Some secrets women should know about men
In your pursuit of love and romance, you tend to be somewhat selfish. That’s okay. It happens to everyone.
You have grand dreams and visions of what your ideal relationship is going to look like. You would begin to fantasise about what your dream guy is going to be and what kind of personality he has.
However, have you ever just stopped to think about what it would be like for the guy in this scenario? Sure, you know what you want.
But you might not be aware of the types of efforts that men go through to find love for themselves as well. You shouldn’t make the mistake of not taking the time to understand men.
And if you don’t know where to start in that regard, then this article is going to be perfect for you. Here are a few secrets about men that you might have never realised on your own:
They also have to put up with the risk of rejection
A lot of women like to play the role of the victim a lot whenever they are rejected in romance and love. And that’s normal. It’s okay to feel sad about being rejected. However, it would be foolish to think that men don’t have to suffer through rejection, too. Men have to put up with rejection a lot, considering that they’re the ones who tend to make the initial approach in dating and relationships.
They feel a lot of pressure to be kind to women
Men are always held to a high standard. They are continually being told that they need to conduct themselves like gentlemen. And yes, that is, indeed, how it should be. However, you shouldn’t be so unfair to ignore just how difficult it is. Sometimes, a man can get lambasted by society in such a significant manner for something that a woman would be forgiven instantly for.
They can’t get dates that easily
Sure, women always have to wait around for a man to ask them out. This is especially true for women who aren’t very forward or aggressive in their romantic ways. However, that doesn’t mean that men can get dates left and right. When a man gets rejected, it can be tough for him to find the confidence that he needs to stay persistent in asking girls out.
They feel a lot of pressure to do everything on their own
Men are always touted as the supposedly stronger gender. And that might be true in the physical sense due to biological and anatomical factors. However, that isn’t still going to be the case in an emotional touch. Men are always encouraged to swallow their feelings and pretend like nothing is wrong. And this can be very destructive to a person’s state of mind.
They don’t know how to relate to others, as well as women do
Women are just more empathetic. This is in connection with the previous item on this list. Since men are encouraged to be less emotional, then they don’t get a chance to be in tune with the feelings of other people as well. That means that it can be complicated for them to relate to others.
They aren’t aware of what women want
Men have no clue what women want. Sure. You might think that you don’t understand men. But it’s all the same for them as well. Honestly, they don’t understand women either. They are just as clueless as you would be. Naturally, it would be unfair for you to expect any different from them.
They struggle with always having to take control of a relationship
Men tend to be thrust into leadership positions in the relationship. However, not all people are built to be leaders. And it can be awful for a man who doesn’t have leadership qualities to carry those kinds of expectations from a woman.

The Global Network of Export-Import Banks and Development Finance Institutions (G-NEXID) successfully held its sixth (6th) Exchange Programme, hosted by the Ghana Export – Import Bank (GEXIM) Bank in Accra from March 22 to 23 March.
The event brought together member institutions, partner organisations and Ghanaian public entities to advance dialogue on South-South trade, investment and development finance, while also creating opportunities for knowledge-sharing and institutional cooperation.
Organised as a capacity-building and networking platform, the 2026 edition of the G-NEXID Exchange focused on GEXIM’s experience in developing innovative solutions to promote intra-African and extra-African trade.
It also highlighted trade and investment opportunities in Ghana, particularly in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and broader national development initiatives.
The Exchange Programme forms part of G-NEXID’s mandate to foster cooperation among export-import banks and development finance institutions in support of South-South trade and investment.
This 6th edition follows earlier successful programmes hosted by India Exim Bank (2016), BNDES (2017), Indonesia Eximbank (2018), Afreximbank (2019) and Saudi EXIM Bank (2025).
On the first day, participants were presented with G-NEXID institutional information and received an update on the Network’s 2026 work programme.
There were a series of substantive presentations, including an overview of the Ghanaian economy by the Ministry of Finance, with particular attention to debt-related challenges; a presentation by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), on investment opportunities in the country; and institutional presentations by GEXIM and Development Bank Ghana (DBG) on their respective mandates, initiatives, products and services.
Discussions during the sessions underscored strong interest in sector-focused webinars and business dialogues, particularly in agribusiness value chains such as poultry and rice.
Participants also emphasized the importance of continued information exchange and the sharing of best practices, especially in the area of guarantees.
The second day opened with a presentation on the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, a national economic transformation strategy launched by President John Dramani Mahama in July 2025.
The initiative aims to enhance economic productivity through continuous industrial activity, accelerated export development and strategic import substitution.
As the programme is expected to mobilise both private and development capital, it presents concrete opportunities for G-NEXID members in areas such as co-financing, guarantees, trade finance and technical cooperation.
The programme also featured institutional presentations by guest organisations, namely the African Guarantee and Economic Cooperation Fund (FAGACE) and the West African Development Bank (BOAD), which shared their mandates, initiatives, products and services.
Following these exchanges, the G-NEXID Secretariat held bilateral discussions with both institutions as part of the Network’s ongoing membership drive.
Participants further benefited from a presentation by the Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TDB), as well as a showcase of GEXIM’s key pipeline projects.
On the margins of the Exchange Programme, G-NEXID members also held their 20th Annual General Assembly Meeting to review progress and discuss strategic priorities.
Following the event, participants joined the GEXIM@10 International Conference, held from March 24-25, 2026 under the theme, “A Decade of Enabling Export Trade and Industrial Transformation: Resetting GEXIM for the Next Frontier.”
The conference provided an important platform for exploring how Ghana can strengthen its transition from a primary commodity exporter to a more competitive player in value-added trade and industrial development.

President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, signed five bills including three amendment bills passed by Parliament into law.
They are: Security and Intelligence Agencies Bill, 2025; University of Engineering and Agricultural Sciences Bill, 2025; Ghana Deposit Protection (Amendment) Bill, 2025; Growth and Sustainability Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2026; and Education Regulatory Bodies (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
In a brief remark after assenting to the bills, President Mahama explained that the Security and Intelligence Agencies Act, 2026, scraps the Office of Minister of National Security and frees the President’s to appoint any Minister to supervise the security agencies.
He said it also reverses the name of the office of National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), to the original name, Bureau of National Intelligence, (BNI).
This the President said, addresses the confusion between that security agency and a well-known Ghanaian financial institution, the National Investment Bank.
President Mahama also noted that the University of Engineering and Agricultural Sciences Act, 2026, establishes another University in the Eastern Region, at Bonsu, with three campuses – the main campus at Bonsu in the Eastern Region, with the second campus to be cited at Ohawu in the Oti Region.
The third, the Presdient assed will be located at Acherensua in the Ahafo Region.
Touching on the Amendment to the Growth and Sustainability Levy Act, the President said, “As you’re aware, the act was amended to increase it from 1% to 3%, and so this act reduces it again. That is the levy on mining companies. It reduces it again to 1%, because of the introduction of the sliding scale of royalties.”
He also spoke to the passage of the Government Education Regulatory Bodies Amendment Act, emphasising that amends Act 1023 to grant greater flexibility to private tertiary institutions and the option to Charter.
The Ghana Deposit Protection Amendment Act, the President concluded, is an amendment to an original act that was supposed to guarantee deposits held in commercial banks or financial institutions.
It basically expands protection to include mobile money wallets and other digital platforms, ensuring a wider scope of digital financial assets are secured.
The signing ceremony, was witnessed by the Clerk of Parliament, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, Secretary to the President, Dr Callistus Mahama, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Dr Dominic Akrutinga Ayine, Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, a Senior Presidential Advisor and a Special Aide to the President, Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, and the Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang.
