Nagging Does Work On Men

June 23, 2008

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Rightly spoken, as everyone knows a nagging life partner and family arguments tend to ruin family life. As anyone married to the Queen of Naggers and tired of her bickering, complaining and harassment will tell you. If, women think nagging will change what she doesn’t like in her man, she’s wrong. Starting on him the moment he arrives home till he hits the sack, only ruins any communication you might have with each other. And, if the nagging gets so bad, it may lead your man to ask his boss for overtime work. They would rather stay away from home than have your complaints drive them up the wall.

As for men, if your wife is not a habitual nagger, then listen up! She may be resorting to nagging because she has something to tell you, but you are not listening. Men’s psychology is different from women’s and more often than not, women approach their men the wrong way. To understand what each is saying it is essential to interpret the other’s behaviour and the consequences of such behaviour on the other. Try and be open and honest with each other and communicate clearly at the right time with the right words. As for control freaks, few men are able to put up with them. They would rather put an end to such a relationship because it demoralises and consistently belittles them. Neither do men want a domestic tyrant at home who rigidly keeps time at home

However, not everyone believes that nagging is simply wasting your breath and it never works. Researchers claim it does work. Women who are forever urging their other halves to help more around the house may feel at times they are wasting their breath. But, according to experts, they should persevere as eventually all that nagging will work. Research shows mental exhaustion produced by a constant stream of questions or orders leaves us open to persuasion. In other words, nagging leaves us too tired to resist.

Other advice gleaned from the science of persuasion on getting your own way, includes not hesitating when making your pitch, not giving too many choices, meeting face to face. Studies show people are more likely to do what is asked of them, if their mental reserves are low. Another tip is not to ask the object of your request for too much. Flattery also helps get your own way, as does mirroring the body language of the person you are trying to persuade.

If, all else fails, try getting them hot and angry, a successful strategy used by politicians and animal rights groups to make people sympathetic to their cause.

The ultimate conclusion, nag long and hard enough and you can get your man to do just what you want, simply because he would like nothing better than to get you to shut up, so he can have a little peace and quiet. So nag away for all you’re worth, but stop short of ruining your relationship or family life!
