Men Talk, Women Listen — Yes, No, Maybe So?

Men are “wired” to talk. Women are “wired” to listen.

You must be logged in to vote:
  1. yes

Is this good? Bad? Is it something we should accept? Change?

Look forward to hearing your ideas! :)

Women are wired to talk and listen.
Men are wired to sit there and think other stuff.

I’m so tired of this men-women debate. Generalising never works, therefore this is pointless.

Not all women listen

No. It a broad generalisation. Most people just talk, not many people listen anymore. Whether you perceive a gender divide, age, IQ level, race, etc, it all comes down to the same thing.

I did not mean to “pwn” you. Just saying it’s getting old.

I think Faust273 pwned you. In the most succinct possible manner summed up a large pool of thought and gave it to you to provide you with an answer for this post and any further post that asks for highly variable situations and focuses on one specific variable.

Yep, it’s a common paradox.

pwn basically means to thoroughly defeat someone. That is the simplest way to put it.

hahaha, who knows how many times i pretend to look interested in what my boyfriend is saying. i think it goes both ways. guys have their interests. they talk about them. women have their interests. they talk about them. every once in a while they listen to each other. ;)
