Get Your Guy to Listen to You! by DDHG Editorial Team
You'd think it was impossible to get your guy to listen to what you're saying. A lot of women are caught between a rock and a hard place. They've got a great guy, but he tunes her out instead of listening and acknowledging what she is saying. It isn't a lost cause ladies! You can get your guy to perk up and pay attention! Try this!
1. Speak his language. Remember these three things - men don't like confrontation, they don't like being wrong, so if your man makes a mistake unrelated to infidelity, let it go. And men loving being the leader of the pack. So even though we know who really runs things in your family, always make it seem like he does. He'll know that you really understand him.
2. Keep it simple. Men are the complicated creatures women are. Instead, they're pretty simple. It's either black or white. For instance, you and your man could be watching TV and a story about a model's birthday party comes on. Instead of changing the channel, he is glued to it. You even see drool coming out of his mouth. You feel like you've been slighted and that he wants the model. In his mind, it's a harmless story on TV. He's shocked you could even feel that way. Make sure you give your guy clear, simple signals that he can easily interpret. And if he's doing something that is offending you, say something. He probably won't read your mind or figure it out on his own.
3. Touch him. When you make an important point to your man and you really want him to pay attention, touch him. It will make him take notice and remember what you've said. Grasp his hand, touch his hair or stroke his knee. He'll love it and you'll definitely have his undivided attention.
