Men vs. Women

The easiest way to break this down is this.

Men talk more than women.This is false they talk just as much. Men seem to talk when they are interested. The problem seems to be men and women are interested in different things. Women like to talk about their relationships and things that revolve around them. Men like to talk about things not related to them such as sports.

Men are more likely to interrupt women than to interrupt other men. In some ways this could be true. Again depending on the circumstance this could change. This could be partly because men find it hard to follow what women are saying. It is not that they do not listen but while they are men are picking and choosing the information therefor getting lost and interrupting women to have them start over.

During conversations, women spend more time looking at their partner than men do. This one could be true or false. I feel if this was completely true then men would not have a problem talking on the phone. Women would be the ones against it because they can not see the other person.

Female managers communicate more emotional openness and drama than male managers. In all of my experience male managers get down to the point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A-Z5sRwgLMJust give them the facts. Female managers let their emotions take control of themselves. Still this would be false because female managers keep it bottled up and use it to get back at whoever was bothering them later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjRorsUKGwY&feature=related

Men not only control the content of conversations, they also work harder in keeping the conversations going. Do men like to control the conversation? Not really, but they do take control as to when the conversation ends. They do not try to keep the conversation going they try to solve the issue. If there is not a problem they like to get down to the point of the conversation in a timely manner.


When people here generic words such as "mankind" and "he" they respond inclusively indicating that the terms apply to both sexes. This is true. For the most part people understand that it means everyone not just men. The only people who really ever have a problem with it are those who are looking to fight over every little thing such as the extreme feminist groups.


Women are more likely than men to disclose information about intimate personal information. This is also true. Because society has developed the idea of men must be strong they often have difficulty disclosing information that may cause them to show emotion. Where as in society women are presumed to show a vast array of emotions and are allowed to be more nurturing and compassionate.


Women use less personal space than men. In America greetings between two men are done with a handshake. In France greetings are done with a kiss to the cheek. Where as between different countries it doesn't really differ. Women are more comfortable standing closer to each other. As far as women and men interfering in each others personal space it seems as though it depends on the relationship between the two.


When a male speaks he is listened to closer than a female speaker. Males have historically been the more charismatic speakers such as Mohammad Ali, Dr.MLK Jr., Hitler and many others, because they have always been given positions of power and women have been thought to be the less dominant of the two. Yet in today's society the teaching career has always been a female dominant society. In my opinion I learn much easier from a man.


Women are more likely to answer questions that are not addressed to them. I would have to say this is true. Since women have developed a gossip culture they are more likely to easy drop on conversations not addressed to them. On the other hand men only pay attention to information that pertains to them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0JPZiGInbg
