Communication Amongst Genders


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.

  1. 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.
