>>16 I think it is important to some men to feel needed, important, and even superior in some ways. He might want to teach his woman about something new, it gives him a type of satisfaction. By telling him "I know how to do that already!" or saying "I don't want to do that" you are denying him a feeling of importance. You are also denying yourself a learning experience.

My fiance took great pleasure in teaching me how to drive, although I was terrified about driving his car into something he liked the feeling of being a teacher and he liked being able to tell me that he was proud of me for driving well on the first try. He was proud because he was the one who showed me how to drive well. I think this feeling is very important to a man.

There are many things I already know that he doesn't and he can also learn from me. There are things we both know, but I'll let him tell my about it anyways because it makes him happy. I don't feel the need to know everything with him and if it makes him happy, then why deny him that? It is also rather rude to tell someone "I know!" after they tell you something.
