Sometimes, innocence is truly seeing ghosts.
6. Women enjoy sweet talk more than men.
Women fall in love through their ears. You must shower her with sweet words; making her happy is the soft strategy. Although small favors won't last long, let her feel that you are the worst to her in this world. By then, no matter what kind of person you are, her heart will already be yours. There is another type of man who appears very serious, doesn't look lustfully, but he might be a cold-blooded player. He leaves no room when pursuing women. What seems like unintentional encounters, a caring phone call during lunchtime, a uniquely designed birthday party, a romantic candlelit dinner on Valentine's Day—all perfectly timed. With this, nine out of ten beauties won't escape.
7. Women have more aspirations than men.
Generally speaking, women don't dislike men who don't smoke or drink, work steadily from 9 to 5, and follow rules. Such a man might become her husband, but not her lover, because she feels you lack drive, at least ambition. On the contrary, if you gamble and stay out all night, even coming home smelling of alcohol, she might care deeply about you, fearing your misbehavior and constantly checking her own actions. A woman might not necessarily marry a man she hates, but she will volunteer herself for him in critical moments. We all want to know how people win a woman's heart. This is a significant topic that all men should strive to research throughout their lives.
8. Women value money more than men.
Women are easily attracted by comfort and affluent living. Out of instinct, women have a special fondness for jewelry and diamond-like items, dreaming of which rich man will gift her a 25-carat diamond. Nowadays, wealthy men are as rare as monkeys, but those who can decisively spend money to support women generally meet two conditions: one, they are younger; two, they possess beauty—not ordinary beauty, meaning even if not young, they must have charming qualities. In this scenario, opportunity might be crucial.
