One over-simplified
comparison of men and women is that men are linear and that women are circular.
Men will often pass over refinement for taking the direct approach. Women are
subtler, not necessarily traveling in a direct line from point A to point B,
whether it’s in conversation or actually travelling on the road. Men love games
that involve a stick or club hitting a ball, or games that involve getting an
object into some opening of various sizes.
Women are generally mystified by this concept, preferring to engage in nesting,
and making the physical, emotional and intellectual spaces in their lives as
interesting as possible. Again, as a male and a slave to the testosterone in
your body, you’ll never fully understand the idea of being circular, or
shopping, for that matter. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t step away
a bit from being rigidly linear.
This doesn’t suggest that you’re suddenly going to go into a cold sweat when
you find out the nearby designer shoe outlet is having a 70% off sale. The
implication is learning how being more circular with a woman will benefit you.
