Absolutely correct. When I was a child and my mother went shopping with me, I found a seat and waited for her to finish. Same with my two wives.
As she said. I want something, I go to the store, find what I want, buy it and leave
Amazed she used the dress shopping example because i use almost the same example..... As a man i would feel lied to when my girlfriend would ask me to go shopping for a specific item... And then it would turn into a dozen different things........ And as i think back on it, i always remember saying to my mother "just please answer my question"... Just add on all the frills, secondary info, etc... After you give an answer!!!
+Johnny Dupont My experience with my mother was exactly the same. She NEVER answered questions with yes or no. NEVER, not even if the question logically demanded a yes or no answer and no other form. Interestingly, Japanese often approach conversation in the same way. That is why attorneys do not like having Japanese witnesses. Japanese typically answer backwards, details first, conclusion last. That doesn't work very well in court.
A..mazing ! that was really helpfull to my researsh ! thanx a lot !!!
Holy .... a woman that GETS IT!!!! What a lucky husband she has!
So true and it can cause a lot of problems and stress. My girlfriend will start talking about something important then go on and on about every trivial thing that she is thinking about.
In the end you are left thinking the trivial things are more important and much higher priority than the important things. The important things end up getting completely forgotten about then she makes a fuss.
LOL A female friend and I were talking about this and how men can effectively tune women out, especially those of use whom were married. Men are selective listeners. If a woman talks and doesn't seem to be getting to the point of a conversation, a man's brain will lose interest and focus on something else...ooo, squirrel!
Those women were taught or programmed/adopted that way, but naturally are female under pressure or conflict situations, similarly for men, they were neutralized .
Most important thing is to adapt to other persons, rather than genders :P
I think these concepts are based in psychological concepts and may not be a specific rule that applies in every situation. I think as a girl, it's tough to answer questions directly, but I agree that most men do respond better to that sort of direct non-elaborate approach.
so true
Very interesting. One might also call female communication "open-ended," with males, "closed." Her example, however, was NOT shopping for a black dress, it was BROWSING for whatever struck her fancy. Big difference. Clarification in advance really helps.
You are so smart👍🏿💕💁🏽
why don't you go to a comic con and see how 'linear' those men are
@DarthYuYevon women can have more or less male abilities to communicate, compare a female CEO to a female Playboybunny. it is the same thing with men, they have more or less female communicative abilities, compare a gay stylist with a CEO. Our brains and therefore communicative skills and overall design differs because of a hormonical difference and impact on our DNA resulting in a certain gender. But the chemical levels also differ within the sexgroup from person to person.
How many men and women have you met? Were they random? Did you do a scientific/statistical study on it? She (and no one ever) didn't say EVERY woman and man think like this. This was based on statistics and studies. They don't just come up with random assumptions. So on average, this is how men and women think.
The suggestion that men are "linear" and women are "circular" communicators is appallingly simplistic. By this definition, I am a man. I am direct, straightforward, and prefer clear "linear" answers to questions and directives. This is not a gender-specific binary, it is my preference for no-nonsense communication in an expedient workplace. This commentary sounds more like a biased examination of how women communicate wrong. So the example she provides where she answered her colleague as he would wish it solves the communication problem? Soooo...when men are irritated by our "circular" response, be more direct to make them feel better? Nonsense. IF she wishes to present an unbiased communication strategy, it would be that men and women both recognize the need for opportunities of detail and opportunities of direct speech. Both are necessary in the workplace. And the pairing of "linear" versus "circular" is not presented without bias. She must have been speaking to a male audience, otherwise she wouldn't have lauded how "the men in the room" were frustrated. Perhaps the "men in the room" need to learn to pay attention to details, and provide opportunities for nonlinear expressions. And vice versa that directness is not a male strategy, but one born of efficiency.
Your reply is a classic example of this very thing lol you went on and on and on...
Yes goal seeker!!!.......
But still never got girlfriend........
