I do agree that men and
women use language differently in most cases. However, as with most things
there are exceptions. The largest difference in how men and women communicate
seems to be in regards to emotions. Women tend to communicate on a more
emotional and personal level than men. I’m not just referring to discussing how
we feel about relationships or things of that nature but also when it comes to
everyday tasks. I notice this a lot when it comes to discussions between me and
my husband. He has a tendency to be much more straightforward and logical in
his view of things than I am. It’s not to say that I’m illogical or that he is
unemotional as that is far from the truth. Where I notice the difference is in
where we tend to focus our thoughts. The best example I can think of is when a
remark is made we both process it differently. He is normally more interested
in what the remark is in regards to and I find that I tend to focus on why the
remark was made.
I agree with you especially on the fact that men are more logical thinkers, and that as women we are more emotional. I think a good example is the fact that men tend to communicate with eachother differently then how women communicate with each other. Men are often talking about sports and things they are interested in, where as Women we are more personal and like to talk about feelings and relationships.
