Continuation of Differences between men and women

WOMEN LOVE TO TALK

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously anout variety of subjects, including children, men, careers, and waht's happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen - they can't do both - and they don't understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships - not just sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.

During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the storyline and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. since women originally spent their days with the other women and childen in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.

Men see the telephone as a communication tool for relaying facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a meaning of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.

There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to, and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys.

MEN TALK SILENTLY TO THEMSELVES

Men evolves as warriors, protectors and problem solvers. Their brain bias and social conditioning prevent them from showing fear or uncertainty. This is why, when a man is asked to solve a problem, he will often say, "Can you leave it to me?" or "I'll think it over" and that is exactly what he does - he thinks it over silently, with an expressionless face. Only when he has the answer will he speak or look animated to show he is ready to communicate the solution. Men talk mainly inside their heads because they don't have the verbal capibility that women have to us words externally for communication. When a man is sitting staring out of a window, a brain scan shows that he is having a conversation with himslef - inside his head. When a women sees a man doing this, she assumes that he's something to do. A man will often become angry when interrupted. As we know, he can't do more than one thing at once.
