Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus: Mr. Fix-it and the Home Improvement Committee

The most frequently expressed complaint by women have about men is that men don't listen. Either a man come completely ignores her when she speaks to him, or he listens for a few beats, assess what is bothering her, and then proudly puts on his Mr. Fix-It cap and offers solution to make her feel better.

He is confused when she doesn't appreciate his gesture of love. No matter how many times she tells hum that he's not listening, he doesn't get it and keeps doing the same thing. She wants empathy, but he thinks she wants solutions.

The most frequently complained by men about women is that women are always trying to change them. When a woman loves a man she feels responsible to assist him in growing and tries to help him improve the way he does things.

She forms a home-improvement committee and he becomes her primary focus. No matter how much he resist her help, she persist - waiting for any opportunity to help him or tell him what to do. She thinks she nurturing him, shile he feels he's being controlled. Instead, he wants her acceptance.
