Understood. We women get that loud and clear. This is NOT how women communicate, however.

reeeeeaaaaaaaally.

Guess you've never been in a woman's locker room after a game. No comment

(ahhh I couldnt help it. j/k )and not my point.
You totally personalized my post, just like GEL is with her H. She can focus on the fact that she IS getting a compliment, or be 'bristly' about it being good enough.
Or she can work with him on changing this aspect of being male. Im sure there is a compromise in there somewhere.

Shouldnt that just be ...like.... expected? NO.




Wow. OK. duly noted. A job well done is to be unexpected.

Women typically respond better to this type of thing when there is noticable space between the compliment, and 'let's see how we can improve' discussion.

Thank you. This IS helpful.
