oh yea... something about listening.
I think we listen very well... its just we don't remember most things unless they pertain to making money , playing sports , sex , or music and sometimes if it has to do with the kids.
problem with women is ... well I think I'll plead the 5th.

Women listen to you when you say to them, "Stuff you lady. Youre not worth worrying about. I'm outa here"
Thats when the women decide you are good enough to sleep with them. Or , far morre acccurately, thats when the womens egos decide that they are more than good enough to sleep with the guy thats dumping them.
Breast enhancment, trendy nightspots, desiginer gear, sleepong around, not sleepign around. Anything to prove that "youre worth it" (Loreal)
And definitely sleeping with the guy who says that "you're not worth it" in order to prove to your ego that you are.
I couldn't think of a worse time or a worse reason for sleeping with a guy. I also know that it's common. | |

You are kidding? Right?
Good listeners.???
Mick Jagger, and numerous other stars routinely meet bed four or five different women in one night. They don't listen to them talk. They simply havent got the time to listen to them and bonk em, and then go on to the next one.
Women seek celiberity men, heroes, hansome princes, anything to brag to the girlfriends about. Andything to make the girlfriends jealous. Good listeners dont' make the girlfriends jealous. | |

Posted: 8/1/2006 11:15:15 AM | I don't listen to alot of women out there. Not all, but a great many, say nothing worth listening to and even more don't know when to shut up.
Too many women corner men and subject them to incessant whining, self pity, anger, irrational logic, emotional kneejerk reactions and plate after plate of piping hot feminist induced bullshit. There is a classification of man who will listen to any woman, any time of the day and completely care about their issues - he's called the guy none of them will sleep with ever. EVER.
Sorry, it's a two way street. If you want men to listen, make sure you have something to offer in what you are saying. | |

Posted: 8/1/2006 11:33:34 AM | I have noticed that as well!!
Alot of them like to wait their turn to speek rather than hear what we have to say!!
The worst is when they try to dump all their emotional crap about their x on you....its like...HELLO....I dont want to hear about your shithead x.!!
Oh and FL......you rock sister | |

Posted: 8/1/2006 11:36:43 AM | | Do women listen to men? What you write seems very one sided - the old fashioned style, "Men, learn how to seduce women: step 1, listen to them, step 2, pleasure them the way they want, ..." Doesn't seem to me to be a very balanced way to begin a relationship, sexual or otherwise. Surely an important part of a conversation is ensuring balanced speaking and listening. | |

Posted: 9/15/2006 2:47:32 AM | Guess I could be the odd one out here; I love to listen to men. That is, the ones with something worthwhile to talk about or at least can make what they are talking about interesting and/or entertaining -- or both! Rarely do I think that he is NOT listening to me as long as he knows that I am interested in what he has to say too.
I think we are missing something very vital here and that is, we can learn from all we meet and the only way to do that is to listen. By listening and then participating (speaking) then that learning process works and a good conversation is born.
Good conversations can happen between two people whether different gender or not, as long as they can listen.

The thing I'm getting at is, Men, you don't Listen. You open your mouth and talk yourself out of a good thing. Throughout my 35 for life yrs I have learn one valuable thing about women, they Love for you to listen to them. I'm not talking about the "yes dear thing". I'm talking about truely listening. A women will tell you everything you need to know if you listen, where to touch, what she likes, how she likes, when she likes. Everything.
Men, what do you think?
Ladies, am I right or wrong?
Sorry 35forlife, but I am gonna start off a lil off topic, but I promise to return. I think you started off on the wrong foot with the title of your thread, and for me anyways, to a degree, it invalidates alot of your good points that follow. This has become a real pet peeve of mine since I started reading these forums a few weeks ago. If nothing else, if people would learn to make one little change in there posting habits, I would die a happy person. You said:
"Men don't listen"
I am sorry but I am really tired of seeing threads that start with:
"Why do men..."
"Are all women...."
Last I checked, short of giving birth to a child, and having multiple orgasms in close proximity to one another, there is nothing a man is capable of, that a woman is not. Men lie/Women lie, Men cheat w/Women. Women listen, and guess what, Men listen too. And the same is true about not listening. So instead of perrenially bashing the opposite sex, or your own, as the case is here, can we please for the love of God, and all that is humanly holy, learn to use the word "People". This behavior you are addressing, is far from gender specific, as are so many others I have read that lead to nothing but gender bashing. /end rant.
Now for your topic. Do Women like to know that we are listening? Um no brainer, yes of course they do. They are very appreciative of the fact that you are listening, when you show that you are, by your ACTIONS, not simply your words. Are you trying to imply in your post that you don't require a woman to listen to you, that it is not neccessary for your happiness, that you have never encountered a Woman who didn't listen? Even something as mundane as a "Yes Dear" can be appreciated by a Woman (or a Man for that matter), if the actions following those words, indicate that you in fact are listening, and not only listening, but doing.
I am sorry my friend, but while your heart is in the right place, you approach was uncalled for. If what your intent was, to openly and honestly discuss an issue that affects both sexes, and in some cases hinders the development of a healthy relationship, I applaud your effort, it is simply your chosen method of delivery I take exception with. In the end (to me anyways) you come across more as "sucking up", than an honest intent. You do not have to bash anyone to make a point, especially your own gender. If I have misjudged you, I apologize, but this is the way it came across to me.
Have fun ;) | |

Some men listen - some don't - some women listen - some don't. It's not that men don't listen - but most women speak in code! Men don't understand code for the most part. Sometimes... eventually... if they really care about someone... they'll make an effort to decipher the code... but mostly, they don't get the code... so if women would speak directly, men would understand. It's all about the code versus plain, simple English!
just my .02 cents worth on another Florida afternoon....

Posted: 9/15/2006 10:36:38 AM | | Well it's said that Women use about 20,000 words a day where as men use 7,000. Basically when we speak to them it needs to be simple and to the point. I'm not saying the don't understand but possibly when we do speak to them we misconstrue things or they think they need to have some kind of indepth sophisticated response? I believe most of them WANT to listen ;) | |
