So, according to The Modern African Guy, it all boils down to how our<br />
African men are socialized. Men have learnt from an early age to express<br />
their love through actions. He will avoid talking because he is afraid of<br />
being vulnerable or saying the wrong things that might escalate the<br />
situation. To women; honesty is the best policy, whereas to men; silence is<br />
the better option!<br />
The trick here is to understand how your man communicates and to<br />
realize that you cannot make him talk. But he was also quick to add,<br />
“If a man can’t step up to communicate, save yourself the trouble and step<br />
out.” Men never quit. They never make it formal. Their silence is a sign<br />
that things aren’t going to be better and they hope you figure it out<br />
somehow without them having to necessarily talk.<br />
Mothers give their sons so much leeway as they grow up. Sometimes<br />
men get into relationships looking for their mothers: to always let them<br />
get away with mistakes. Therefore, it is important that to have standards<br />
and clear boundary lines when getting into relationships, and to not give<br />
discount cards once the lines are crossed.<br />
Although men are affected by the noises in their head, they rarely work<br />
hard to improve their inner self; he will focus a lot on provision and<br />
security that he will go chasing after business deals and career<br />
improvement but that. Not to forget that they are taught to always drop<br />
pick-up lines when dating which prevents them from opening up to talk<br />
about other issues that may be disturbing them.<br />
One thing that was coming out clearly was that his silence has nothing to<br />
do with me and no amount of worrying whether it was something I did<br />
or did not or said and did not say was going to make him talk.<br />
