““There’s no horse?” says Fred.”

My frequent comment, with deep enunciation: “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

LOL

Yeah...I had seen this earlier and mailed out the original to few people, including the wife who complains about me “not listening to her.” I look forward to hearing what she has to say about it (that is, if I can concentrate and there’s no ball game on).

But thanks for the ping...we men need to file this one away for easy access.

Funny, I’ve read that the recordings in aircraft cockpits are female because the female voice gets the [male] pilot’s attention. Both of these findings can’t be right.

Funny. I recall a study that shows the exact opposite.

IIRC recall the military, esp. the Air Force when over to female voices for warnings, etc., because that was more likely to get the pilot’s attention than a male voice.

Anecdotally, I set my Kindle to read text to me in a female voice, and I prefer female vocalists.

I call BS on the study.

Ya know, sometimes there just isn’t time for “honest validation”. The validation should be obvious, and circumstantial urgency means we have to SOLVE the issue NOW, not sit around satiating a desire to be heard. Yes, I understand you knocked over the lit candle because you were trying to X Y Z and P D Q, no I’m not mad at you about it, WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE CELL PHONE IS SO I CAN CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT?

Thinking it was longer than I wanted to read right now,I passed over your post twice.

THEN, I read it. OMG am I glad I read it. I laughed so hard that I have tears in my eyes.

I sent it to my wife at her office..... We have been together for nearly 40 years, so I don’t think she will come home to talk about a horse, more likely... an ass. LOL

imho

Women need attentive understanding and affectionate Love.

Men need respect to be a major component of the love they receive.

Well that's simple enough to fix. You just have to actually be right. When you start making it to that level, you'll hear those three magic words; "You finally understand!"

There are a lot of female voices that are difficult for me to listen to — and I am a woman.

We used to joke about me being

“on automatic unhunh mode.”

Particularly when exhausted/sleepy.

Yes, you nailed it! It is a Garmin. I switched it to German, female Steffi, once, just for laughs. Nothing like being yelled at in 40 other languages.

I don’t use many curse words but “she” can certainly raise my hackles. LOL

Actually males hear females quite well when they say the right words..

The husband misses some of what I say, but he always hears me when I say, “Your supper is ready.”

My husband hears me. He doesn't LISTEN. Minutes after I've told him something, he's asking me the question I've already answered.

He also ignores answering a question. Drives him crazy when I return the favor.

Can’t explain the woman thing-other than they need to change their perspective as to how truly important they think every jewel is that rolls out of their mouth.


It’s a constant test.

Particularly for the ATTACHMENT DISORDERED woman . . . with great degrees of poor self-esteem; worthlessness, doubts etc.

It’s a constant test to see how much blather the man will endure as an affirming statement about her worth.

Females have voices? Is that what that sound is?

Maybe it’s different when a man is by himself or in male-only company and a female voice is heard vs when males are in the actual presence of a female.

Just a wild guess.

“Then why do they use simulated female voices in cockpit warnings?”

Probably because those voices sound like mommy, talk sufficiently like a man, or something.
