Men Are From Mars And Women Are From Venus. So, we’ve already established the fact that men and women ARE different. So, how do we get on with each other?

Here are time-tested hints that are sure to abate fears that haunt most men.

• Why do men fear commitment? Because they think you are out to ‘change’ them. What’s more it’s true!! So, for beginners, reassure your guy that YOU are not out to change him. Do NOT expect your man to be tailor-made to suit your ideas of a dream man, there is nothing like a Mr. Perfect in a world of variables.

• Men don’t open up easily; they are thrifty with words as also with any overt display of emotions. So when they do, they want you to really listen and they DON’T want to be interrupted. What your man requires is not opinion but reassurance that there is someone who can hear him out.

• Men have egos! Except this fact, and handle with care! Compliment him, but at the same time do not hesitate to state your disapproval, but be gentle but firm while doing it!
