Men and women are wired differently and this is a well-known fact. Men often find it difficult to understand certain things women do, which stresses them out. 

Truth is, it's better to be direct instead of doing these things.

But, here are some things men find confusing about women:

  • Body language

Attraction is often communicated through non-verbal cues, with body language revealing more than words ever could. If you’re trying to determine whether a woman is interested in you, observing her body language can give you valuable insights.

Women rely on subtle body language cues to convey their feelings or indicate interest. However, decoding these non-verbal signals can be challenging for men who may not be as attuned to these cues or may interpret them differently.

  • Changing preferences

Many of us know that a woman's preferences, including those related to relationships, can evolve over time. What a woman might find attractive or desirable in one phase of her life may not align with her preferences in another phase. Men find this very puzzling and they struggle to keep up with these changes.

  • Indirect communication

Women often use indirect communication styles, like throwing in hints, subtleties, and non-verbal cues to convey their thoughts and feelings. Men, on the other hand, generally, tend to prefer direct communication. They find indirectness very confusing.

  • Emotional complexity

Women are often perceived as having a greater emotional range and complexity when compared to men. This can sometimes make it difficult for men to fully grasp or predict a woman's emotional responses or understand the factors influencing her mood.

  • Mixed signals

Men may sometimes struggle to interpret mixed signals from women. Women sometimes show interest one moment and then appear distant or unresponsive the next. This makes it challenging for men to understand the underlying reasons behind these fluctuations.
