    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.
