From Glamour magazine, 11 Things Guys Just Don’t Understand
about Women
, it seems that the biggest beef men have with women is that
they can’t understand our style of communication.  Seriously, six of the eleven things were
about communication!

Men and women have very different styles of communication.  I know, newsflash, right?  Let me break it down and offer some tips to
improve communication between the sexes. 
There are five major differences in communication between men and women,
in my personal experience. 

The third thing that men just don’t understand about women is “cattiness”
and talking about people behind their back. 

Nothing shows a guy how insecure a woman is faster than talking badly about
someone—especially another woman-- behind their back.  And nothing turns a guy off faster than an
insecure woman.  The only cure for this
is maturity.  Grow up, figure out the
parts of yourself you really like and make the most of them.  Figure out the parts you don’t like and work
on either improving or accepting them.
