1.玩视频游戏

I don’t know why but nowadays many men behave like teenagers. The statistics prove that men play video games too frequently. It steals their free time and makes the whole family suffer from the father’s video game addiction¹. I’ve already tried dating a gamer. I can state with assurance that dating a gamer is not a good idea at all. It seems to me that these people are living in a virtual reality and notice nothing except video games.

我不知道为什么，但是现在许多男人的行为就像青少年一样。数据表明男性玩视频游戏过于频繁。这偷走了他们大部分的自由时间，让整个家庭都陷入了父亲的视频游戏成瘾的现状。我也试着和一个游戏成瘾的人约会过。我可以很肯定的说，和游戏成瘾的人约会完全不是一个好主意。对我来说，那些游戏成瘾的人过着虚拟的生活，什么也注意不到，除了视频游戏。

2. Hiding their inner feelings and emotions

2.隐藏他们内心的感觉和感情

Have you ever thought of why do men prefer to play video games after a hard day at work? My ex once told me that his favorite video game was a perfect stress reliever for him. Unfortunately, many men can’t realize that they’re too old for video games. If you want to help your man get rid of this problematic habit, you should do your best to distract him from his high-tech² surroundings. You can motivate him to go in for sports together or shift focus on other interesting activities.

你想过男人在辛苦工作一天之后，更喜欢玩视频游戏的原因吗？我的前男友告诉我，他最喜欢的视频游戏对他来说，是一种减压的好办法。不幸的是，许多男人并未意识到他们的年龄不应该玩视频游戏。如果你想帮助你的男人摒弃这一问题性的习惯，你应该尽力去分散他在高科技环境下的注意力。你可以激励和他一起去运动，转移注意力到其他有趣的活动中去。

Unlike women, men find it difficult to open up and express their feelings and emotions. They’ll never pour out their soul or weep on somebody’s shoulder, because it’s not their pair of shoes. Unfortunately, they regard excessive emotionality as the biggest weakness of a real man. They also believe that secretiveness is the best way to avoid problems and protect themselves from evil-wishers. This habit is very annoying, because women often cannot understand what has happened to their significant others.

不像女人，男人发现自己很难敞开心扉表达他们的感觉和感情。他们永远不会倾诉自己的内心或者在别人的肩膀上哭泣，因为这并不适合他们。不幸的是，他们认为过度感情化是一个真正男人的最大弱点。他们也认为秘密是避免问题，保护自己不受坏人伤害的最好方法。这一习惯很烦人，因为女人经常很难理解她们最重要的一半发生了什么事情。

It’s been scientifically proved that women live a longer life, because they cannot keep both positive and negative emotions to themselves, like men usually do. Try to explain your man that unexpressed emotions can have a negative impact on his mental and physical well-being³. It’s desirable to express inner feelings and open up together.

科学证明，女性的寿命比男性更长，因为女性不能像男人那样经常将消极和积极的感情藏在自己心里。试着对你的男人解释说，感情不表达出来会对他们的身心健康有消极的影响。最好的就是表达内心的感情，互相敞开心扉。
