Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps《给女人的几点建

Useful tips on tackling men:

If you are presenting an idea to a mixed group of men and women it's safer to use a male speaking structure to make your points. Both sexes can follow 'man-talk' but men have difficulty following a woman's multitracked conversations and can quickly lose interest.

The first rule of talking to a man: Keep it simple! Give him only one thing at a time to think about.

In order to make the most impact on a man tell him what you want to talk about and when. For example: 'I'd like to talk with you about how to handle a problem I have with my boss at work. Would after dinner at seven o'clock be a good time for you to talk me through it?'

For businesswomen there is money in The Grunt. If you're a woman explaining an idea or proposition to a man or men it is vital that when a man is speaking having his turn you do not feed back his emotions as you would with a woman. Just sit there expressionless nod grunt and don't interrupt. We have found that women who use this technique score big points on the credibility scale from men. Women who feed back men's emotions (or what they think the men's emotions might be) are heavily marked down on credibility and authority and are sometimes described by men as 'dizzy' or 'too emotional'!

How to Get a Man to Listen：

Make a time give him an agenda announce a time limit and tell him you don't want solutions or plans of action. Say 'I'd like to talk with you about my day Allan. Would after dinner be OK? I don't need any solutions to problems - I'd just like you to listen. ' Most men will agree to a request like this because it has a time a place and an objective - all the things that appeal to the male brain. And he is not expected to do any work.

It is important to know that studies constantly show that in business a woman with a deeper voice is considered more intelligent authoritative and credible. It is possible to practice a deeper voice by lowering the chin and speaking in a slower more monotone way. In attempting to gain authority many women mistakenly raise their voice which gives the impression that they are aggressive.

A woman leaves a man not because she is unhappy with what he can provide but because she is emotionally unfulfilled.

To prove his love for her he climbed the highest mountain swam the deepest ocean and crossed the widest desert. But she left him - he was never home.
