Men and women And communication

Because men and women interact and interpret things very differently, learning how to change your approach is of utmost importance for the stability and longevity of relationships.

* Men and women THINK differently
* Men and women SPEAK differently
* Men and women DECIDE differently

Men think compartmentally
Women think globally.

Men speak to report facts in short phrases with little or no details,
Women speak in paragraphs tobuild rapport with lots of details.

Men want and need the “bottom line” first and foremost, followed up with more details now that their need for the bottom line has been met.

Women want and need to build up to the bottom line, as their enjoyment comes from telling the story.

On average:

Women use 25,500 words in a day
Men use about 12,500 in a day.

:-) :-)
A man using 12,495 words during an average work day comes home with only five words left, “What’s for dinner?” (that’s three!) and “Good Night” (that‘s five!).

Women maintain eye contact while speaking for twelve seconds
Man maintaining eye contact for three seconds.

Women have been taught since childhood to use “hint language” when asking for something she wants or needs.

Unfortunately, men do not often get the hint, due to the fact that men tend to take language very literally, focusing attention on the context of the message rather than hidden meanings.
