To Understand Women, Understand Yourself
There are certainly complexities between men and women, but maybe we’re really not that different after all.
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, eh? From a young age, we are taught that men and women fundamentally speak different languages and see the world differently. While this is true in many ways, it leaves us searching externally for ways to understand these foreign creatures — most times, to no avail.
It’s an age-old concept. Even Oscar Wilde proclaimed that “Women are meant to be loved, not understood.” So…is it even worth trying to explore the female psyche and gain a deeper understanding? Of course it is.
Human psychology is a never-ending study that spans the entire existence of our species. Science has barely scratched the surface of understanding consciousness, so it is natural to confuse and perturb each other now and then. However, I think that some introspection can help us further understand the women we know and love.
