Male And Female Communication Different

Woman are more likely to speak to other woman when they have problems or when they need to make a decision of something. However, men more likely to keep their problems to themselves instead of telling other men, and they don'y usually see the point in sharing personal issue. Moreover,women like share experiences and asking lots of questions. But men doesn't. They share experiences as a way of being one-up. They more likely share and give their information rather than asking questions.Women focus on building rapport, by sharing experiences and asking questions. And if once a woman have a disagreement with other, they will hate each other, it really affects all aspects of their relationship. But when men have a disagreement with each other, they will just move on to another subject really quickly and go get a drink together.

Female speakers used more like first person pronouns and fewer third person references than the male speakers. The female speakers used 'hmm' much higher frequency than the male speakers. The female speakers also interrupted each other more. The female conversation seemed more fluent than the other conversations, as measured by number of disfluencies and number of affirmative transitions upon speaker change. All of these differences suggest that this area is a fruitful one for further investigation.

Women desire intimacy in conversation, to feel connected to others.
Men desire to give information while remaining independent of the other party. Women try to avoid the appearance of “superiority.” Men are comfortable telling others what to do and appearing “superior.” Women want to reach consensus and consult with others before deciding. Men want to get straight to the bottom line and choose without consulting. Women communicate to build relationships. Men communicate to give information, solve problems and show expertise. Women use more words to make a point and express more feelings. Men use fewer words and express fewer feelings. Women use conversation to think through a problem and work toward a solution. Men think through a problem privately, then express the solution as the bottom line. Women give feedback with tact, tentativeness and sensitivity to the other person’s feelings. Men give feedback directly and with bluntness, without the intention that it should be taken personally. Women often change the topic in the middle of a conversation, then return to it later. Men tend to finish one topic before going on to the next. Women talk more about relationships. Men talk more about what they did, where they went. Women tend to take verbal rejection more personally than men. Women are more likely than men to ask for help rather than figure things out on their own. Men appear less intuitive and aware of details than women. Women have a more emotional approach to problems. Men have a more analytical approach. Men use fewer voice tones and facial expressions while communicating than women do. Men make more direct statements; there’s less “beating around the bush” with men than with women.

Male will never listen to you when you need to process through an issue It is frustrating when men just want to give you a quick, seemingly impulsive solution and move on to other things. They don't listen to the details in order to help them form the best solution. They immediately jump to the solution without processing through the details, leading to less-than-perfect results, in your opinion. In addition, women dwell on things, hold grudges, and go on and on and on about an issue. You might also wonder how women can do so many things at once without getting overwhelmed and confused.

Male and female speeches have been observed to differ in their form, topic, content, and use. Men may be more  directive, they use more nonstandard forms, talk more about sports, money, and business, and more frequently refer to time, space, quantity, destructive action, perceptual attributes, physical movements, and objects. But women are often more supportive, polite, and expressive, talk more about home and family, and use more words implying feeling, evaluation, interpretation, and psychological state.
