Some days trying to get a point across is like communicating in a foreign language. After all my study and research on the subject, it still amazes me that men communicate better with other men. Some studies have concluded that men use 7000 words per day. Women, on the other hand, use 20,000. And therein lies the issue!
Okay, to be fair, women must be smarter, look at the number of words they use. This is not a knock on women, it’s an observation, not an indictment. By the time the man gets home, he has used up most of his words. Women, not so much. Men do not want to engage in conversation. Women do. Could it be the 13,000-word difference is where the problem with men and women communicating occurs? ( Guys, I know your eye’s just rolled back into your head)
Men just want to get from point a to point b in the shortest amount of time. That is the reason when we start out on a trip we say, “Go to the bathroom before we leave cause we ain’t stopping every hour to pee! Women, take along a 64oz cup of there preferred magic potion that allows them to tolerate us. And sure enough, an hour down the road they have to relieve themselves. “I told you to go before we left.” “I did” “Yeah, but you had to drink 120oz of liquid!” And the fight is on.
Of course, I can say men are simple. After all I are one and I speak Martian. Just draw us a picture and we are fine. I tend to be more literal. I am not sure that is true of all men but when I talk to women that literal frame of mind does get me into trouble. (that and answering a question with a question) And don’t get me started on texting. That form of communication should be banned between the sexes.
I swear that sometimes trying to carry on a conversation with a woman is like trying to understand morse code. Women are the most beautiful creation that God ever created but He should have included a manual with them. The reason He didn’t? Because He knew we would just through it away.
