We have heard about the theories that men are from Mars and women are from Venus and how the general differences over all affect the communication processes and change the dynamics of conversation.
Recently, a bright student from the University of Colorado mentioned to our think that that the levels of hormones in the body vary greatly from male and female humans and thus they do not perceive the “communication experience” in the same way.
Well that is an interesting comment indeed. Yes, one would think and it seems to be a truism that men and women communicate differently. Of course you know some say that the difference between a given man and a given woman is less than the total difference of ALL MEN or ALL WOMEN? So that is also an interesting thing.
Sometimes we have found that men and women attack a problem or problem solve differently, yet in the end come to the same over all conclusion, they just get there different ways, which indeed brings on another debate? Should humans agree to disagree on the means and work towards the ends that everyone could or should rationally agree upon. I find those debates rather interesting too.
The Colorado Student also suggested that “It seems to me that men just don’t get as physically excited during the communication process.”
Once again, a very interesting point here is made and so maybe it depends more on the subject matter? We are not sure why a woman would necessarily get physically excited over mere communication? But, depending on how the brains are wired and remember there is a little difference of ratios of white-to-gray matter between average males or average females. Now then this hormonal thing is worthy of mention, provided either party of a conversation has their bodies working right (correctly) and that their brains are actually turned on.
Wouldn’t you also suppose that some conversation and communication is simply “Bla” and therefore no one can get physically excited about it? I mean “what do you think of the garbage service in this neighborhood?” See what I mean? Well, I hope this subject matter provides you with some intellectual thought in 2007.
