This should stir up some folks a bit. ;)

Uh-Oh!

After 26 years of marriage, I have the educational background to know that this is a subject best left alone.

[2ndDivisionVet]

They had to do a study to figure this out? [ducking head]
LOL

[valkyry1]

Sounds like they grossly underestimate women.

[ChicagahAl]

I want to see the study that discloses the percentage of women who can communicate clearly and concisely.

Never mind. I already know.

[Slings and Arrows]

Self-ping.

Not much we can say when it’s straight from the women themselves....except that maybe the men weren’t wanting to fess up to listening to gossip and eavesdropping. I know a few men who are more like old women than the old women I know!

People hear what/when they are engrossed with the topic.

It's not the gossip per se, but the fact that one is interested in the topic.

As a man thinketh, so is he.

I’ve been married for 28 years so I could have told you that without reading this article.

And can you believe they have the right to vote?

Men and Listening...

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday.
'I'd love to be eight again' she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he arose early and made her a bowl of
Coco Pops and jammy toasties!

He took her to Alton Towers and put her on every ride in the park:
* The Death Slide
* The Wall of Fear
* The Screaming Monster Roller Coaster

Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was
reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away they journeyed to a
McDonalds where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra
fries and a refreshing chocolate milk shake. Then it was off to the
movies: the latest Kiddies three hour epic cartoon, a hot dog, popcorn,
all the Coke she could drink, her favorite lolly and M&Ms. What a
fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed onto the bed
exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and
lovingly asked 'Well dear, what was it like being eight again?' Her eyes
slowly opened and her expression changed to one of total
realization...'I meant my dress size!!!!!!!!!!'

The moral of this story:
Even when a man is listening, he's still gonna get it wrong.

My hearing is bad, and I miss a lot of what my wife says because of it. However, when she starts to mention anything that I think is stupid, and that’s a lot of stuff, I know my brain just tunes that crap out.

Women, if you want someone to listen, don’t talk about stupid crap. That is all.

[Smokin' Joe]

Women only really hear properly when they are gossiping or eavesdropping on other people's conversations...

Well, that explains the phenomenon of some women not having heard the precise explanation of how not to use a power tool while standing next to them, but hearing the grumbling muttered (after they do)under one's breath in perfect detail and clarity, even if the mutterer is out in the detached workshop with the circular saw running...

[Freedom2specul8]

Blah, blah Blah
That’s what I read when I heard this article. ;-)

[cyborg]

I’m a nurse at an old folks home and I can say that dropping a piece of gossip is like throwing meat to lions :D
