Let's Talk about talking

[AlexandMorgan]

Do you find that in your relationships that communication is taken for granted. Do you ever feel like beating your head into the wall because your partner/friend/family will not listen to what you have to say or take you seriously. The below quote was snatched from the web because i can identify with what is being said. Please note that it is not intended to generalize or make light of men in general with regards to their ability to effectively listen to their partners.

"Some men don't take the time to listen to a woman. Men are action oriented, genetically. Men want to DO something, as opposed to TALK about something. And, therefore, some men have a tendency to want to move a relationship past the talking point.

For women, talking is sometimes foreplay. They may not be aware of it, but having a man talk to them, and listen to them, can actually be a form of sexual intimacy. Some men don't understand that either. If they did, they would realize that just talking, and sharing thoughts with a woman, will get you a lot closer to getting laid than flexing your muscles."

Men and women are inherently different( and yes there are exceptions). For the most part though we just aren't going to be inclined to talk as much as women. It really has little to do with communication because our basis for communication is different. Women tend to communicate more from and emotion based abstract, men tend to communicate more from a fact/action based abstract. The best you can hope for is a mutual understanding that these concepts are different.

If you feel like what you are saying is not being heard perhaps you need to change the method of delivery?

There are times when yes you will take communication with your partner for granted. When this happens this is where things fall apart.

I also agree with the statement that sometimes talking is a type of sexual intimacy. It has to be. One's mind should be stimulated by their partner.

Words are a powerful thing. They can uplift or depress. Communication is vital for any relationship to truly succeed.
