Pets listen better than husbands !!!

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

RV thats just blatant copying of my clever post :snooty: :zobo:

I know

Women should record what they say and pass us the DVD CD tape etc then we can pause rewind in our free time etc

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

So men don't listen to women because women talk a lot ? Or do men think its not important enough ?

It's neither. It's due to an impairment in the mental faculties within men that hinders comprehension and prevents them from responding appropriately.

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

Women talk a lot namaan

Didnt you read my cup example ? :(

But may be its just that we want a to the point one liner which says it all . For example for your long posts I try to read last para to get all the information . May be impatience or whatever you call it , but I like to the point information .

So do you think this can be a problem ?

So women talk a lot and men don’t wana listen . :hmmm:

Ok give me solution now other than staying quite .

Whatever works for you, Nami. Forget the last paragraph...you can even choose to skip the post altogether. I like to analyze the issue from different points, which is why it's longer.

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

No no men want to listen if its about sports, kya khana hai, about other 'stuff' etc

Our minds were not designed for sudden overload of a sir khana session that women do :(

aww ... ghusa na kiya karian ... But no I do skim it through but I am always looking for that last bit of synopsis to get the whole point . May be thats what husbands looking for too . U know one small paragraph that can say it all .

What? LOL, I wasn't angry. You're the one who asked "So do you think this can be a problem?" I though you were referring to the skimming and I just said that it wouldn't be a problem for me if you were to skip the post entirely. Do what works for you.

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

^ and how you will relate it to the topic of this thread or was it a practical demonstration ? :D

A practical demonstration of what Nami? Of my making the previous post a brief one? Hilarious.

In some situations, you do need the patience to listen to the whole story to get a a better understanding. For example, your wife snaps at your mom. Let's say that she ONLY tells you about the current situation. You might even think that she's behaved out of line. Your stern demand for a brief explanation may not give you a clearer picture. What if your wife had been tolerating your mother's snide remarks for months (without complaining to you) and now she finally snapped. Would that now change your perceptions? It possibly can. Sometimes not knowing the whole story can lead to assumptions and misunderstanding which can destroy a relationship. And yes, I know that there are two sides to a story. You can ask the person to sum it up, but also show some patience if they're trying to take the time to support their ideas and claims with examples.

I totally agree with your point of view but why husbands avoid it ? Are they not interested or may be too tired or don't care or have other better things to do ? . . . u know if women are saying that their husbands are not listening then there must be something more to it .

The main argument in question is if it is a fault on husband's behalf or wife's ?

It depends upon several factors. For example, if it’s an argument between a wife and MIL, then husband may not want to get involved because it’s a sticky situation for him. If he defends one, he risks hurting the other.

It could even be an ego issue. Some men (even women) can’t bear to acknowledge let alone reflect over their mistakes.

It could be the approach of the woman/person in general. If you start of a “discussion” by yelling, ridiculing, accusing…you’re more likely to turn the other person off to the point that they may ignore you.

Timing plays a role as well. Starting a serious discussion with someone when they’ve just come back tired from a long day at work…or perhaps when they’re ill is not practical.

It could be the other person is consistently negative (always complaining) and never looking at the positive or giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Their negativity takes a toll on you and drains you of energy as well, so you don’t feel like listening to them.

Could even be the way that men and women are biologically wired. I once read on of the AOL news channels that men and women use their brains differently. I vaguely remember that both genders vary in how much of their brain is used various activities…including relationship conflicts. Something about how the right side of the brain deals with emotion and since men receive less blood flow in that side…they process the “emotional” aspects of relationships differently. Don’t quote me on this…because I don’t remember all the details. Here’s another article: News Articles - FindArticles

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

Duh. Men are the obviously more evolved form of life. Thus they know when its time to leave and be more productive.

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

^ :cb: . . . wait and see a gang coming up and beat u up for this :smiley:

:rotfl:

Men are halfwits? Apparently, men only use half their brain to listen whereas women use both sides (this is taken from an actual study).

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

Factually impossible. If that was the case men would not to be physically talk or move.

Re: Pets listen better than husbands !!!

Anyway, what can be more productive than listening to a woman ??..most posters on here are women and although you can’t listen to what they would say in real life. Their answers are much more productive than the men on here lol (excluding D6C, TLK and a few others obviously)

Use of brain would depend on how much blood is available to the brain at that time. Blood supply to the brain will vary depending on who they are conversing with.
