Is it true that women talk more about feelings? Do boys listen to what girls say? Do men say more tacos and tell more jokes? We tell you what is true of seven topics about difficulties in communication between men and women.
They, more intimate.Scientific studies show that women talk more about feelings and people, while men focus their conversations on objects and activities.
Another longing.Stuttering, which some experts link to excess dopamine in the brain, affects men four times more than women.
Tacos and insults.According to a study done in America, 72% of men say tacos in public, compared to 58% of women. But if insulted, they respond with the sharpest tongue.
Funny guys.They tell more jokes, especially in large groups. Women avoid jokes in the presence of men and prefer to make jokes in petit committee to two or three friends, according to folklore expert Carl Mitchell.
“Yes or yes”.As researchers Maltz and Broker have found, when women say “yes” it usually means “I’m listening,” while men tend to say it only when they agree.
Out of taboos.A study from the University of Pennsylvania reveals that, despite what we tend to think, young women (18-25 years old) tend to talk about sex with their close friends more often than men of the same age.
Men don’t listen.Due to the shape of the female larynx and vocal cords, the female voice is more complex and melodic than the male. That is why, according to Michael Hunter of the University of Sheffield, when men listen to women, areas of the brain that process emotional intonation and musicality are activated, distracting them from the content of the message.
