Let's first consider these three differences in communication traits between men and women:
Women are far better communicators than men - from the shades of meaning they use and choice of words to the understanding of emotions and nonverbal gestures.
Men speak to the point and try to make it quick; women include every detail and tend to make it lengthy.
Men communicate to dominate and lead; women communicate to connect and form a group.
On the basis of the above traits, now we can apply the following guidelines in practice and formulate what each should do:
Men:
Give women the space to talk as much as is necessary and make them feel heard and respected. Show genuine interest and ask questions. Oftentimes, by indulging in details, she may not be trying to seem smarter. you can help her by asking her if she can summarize the main message. At the same time, try to read between the lines,. Pay attention to the emotions and non-verbal cues, and revise your responses accordingly.
Women:
Although most men have good intentions, they may see your long and sometimes winding communication as a false alarm. Try to come to a point and convey exactly what you want to be done, Try to help them understand your real intentions. Give men the proper space for their ego and assertiveness, provided they maintain the due respect. In the end, both the parties will win.
