Men and women generally communicate on different wavelengths because they are wired differently.
Women tend to communicate more indirectly. They expect men to have sixth sense when it comes to understanding them.
Communication between men and women would be better if women could be more direct in their requests and if men took the effort to probe more into their partner's answers rather than taking their replies at face value.
Women hate it when men say …
"We'll talk when you have calmed down" - A woman feels is telling her that she is over-reacting and being unreasonable.
"Look at that pretty girl over there" - Women are born with a natural inclination to be jealous.
"OK, whatever you say" - It drives women mad whenever men say this.
Men hate it when women say …
"We need to talk" - This four words make a grown man sweat.
"You don't understand how I feel" - This will make him angry for accusing him of neglecting her feelings.
"You should know why I am upset" - Women tend to accumulate grievances and then blow up when it reaches a critical point. More often than not, a man really does not know why she is upset.
This is why men and women sometimes don't understand each other.
