listening....true listening is a skill that need to be learned. Most people are just waiting for their turn to talk.... as for gender biases.....Women ARE more verbal than men...so maybe you have a point. Allan Pease,co author of "Why men need sex and women need love" conducted a series of EEG's, PET scans and other tests to demonstrate that neuronal activity in many parts of the brain was at a very low level when a man was actually speaking and that there was totally dissimilar neuronal activity when a woman was speaking forcing him to conclude that there are considerable differences, (aside from the genitalia, as one person pointed out,) in actual brain activity during periods of speech and listening between men and women. If I needed love, I'd be in for a world of hurt.

Men switch off when it comes to both talking and listening, women can both talk and listen at the same time. Anyone with comments?? There are men like that. I've heard about many of them. I am not one of them. Lots of women have told me "You're the first guy who ever took the time to listen to what I have to say," though, so apparently there are a lot of non-listeners out there. |

I really don't believe that.We all have shitty days,and we don't went to talk and have our ears turned off.If you know they are not in the mood to talk why are you even talking to them.You are better to leave them alone and try again later.That is why alot of men calls a lot of women bitchy,they always don't need the last word.Just smile and walk away,and think there is no fighting today....Oh, how peaceful that would be for the both of you....

I don't think it's that they can't listen, it's because they choose not to, and when they're called on it they make up some lame excuse about not being wired that way. It's bs. Men and women have the same capabilities, some just choose to use them, and some don't. And I've never understood why someone would want to label themselves as an idiot, who wants to date an idiot? Not me! |

Men switch off when it comes to both talking and listening, women can both talk and listen at the same time. Anyone with comments?? stupidest thing I ever heard just because it applies to you don't think to extend it to every man Thank you for your response, you certainly missed the point. A thesis was presented and instead of responding with any antithesis you decide that it is far better to just be insulting and derogatory not to the thesis itself, but to the person offering the thesis. Actually as a fairly new guy to this site I have noticed, as a point of generalisation, that this is done on a fairly regular basis by a few people who really should know better. First you welcome someone ...then you wait for a suitable opportunity to demonstrate your unwillingness to examine the thesis/thread and instead spit out any nonsense you decide upon aimed at the writer. Oh, you haven't SEEN him be derogatory or insulting yet! He was being nice! Stay tuned, ya might learn somethin'. |

Not me! I will say that, in my experience, women are better listeners, better problem-solvers, more intelligent, and more interesting than men. But then they have to go and ruin it by trying to turn me into a goat. |

Actually if I am talking I shouldn't have to listen because the way i was raised you do not talk when somebody else is talking, I talk she listen then she talks and I listen that is how it should work.
People who talk over others are not worth listening to, be polite and wait your turn. |

Ok...so...I was watching the Today show this morning and they actually discussed this topic... http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/33495762/ns/today-today_relationships/ *shrugs* Oh, well, the Today Show, that settles it then. Did I say that? No. Please don't make assumptions. What I was simply stating was that this identical topic was discussed this morning on a popular morning news show. I just thought it was odd to see it TWICE in the same day. My apologies...I totally missed the cyber-influx. But as I was watching this segment today on the Today show all I could think was...WHO would WANT to listen to you two women ANYways...but that's just me. |

Not me! Kind of like ADHD...yep, the 90's created an attention deficit disorder called 'stop letting your kid control you with lame excuses'. Then a lot of kids start using the same excuse, well, now we can create a pill and make lots of money! See, this is why I tend not to follow studies much unless it is done by an independent outside 3rd party. |

People who talk over others are not worth listening to, be polite and wait your turn. Except then you have people that take advantage of this fair concept. People who talk much and say little. I like to respond to concepts and ideas presented in the conversation without having to wait 20 to 30 minutes to get to ask them. I also prefer a yes or no to a yes or no question, without a complicated answer. |

People who talk over others are not worth listening to, be polite and wait your turn. This is because you are a guy and want to and have been raised to extend something called grace and patience, to take turns at kicking the ball. It is also an issue of central focus, whereby men tend to focus at a differnt neuronal reading level. Women who have different neuronal readings and are arguably less rigidly compartmentalised, are therefore more enabled to multi task. |

My cousin and my ex bff have kids like that, everything is now a disorder, not bad parenting or just a rotten kid.

Most people like to listen to themselves talking so I guess everybody can talk and listen as long as its their own voice they hear.

Most of the guys I know can't comprehend anything beyond bars and boobs. They're just entirely too one-dimensional for me to enjoy spending time with. With women, as long as there's never any inclination towards an actual "relationship," I rarely see that particular problem. |
