Difference between Men and Women - Communication Styles of Men and Women

 Difference between Men and Women
Communication Styles of Men and Women
By Motivational Speaker in Bihar Patna  Gaya

Men and women are different in many ways and they have distinctly different communication styles. Generally, men are direct and women are indirect. Men are more focused on results and completion, or closure, than women. Women are more concerned about relationships and the process of communication than men. This can often lead to fundamental misunderstandings.

                Take the case of a man and woman who have been driving for 2—3 hours. As they go past a Restaurant, the woman says to Husband, “Dear are you thirsty?” The man without looking around, simply says, No, and continues driving. She bites her lips and feels hurt at his insensitivity. He is blithely unaware of what she was really asking, and he has no idea that she is now unhappy. In her indirect way, she was saying, “I am thirsty, why don’t we stop and get something to drink?” However, because of the way she phrased it, it went over his head completely. He missed the point.

                Another example of this difference in communication style is shopping. For a man, going shopping is a simple process with an expected result. He goes in, he purchases what he came for, and he leaves. Men in general don’t like shopping; they feel uncomfortable doing it and they want to get it over with as quickly as possible. For many women, however, shopping is a process, even a recreational activity.  A woman does not necessarily even have to buy anything.

                Here is another example of this difference in communication styles. Men are oriented toward closure and completion. When a woman begins discussing a problem with him, he will almost immediately respond with what he considers to be a logical solution. He will say, “Why don’t you do this or try that?” He will then go back to reading his newspaper, or turn his attention to something else. He will honestly feel he has been helpful and has properly addressed the issue : her problem. What he does not realise the woman is usually not asking for a solution, nor does she want his advice or his recommendations. What she wants is an opportunity to discuss the situation, to process the problem through a dialogue about it with the man in or not to do. What she seeks is an opportunity to communicate, using this particular situation or problem as the basis for the conversation.

                One of the things that men can do to improve their communications with the women in their lives is simply to refrain from giving advice unless it is clear that this is what she wants. Instead, listen attentively, pause, ask questions, feedback and paraphrase what she is saying to ensure you understand.
