The Secrets Men Keep From Women

Think you know what’s going on in your man’s head? Think again.

Men are simple souls; they eat, sleep, drink beer, and get childishly excited about football and fast cars. That’s what they want you to think, anyway. In fact, beneath that simple exterior lies a seething mass of secret thoughts, feelings, passions, and desires. Men keep theses secrets from women for two reasons: to stay out of trouble, and because they don’t know how to explain them without sounding like blithering idiots.

Find out what man is thinking secretly, but would never tell you:

1-      Sometimes, he has no idea what you’re talking about

Women talk about their feelings as a way of communicating, whereas men are more practical and want to find answers. Sometimes, women don’t want solutions, they just want men to listen to them, but men need a specific problem to solve or they get confused and overloaded, it’s that Mars and Venus thing – sometimes, men and women are talking a completely different language.

2-      He is jealous of your male friends

Men just don’t believe that male-female friendships can ever be entirely innocent. Men are more jealous than women.

3-      He is terrified of you turning into your mother

When they look at your mom, they see you in 20 yeas’ time, and if your mother is a bit, well, difficult, that idea hardly fills him with glee.

4-      He hates that you earn more than him

It maybe the 21th century and women might be outstripping men in some fields, but it doesn’t mean he likes it. When it comes to money, even the newest of new men still feel they should bring home the crumb. This can be an issue if the woman is earning significantly more. It’s important for men to be a good provider, as this is central to men’s identity. That’s because they need to feel respected. They also think that if they don’t provide for the needs of their partner, they will disappear and there is truth in that, because love is not unconditional.

5-      He is scared of commitment, even if he’s made one

He might have mentioned the “M” word, but a part of his brain is still working on excuses to flee. Men don’t like feeling pressurised. They will never be completely relaxed about the pace of a relationship and women often drive relationships along. He may think there’s someone cuter just around the corner, so he might have doubts about committing to you. But he knows that making those doubts overt will lead to disaster, so he will keep quiet about them.

6-      He does look at other women

It’s very important for men to see themselves as sexual creatures – if you feel like you’ve hung up your hat, so to speak, you feel less of a man. They are also very visual creatures, so looking at a pretty girl is part of what makes the world go round. But it doesn’t mean they want to sleep with her, it’s more like looking at a work of art.

7-      He never wants to grow up

This may not be the most shattering revelation, but inside every man is a twenty-something boy, living off burgers and laddish banter. Some men never change; they might be 70 and still going out with their mates on a Friday evening. But men are also scared of getting old because it means losing strength and virility.

8-      Sometimes he fakes it too

One of the biggest myths about men is that they’re always ready for sex at the drop of a hat. But there’s growing evidence that, like women, men are often too tired, stressed, or distracted. Women think men are always up for it and they only have to say the word, then off they go,. Not many men explain just how much of an anxiety this is for them. And most women have concluded that men are sometimes just too tired, or they’ve got a lot on their mind so they fake it. But, like a woman, they would never own up to it.
