Women are necessarily better listeners then men; they have their own perspective views on it. They tend talk and start rambling about the subject. For some reason their outlook on things is more sensitive compared to men. Most women just want to hear the answer that’s already in their heads. They like to not tell the whole truth, but a skim of the truth so they don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Men have little to say, and it’s hard for guys to read in between the lines. Women want men to hear good things about the subject that’s spoken and well men aren’t going to do that. Men then regret what they said and have to make it up by giving flowers or comforting them to ease the pain that they weren’t listening in the first place. Women really aren’t better nor worse listeners, just show more compassion for the person talking. Women can also be listening while thinking about doing something else like if they should get their nails done today, because anyone can just say “yes”, “uh-huh”, and “yeah” while listening. Women seem like better listeners because they tend to not be thinking about other things like most men because a lot of men like can only do 1 thing at a time. Women also know how to end conversation better than men because they know how to deal with people talking because they do it so much themselves.
