4 Ways to Get Through to Your ManW. Bruce Cameron—author and famous traitor to his sex—lets you in on a few proven communication strategies.
"Let Me Get Your Power Drill"Suppose you want a man to do something for you, and you've asked him, oh, a thousand times. He's promised he would, which is what's so frustrating—if he flatly refused, at least you'd understand why he isn't taking action. He doesn't want you to remind him about what he needs to do, even though he keeps forgetting. Don't ask him to do a specific task ("Fix the drip in the shower") but to be in charge of solving the problem ("The leak in the shower is driving me crazy"). Offer to help him ("Tell me what tools you need, and I'll go get them for you"). Men love to show women their tools. From the June 2005 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
