How to Criticize a Man Correctly: 5 Rules for the Future

25.11.2024 15:35

A man who is faced with female criticism is unlikely to act the way his partner wants.

Categorical female phrases during a showdown act as a paralyzing agent on a man, and he may stop taking initiative altogether.

Women who do this should not only avoid making accusations, but also know how to criticize correctly so that what is heard has the desired effect.

Here are some tips that will make a huge difference.

First, away with emotions

If you want your words to reach a man’s heart and mind, then criticize without negative emotions, sometimes being ironic, and sometimes turning into a joke.

There is no need to show anger and aggression, only positive emotions can get a response.

Second, praise first, and then...

An old trick, but it works. Tell a man what a great guy he is and that without him you would be lost. Then gently ask him to redo what you are not happy with.

It is unlikely that he will perceive this as a reproach.

Third, go from yourself.

Avoid direct reproaches. Instead of scolding him for what he didn't do or did wrong, simply tell him how upset you are, sincerely expressing your feelings.

If you do not show a drop of anger, but shed a tear, the man will be touched and will want to atone for his guilt.

Fourth, nothing personal

There is no need to wring your hands and lament as you remember what your mother warned you about when you walked down the aisle with your man.

If something didn't work out, advise him to do it differently, or even another time. But don't even think about generalizing and listing all his shortcomings.

Fifth - only in private

If you decide to talk about a man’s failures in the circle of friends, relatives and children – be careful.

He may decide that you no longer support him, and your thoughtless action may ruin the relationship.

For reference

Criticism is a judgment about the merits and demerits of any work, an analysis, an assessment of the phenomena of any area of human activity.
