It is scientifically proven that men tend to use the left side of their brain, where reasoning lies, and that women tend to use the right side of their brain, where emotion is an attribute. Not all guys do this and sometimes it's enough that they even call you babe, but it's even better when thought goes into it. It's a sweet way to show you that he's trying, even if he won't come out and say it. It's so subtle that he probably doesn't even realize it, but he's thought enough into it that he's not calling you a generic name. That hurts.Sweet pet names that are not the standard babe, baby, and honey are a great way to know that a guy cares about you. "I'll just talk to someone who understands me!" It sounds like you're saying I'm an awful partner and that I've spent all this time with you without paying attention to your particular emotional needs? Wow. I’ve comprised a list of a few particular words and phrases that are guaranteed to cut a guy's ego in half no matter how he may react outwardly. And just as guys know that there are certain buzzwords and statements guaranteed to be a roadblock to reaching any resolution, women should know that there is a female equivalent.

This will shock many women, but when couples argue, guys are often hurt by their partner's mid-fight retorts and declarations.


An inconvenient truth: women get the lifetime emotional hall pass guys do not. And that scares us because while women often say that they admire a guy who's unafraid to bare his soul or shed a tear, if he bares that bleeding heart too often, the lady eventually thinks, "too soft!" and she's out of there. Why? Because, to us, openly baring emotions equals weakness. But it's not something that's easy to change Guys are genetically predisposed to hide feelings.
