Men and women communicate extremely different ways. this is probably why there is always tension between the two when they are in need to communicate with each other. A prime example of how men and women are unable to communicate is many women think that when they are talking men are not listening either because they are not making direct eye contact or they don't say anything during the to acknowledge that they understand during the conversation. Boys communicate better by doing thins together and gils by talking and sharing secrets with each other. Many women feel that sharing secrets with one another bonds them together but when sharing them with men, men take it is an invitation to try and help solve the problem rather than to understand and relate to what they are saying.
