Any man with a reasonable bit of intelligence would never presume to understand the first thing about being a woman. You sit, you listen, and when you think you should react, do not.
I always remember my daughter on her stages of learning, fortunately I had some very nice girl friends at the time, they watched me raise her, and when it came time for certain things, I gave them my American Express card and told them have lunch on me as they assisted her. Nothing like a woman to explain life to a young girl, and then have a fantastic lunch.
To this day, my daughter still has good memories of those lunches.
