I thought about this and it is hard to make any sweeping generalizations. I mean people are people....but lets see
men don't seem to listen very well
men don't seem to listen very well

I disagree.....and it is not solely a male trait......
My kids are young....5, 6 and 10, and every one of them is totally deaf when it comes to hearing things like requsets to do homework, chores, etc......but they can hear the word "chocolate" whispered across the house behind 2 locked doors.
...but kids don't count, they ain't finished cooking yet
Hell,,,,i'm not done cooking yet,either.pieceofmyheart said:

I have a nice little laundry list of examples of Wolf repeatedly ignoring me over the past few years, mostly pertaining to simple shit around the house...But the point still stands, and yes, it IS selective hearing, definately.

Honestly, its not that men dont listen its that women just talk to much. Here is the truth, the majority of men and women dont have that much in common to talk about. So women tend to ramble on about alot of different subjects and how they feel about each one. But honestly , men dont care enough to listen cuz we dont want to hear about feeling, he said she said and all the other things that women ramble on about.
When a guy wants to go out and have a good time out who does he call? His boys. The reason for that is that they have alot in common to talk about and men tend to listen when its a subject that interests them. Most men dont call up a bunch of women to go out with for a good night. Most times a man wants to be around a women its for sex. When a guy wants to talk its with guys. sorry to say.
When my girl comes over after work she will ramble on for about 10-20 minutes and just talk and talk. After a few minutes she asks me if im listening to which i reply " no, youre still talking" its not that i dont like to hear her ttalk, i just dont care to listen about gossip or who said what about whom so i tune it out. She knows to get my attention nudity generally works. Sure this may be rude, but at least im honest enough to put it out there. Most men agree just are scared to say so

Here's my two cents.
Here's my two cents.
I don't think you can give a blanket complaint on either sex... We all come from different backgrounds, brought up differently... which means we all view things differently, interpret things differently... to say things like men don't listen and women talk too much... well I find just as many men that talk too damn much and women that don't listen...
For anyone to speak on behalf of one's gender... telling it like it is really.. it is telling it as YOU see it ... your truth is not everyone's truth.
I find it very, very interesting that more men post here in the women's forum then women......
seems some want to make it a place for the battle of the sexes...

I agree with Nevermind on this one, its not that we don't listen or care to listen or care about what women think is just that most(not all) women tent to give every single detail about everything that has happend, what is going to happen or and what their thinking, and ya'lls opinions on everything. So we try to get the important stuff but decipher the useless details, which as stated is a very diffacult thing to master, little secret we decide whats important by the way you are talking if your all excited than we know " pay attention" if your talking slows we know "unimportant detail, turn ears off" shit like this. Sometime its just too much, more times than not it that men are tired and they want to relax, and women tend to gossip, yep I said it.
IMO we men are like the male lions were lazy unless we just have to do something, we wait for the women to bring home the food, prepare it. We eat and then we sleep, we do this day in and day out. I personally think its a male/female thing like most animals, to me women in general just have more energy than men IMO.
We love you girls though, we just don't have the energy to keep up. Peace

IM that was really funny, i feel like that might have been written about me lol...when i'm ready to get married i think i'm definitely going to marry a woman who's first language is not english...then when she is speaking the accent will grab my attention due to the sexualized nature of foreign accents...it will be harder for her to complain about shit in english as well so that should help with nagging...i would probably go live in her part of the world as well, there is nothing sadder than seeing a once beautiful and unconflicted woman become americanized and dissatisfied with everything...
