6 ways to get HIM to listen.

By Sparklingjem.

After my article “Female Survival Guide”: What He Really Means, I received a lot of feedback from women saying, “We don’t care what HE means. How do we get HIM to listen to US?” After doing a bit of research, I realised there are many articles out there suggesting half-hearted ways that women can try to get men to listen. My conclusion: they don’t work. If you really want men to listen, you have to be firm. We put all of Stuff-about.com’s resources into finding the answer and here it is ladies. 6 fool proof ways to get HIM to listen to YOU.

1.Stick to topics he is interested in.
Men’s brains have a much smaller memory capacity than women’s. This leads to a much smaller area of interest. While women have many varied interests that constantly change over time, the majority of men on hitting puberty develop a limited number of set interests which are universal. Men find it difficult to focus on anything outside of these interests, so it is a good idea to stick to subjects he can focus on. These include and are pretty much limited to beer, food, sex, sport and themselves.

2.Tie him down so he can’t escape
Experts suggest that if you want to have a serious conversation with a guy, you should approach it while you are sitting side by side. This is because “Looking him directly in the eye can make him feel threatened” According to our research however, men feel threatened in any situation involving women and conversation. To ensure he can’t escape while you are talking to him, incapacitate him in some way. You can do this by tying him down or cuffing him (he will probably let you do this if you ask him) or setting his feet in a tub of quick drying cement while he is sleeping.

3.Do NOT interrupt a sporting event.
Women often make the mistake of trying to hold a conversation with a guy while they are watching sports, this is a big mistake. Men and dogs have an inexplicable fascination with spherical objects; if they see a ball, their attention is immediately diverted. If you really wish to hold a conversation during a sporting event, you have to employ drastic measures such as breaking the TV, disabling the internet connection and phone lines and trapping him in the house by barricading all doors and windows. It is important that he does not suspect you have anything to do with any of these events. The alternative is to invite him to watch you having lesbian sex, which Stuff-about.com’s Institute of Social Sciences and Psychological studies concluded is the most effective way to divert a male's attention from sport.

4.Use smaller words and shorter sentences.
