6 Things Women Must Learn From Men »
Undoubtedly, men and women make two sides of
the same coin as they are perfect complements to
each other. Yet both sexes are uniquely different.
However, there must be a thing or two that one can
learn from the other.
So, taking the battle of sexes forward, we allowed
men to share things the ladies could learn from
them to make life a little more worth living...And
what's more? Brought in some ladies too, to share
their opinion

1. Man teaches: Logic Lessons
"Don't hate me for pointing this out, but life will be
far easier if women understand that everything in
life has logic behind it. Men follow their innate
logic as they take decisions, while women are
absolutely unaware about the mere existence of
logic. And this makes it really hard for men to deal
with women," says TV actor.
Gal talk: "Women possess an innate sense of
judgment, which they learn while living life. We do
get influenced many a time, but at the same time
we have a very 'pace-y logic' that we learn on the
way. This usually makes us 'street-smart,' but
unfortunately men don't relate to this and end up
calling us 'logic-illiterate," says actress.
2. Man teaches: Emotions can take a backseat at
times
Usually blamed for lacking emotions, TV actor
Varun Badola says, "Women must learn that every
situation doesn't call for a huge emotional turmoil.
Holding back one's sentiments when they are not
required won't make the female sex hard-hearted
and indifferent, but of course a little rational and
practical."
Gal talk: Waving the emotional flag higher, TV
actress Rajeshwari Sachdev maintains, "When
women use emotions, they put their brains behind
each one of their emotions to ensure that they don't
hurt people while putting their thoughts forward. I
think emotions add meaning to one's life."
3. Man teaches: Everything doesn't call for intensity
Women call it showing that they care, while men
tag it as being overtly intense. "Missing breakfast is
not such a big deal as women make it to be by
reminding us a hundred times that we missed it.
Women usually get intense about the smallest of
things and situations. If they learn to chill out from
men, they'll be able to enjoy life like never before,"
says tele star Rohit Roy.
Gal talk: TV star Tina Kuwajerwala says, "One of
the partners has to be over -the-top to make the
other one feel wanted in the relationship. It's the
intensity in a woman that helps her enrich every
relationship in her life with depth and compassion.
Else, a woman's home would have been as cold as
the road, where no one cares for the other."
4. Man teaches: Gossip, only when needed
Despite being official that even men gossip, actor
Rahul Dev wants women to learn the art of keeping
a tab on gossip sessions from men. "I'm not asking
women to stop gossiping. I don't mean that men
don't gossip, but what I want women to learn from
men is doing a controlled crime. Not every situation
calls for a gossip and bitching session," says Dev.
Gal talk: In a mood for some male bashing, says
Pratibha Gupta, a Delhi-based-marketing
professional, "To gossip or not to gossip is an
absolute individual choice. Still, since time
immemorial women have been blamed for being
gossip mongers. But off late the tables have turned
and one can't miss those all-male, coffee counter
hush-hush sessions. We are still better than men
because we don't feel ashamed of an act that we
love to indulge in!"
5. Man teaches: Sense of humour
We thought only women craved for men who
possess a great sense of humour! But Mahesh
Srikanta, a Mumbai-based-sports producer says,
"Women are in desperate need to learn the art of
laughing at life from men. Compared to men,
women lack a good sense of humour and as a
result they fail to enjoy life."
Gal talk: "Have you ever heard a man laughing his
guts out at his own self, but women do that with
ease. Gatecrash an all women pajama party and
you'll know. However if they blame us for being
'bad at humour' because we can't take jokes aimed
at our spouses and kids, then I guess, men need to
learn a lesson or two from women," points out
Madhurima Goswami, a Delhi-based-teacher.
6. Man teaches: To taste reality
Blaming women for living in their own dream
world most of the times. Kunal Soni, a techie from
Delhi, wants women to be more practical about life.
"I feel that women tend to have a rather fantasised
thinking about almost everything that happens in
life, be it a relationship or a marriage. They should
learn from men to think practically about life and
accept that things can't be eternally hunky dory as
per their dreams."
Joins in Krishanu Bhattacharjee, a Mumbai-based,
corporate communication manager, "I seriously
want women to accept situations realistically. We
are tired of manipulating the truth only to make it
sound sweeter for their ears. For instance, a
question like 'Am I looking fat in this dress?' is a
Herculean task for a man to answer as he wants to
retain peace in a relationship. If women can learn
to accept the truth the way men can, life will
become more chilled out."
Gal talk: "I'll blame it on the genes that women
possess. They love to get flattered, is it too hard for
men to understand that? There's a way to put
things across. The art of deception is a trait men
ought to learn from women," argues Manini.
