What can women learn from men?

Philippines
August 23, 2012 8:25pm CST
Men are known to be creatures with physical strength and pride while women are known to be creatures of beauty and grace. However, these two creatures are different in most ways. Women are to be known as more emotional than men. They can't tone down their emotion. Women can have emotional outbreaks and they are sometimes moody. That's one of the things women can learn from men. Men are able to dial their emotions. Hello mylotters! What can women learn from men?

You're hitting the target, but not quite the bull's-eye. Men HAVE as many emotions as women (if not more), but they dial them back ... not exactly by trying to 'dial them back,' but more by focusing on what they need to "dial-up!" & letting the emotions starve and fall off for want of attention, washing them away (like water off a duck's back).

Yeah. Males know how to control emotions. Even though some of them really show a lot of emotions especially anger, but they are able to control it.

Yes, Thank you for your response. You are right, some women are like men and some men are like women. But there are characteristics men are known for and women are known for. That's what this discussion is all about.

Okay, if there are any men on here I have some questions for you all: 1. When we tell you to do something, why do you ignore us? 2. When we ask where you are, why not just tell us? We won't bite your heads off for telling us the truth. Honestly, we women aren't that hard to figure out, but sometimes, we feel like we if we say anything to you guys it just goes in one ear, and out the other.

Thanks for being honest rogue. 1. Maybe we are just thinking of other things that's why we tend to forget. We ignore them sometimes. I consider myself to be forgetful sometimes. 2. For this question, I am also guilty. hehehehe I feel that we don't need to tell every now and then where we are. When we go out, we tell you at first hand where we will be going. I get irritated when they constantly ask me where I am.

Just for amusement. Though women can do this if they want, I think the most difficult thing that women cannot learn from men is "pissing while standing".lol. All the other things can be learned with respect to emotions, physical and mental. But doing it standing seems to be very awkward for women.

I would just like to point out that I am a woman and I can wee standing up! :P I've used it to end arguments plenty of times. Men arguing that women can't do all the things men can do and using that argument to prove their point. So, if a woman can do that, does that leave anything at all that a man can do which a woman definitely can't? :)

This discussion is about the things women can learn from men. This is not to say that women can't do the things men can do. This is not to highlight the weaknesses of women over men. This discussion has a positive perspective for the things women can learn from men.

hi women may learn many from men,Men are physically and mentally strong,they are emotional too,however their responsibilities make them to be more considering physical and practical things,women can only think, however men can think and do.Once a man is married he feels all responsibility of the women,he feels she is his forever ,and he is the only one who is to takecare of her forever lasting through out the life,its just like a company and an employee,both should work together then only both can livehappy

Women can only think and men can think and do? Not really. I disagree with that. Women can do both. Women are also responsible too. They can handle a lot of responsibility and duties.

I think men and women can learn from each other. Men and women both have advantages and disadvantages. If women can dial their emotions like men, they are not women, it's their nature. I think the world is beautiful because women have have all kinds of emotinons . Or the world will be dull.

Firstly, I can tell you that I've known a lot of men who can be considerably more emotional than women. A lot of men can not deal with emotions at all. This is not good. It means that they pretend things don't bother them because they see it as a sign of weakness to show emotion. Then they have serious emotional outburst, often in the form of anger which, in many cases, leads to violence. I don't think women can learn anything worthwhile from men.

Really? At least they can learn something from men because we are of different behavior and characteristics. There are strengths for men and as well as strengths for women. We can learn from each other.

Although men seem to be much more careless, but they also have many good sides for women to learn. Such as men are usually brave, ambitious, logical and so on. Whereas women are lack of these qualities. I love China

Thanks for responding. I agree with logical and brave. Women are also ambitious.

Women could learn from us how to be more responsible. I really think that men are more responsible that women in general as men are known for being good leaders. I dont say women are not responsible and not good leaders. Its just my observation. I agree that women can learn how to control emotions.
• Philippines
26 Aug 12
Thanks for your opinion. Yeah. I see a lot of male leaders in the world. But women leaders are growing in the world. Women have proven that they can do the things men can do.

Hmmm hmmm....what have I learned from men? Oh yes! To make the loudest burp possible, how to make the best paper airplanes, what is the real name for those "doohickeys" under cars hood, how to roller blade, an appreciation for skate boarding and also some more important things like telling them what I want rather than dropping hints and assuming them to be a mind reader. I'm still learning things. Yep. guys you are pretty awesome.
• Philippines

Hahaha. lol. You are being sarcastic. I hope you learn more things about men. hehehe You can't assume them to be mind readers because they might mean the different thing. Men and women think differently and have different perspective.

woman and man have many difference. man are powerful and could be much more wiser than woman. most of woman always hurry when decide something and very emotional. in other side, man can be so patience when facing us. I appreciate that.
• Philippines

I guess that's one thing women can learn from men, being patient. I see. This could be true since I have observe from most of women I know, they wanted to get what they want immediately. I wouldn't say that men are very patient. But I would say that men have longer patience than most women. Thanks for your opinion.

Hi there jv, I think that women can learn from us is to be more aggressive, i cant think of anything else more, oh also i think men compartmentalize more when it comes to feelings but that is the bad thing about men, according to stats in some medical research facilities men that bottle up there feelings seems to die earlier than others. So women don't worry you are doing great. Oh i think that women can learn from us a lot of things but more on the hard labor part.
• Philippines
26 Aug 12
Yeah. I strongly agree with being aggressive. Women have more fears and they aren't as aggressive because of doubts. Thanks for this information. I don't know that it gives bad effect to the body when feelings are kept to oneself. I shouldn't bottle up my feelings and should show to people what I really feel.

Yes men have more strength physically than women.They try their best to stand strong without showing their emotions. Women can learn how not to panic when they face challenges while driving a car. Women can also learn how to go for simple things rather than complicated things. Much more, learn how to do things fast, like for example getting ready quickly when going out. Eat whatever they feel instead of worrying about their weight and how they look all the time.

Women tend to make things complicated. Usually also women worry about their weight and are very self-conscious of how they look. Can they eliminate being insecure and just be comfortable with what they have.

We people are human beings. So both the genders have both mistakes and good postie happenings in his life. As a good human being it is our duty to find or separate the good and the bad qualities or happenings from a person and if you wish try to take it down in your life. Most of the time I had seen that the men are acting or doing well to the situations. The decisions are constant and none of the other things cannot change them. A person should be constant at his decision, if it is right for him and it should not change from one to one. This is the one of the ideal quality which I had seen in most of the men.
• Philippines
24 Aug 12
Yeah. This is also one of the distinct characteristics of men. They are firm with their decisions. It doesn't mean that women are not constant with their decisions. It's just that men are known for this kind of trait. It's because men act according to the situation and not letting emotions influence the decision.

in the workplace, men are more logical and rational, especially in doing job, make decisions and interact with fellow colleagues. Men are also more sportive and fair because they rarely include their emotions.
• Philippines

Yeah. That is the most distinct characteristic of a man, logical and rational. They don't include their emotions in making a decision.
