    “Men don’t communicate.” There are multiple modes of communication. If you know, you know.

      men do communicate.

      it’s that most women can’t process it because they don’t do direct communication. everything is indirect.

      hence men and women talk past each other. i literally had girlfriends where i’d tell them something… and then they would repeat back to me the opposite of what I said. because they didn’t understand the concept of meaning what you say. to them if i said I liked chicken, it meant I was actually saying I like steak.

      and they’d do the opposite. they’d tell me they wanted like a handbag for christmas, so i’d get them a handbag. and they’d be disappointed because what they really wanted was earrings. but if they asked for that directly it would be bad, i was supposed to ‘prove’ my communication skills by somehow knowing what she really wanted without her ever expressing it.
