Tele’s pieces are always a fresh addition to the goldinwords collection, this is no exception.

When I first read this one, I was like “Gosh, all girlfriends (mine inclusive) must see this (& bfs too, if you insist). Because if guys spoke French and girls spoke Hausa, then this, friends, is your translator. I think this piece may perhaps just save your relationship; the one you’re in, or about to get into. Tele, we’re all ears…

They were two totally different individuals with markedly different outlooks on life, but they both were not aware of what I’m about to spill my guts on (at my Muse’s insistence, of course) to you reading this. During my different conversations with them I gradually came to a conclusion that had previously been arrived at by far greater minds than mine: Misunderstanding is the Number 1 Relationship-Killer in our world today.

Today, this piece is directed at the ladies, mostly. Fellas here, observe and back me up if you understand what I’m getting at. And listen when I drop something your way.

I’ve been advocating that most of my female friends find, and read, a book which helps a lot in attempts to ‘figure out’ the opposite sex…and might even lend some insight into their own persona: John Gray’s Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. When I become rich and have my own TV Show, it’s definitely going to be a favourite of my Book Club and I’ll add it to my annual Favourite Things hamper every year! lol Read the rest of this entry »
