I read an article talking about the views on different sex’s and how they communicate. It basically explained how the divorce rate is raising. Most couples that got a divorce based it on their communication level. Also it pointed out why these communication levels differ so much in gender.
It pointed out in the article that while growing up boys tend to have more of a group type friendship, when girls have only one best friend that they share secrets with and rely on that person when they need a friend. They also explained that with in a time frame the boys would talk about so many different subjects, while in that same time the two girls would talk about one subject.
Then when the girls would talk the listener would always respond with a “yes” or some other response related to that, while boys just sit and listen. This really clarified a lot to me, because in a lot of relationships I always thought that guys never really listened but its just our different subcultures, that sets us apart
I think this is what makes it very misleading for women, because in a relationship we expect someone to be a “best friend” and by that I mean someone who responds like a girl. I think we need to realize that maybe guys are listening to us when we think they aren’t
