The effects of the differences in men and women.

Why doesn’t he ever listen to me?  Why doesn’t she stop talking? These words and this pictures illustrate perfectly the differences in the ways men and women communicate.  Men are usually very blunt and short in their speaking, while woman tend to use language that tends to make their conversations longer.  Girls often make their dialogues longer by agreeing with the women, and if women do disagree, they will usually try to spare the other women’s feelings because women tend to be empathizers because women use more of their mirror neurons to help them relate with other’s emotions.  (Brizendine 101) Women are also more talkative and will go hang out by going to a restaurant and just hanging out with the men or going shopping and asking each other’s opinions on clothing.  This can be a good thing, but sometimes women will focus so much on another’s emotions or her own emotions and get bogged down by the weight of those emotions.  Men often are very short in their dialogue and will not spare another’s emotions if they disagree.  They may respond with a straight answer of “You’re Wrong” or “You’re Stupid”  Men also do not usually go shopping with other men probably because of homophobia.  This can probably be traced to men wanting to be in constant control of a situation.  If they are viewed as homophobic by other men, it can be more difficult for them to keep control of a given situation because they may lose “respect” of the other men.  In short, men and women have trouble seeing eye, understanding the other’s motives, or even just talking to each other.  Perhaps if men and women understood better how the other worked, maybe they could have a better and more open communication.
