Nader discovered 41 months ago- Misunderstandings between men and women

- Very good and accurate. Is definetly the "communication" barrier that many experience. What is said/meant and what is perceived are very different.

- Deborah Tannen[author]: condensed version of different ways the sexes tend to communicate; interesting to consider. From the page: "A married couple was in a car when the wife turned to her husband and asked, "Would you like to stop for a coffee?" "No, thanks," he answered truthfully. So they didn't stop. The result? The wife, who had indeed wanted to stop, became annoyed because she felt her preference had not been considered. So perhaps he could have said "Not really, do you want to?" or she could have said "I'd like to stop soon for a coffee, how about you?"

- From the page: "A married couple was in a car when the wife turned to her husband and asked, "Would you like to stop for a coffee?" "No, thanks," he answered truthfully. So they didn't stop. The result? The wife, who had indeed wanted to stop, became annoyed because she felt her preference had not been considered. The husband, seeing his wife was angry, became frustrated. Why didn't she just say what she wanted? Unfortunately, he failed to see that his wife was asking the question not to get an instant decision, but to begin a negotiation. And the woman didn't realize that when her husband said no, he was just expressing his preference, not making a ruling. When a man and woman interpret the same interchange in such conflicting ways, it's no wonder they can find themselves leveling angry charges of selfishness and obstinacy at each other."

- Nobody cares about your opinion on this crap. What are your credentials? Is this just your opinion? then I really don't care.

- You say Tomato... I hear Orange. The differences in how men and women communicate and interpret.
