Men’s Intuition
September 29, 2008 |
AMan’s Intuition
Women are credited about 110% of the time for having this “sixth sense” if you will. Intuition is thought to be as natural for women to possess as it is for us to have breasts. Now, let me just say at this point that I’ll be the first to tell you how utterly fabulous it is to be a woman. We have the privilege to bear children, love the color pink and to change our minds as often as we please. However, I think that men have their own brand of intuition that is often overlooked.
Granted, a man’s answer to a “gut feeling” may not b the same as that of a woman but he still acts on them. Men tend to be fixers; you tell them your problems, they will most likely not commiserate. They will want to fix it. If you want someone to listen until you’ve talked yourself blue in the face, you have one of two options. 1. Tell a girl friend and 2. Tell a man but preface your vent with “just listen, don’t try to solve this….” Trust me, you’ll get a lot further this way.
Anyway, back to their intuition. My husband and I are by no means the perfect couple. But he does this neat little thing that really makes me happy. When I’m having an insecurity attack, I rarely have to tell him. He immediately knows that something’s up and manages to say or do something to make me feel lots better. For about two years of our dating relationship, we were long distance. I don’t mean 90 minutes away from each other, I mean at least a thousand miles and several states apart. We had been engaged for only about a month or so when he came to visit me for a week. He left on a Sunday and the next day, I missed him so much that I didn’t even want to go back to my empty apartment. Anyway, I got out of class to find a voicemail telling me how much he loved and missed me, etc.. You have no idea how happy it made me to hear those words but it gets way better. When I got home, there was another message from him on my landline telling me that he knows how hard it is to be apart but that we’ll be ok. It said other things too but y’all don’t need to know every detail. Just know that his messages made a world of difference that day.
Did I tell him how I was feeling? No. In fact, we hadn’t even talked that day because of school. The point is that he knew that I needed to hear those things that very day without any prompting. My question to you guys is this: Do you believe in men’s intuition and why or why not?
