They say that eye contact can be much more intimate than words can be. This is illustrated by Dr. Hellen Fisher in her multiple conversations when answering the question: what does intimacy mean for men and women?
Dr. Fisher assures that men and women define intimacy differently. Women define intimacy as the ability to talk face to face, men define it as doing something side by side. This is why we see women with their friends having face-to-face conversations and men watching a game at a bar side by side with their friends. hablar cara a cara, los hombres la definen como hacer algo lado a lado. Esta es la razón por la cual vemos a las mujeres con sus amigas teniendo conversaciones cara a cara y a los hombres viendo un juego en un bar lado a lado de sus amigos.
The reason? According to Dr. Fisher, the amount of time throughout history that women have been face to face with their children, educating them, loving them, repressing them, etc. And the men in the same way, for many years formed in a line behind the trees facing forward, waiting for the right moment to hunt an animal.
For millions of years men have fought against their enemies side by side with their companions. For this reason, when a woman stares at her man to have an intimate conversation, (in most cases) they will turn their heads the other way and try as much as possible to avoid that eye contact so as not to feel invaded. These behaviors are what make the woman feel avoided or ignored within the relationship.
So… How to fix it?
The answer will always be to communicate in the language of love and in the safe zone of the other.
