Humanizing Communication Among Men And Women
Author: Joseph Plazo  | Posted: 19-12-2006 | Comments: 0 | Views: 199 | Rating: (53)  (?) 
Once young boys cuss and spew foul language, their deeds are often tolerated as typical for their age. We take for granted that they are aiming to act big. Grown men flavor their vocabulary with sporadic profanity and it is customarily acceptable. On the flip side, female actions are anticipated to be more reserved than their male counterparts. This completely influences the interaction of both females and males. At work, we often find ourselves at loggerheads.
Now, whether male/female disparity stem from genetic framework, sway from parents, or cultural habituation by society, the fact is that we are dissimilar. We perform differently. We converse differently. Men frequently assume a direct, vigorous manner of communicating, while women typically adopt a quieter, more tentative, questioning approach. The result of these differing uses of language often leads to misunderstandings. One way we can begin to breach the communication rift is by accepting and validating these male and female differences.
The first step toward superior communication is to recognize our differences. Different does not mean wrong. Men tend to identify themselves through their accomplishments. They love to control things on their own. So at work, if a woman intimates to a man that he could employ some help, he may feel she believes he is inept or, worse, bungling.
Women identify who they are generally through the connectedness of their associations and through feelings. Reorder the above situation, and the woman may not as likely take affront at the proposition. A great deal of our business communication is built upon the elucidation of the male and female listener. Words are only as practical as the way they are heard and comprehended.
The second step is to study the system of communication. We follow rules for virtually everything we do. As we engage in sports, we play by the rulebook; as we drive, we pursue the policies of safe driving, when we take part in games, we play according to the guidelines. Master the rules that men pursue when they commune. Endeavor to recognize the rules women also instinctively follow for winning communication.
Realize that for communication between men and women to be effectual, we must distinguish the dissimilarity between male and female communication approaches. Both sexes, at home or in the workplace, whether speaking or listening, employ communication methods intended to meet their primary communication needs.
Men need to feel honored, to feel well-liked, to feel cherished, to feel accepted of, and to feel trusted. On the flip side, women need to feel confirm, to feel respected, to feel understood, to feel at peace, and to feel loved.

I don't know what to do! Insecurites suck!
By: Courtwizzle19 | 11-09-2008
Okay, so I can't help but think my boyfriend is going to cheat on me! And in all reality, there is absolutly NO reason for me to be feeling that way. He has never done it before, and he always tells me how much he loves me and how I am the best thing that has ever happened to him, and he wants to be with me forever, and there is even talk of starting a family one day. There is so much background here that, its going to take a good couple minutes to explain... First.. a little about me....
Within the last 2 years I have gone through a huge transformation, I have shed about 200 pounds. (boyfriend came after the weight loss) So my self esteem, and self confidence is still struggling. I am still a thick girl for sure, so I still have self image problems...but I know I look a hundred times better.
Also, I think I might have some sort of abandonment issues, Dad left when I was 10, and chose drugs over his family...And it hit me harder then anyone cause I was the closest to him...
So anyways...this guy is a cool good looking nice outgoing person, and I am always thinking, why is he with me!? That sounds absolutely horrible, but I am just expressing exactly what feelings I get. I tell myself all the time, that I am wonderful and I have a great heart, and Im a pretty girl, and blah blah blah, but I still have this horrible insecurity. I work evenings, so whenever he goes out I meet him after work, but its late and he has already been out, and the whole time before I get off I a thinking "omg what is he doing?" and I have these HORRIBLE unnecessary mental images of him making out, or spitting game, or whatever. And Its soooooo horrible and rediculous!!
Now, here is where he IS wrong....he has told me in the past how he cheated on his ex when he was a lot younger...he promises he would never do that to me, and I mean way more then she ever did...but I have always thought, once a cheater, always a cheater, but that was like 5 years ago...so when he told me that it just added more fuel to my fire of insecurities and horrible thoughts.
He really has given me no reason to feel this way, I even went as far as to look through his phone!!!! I WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!! Im not a weird possesive girlfriend...I would never do that. But this guys is just such an great catch, and I am so scared to loose him. I feel like im putting to much thought into this and I am almost loosing myself. HELLPP! :( I don't want to feel this way anymore!
Also, he has this best friend, who is a total DOGG! He cheats on his girlfriend all the time. And I feel like he might drag my boyfriend into it too. They always go out with one another, and he always says "come on dude lets go holler at some girls" How inconsiderate! My boyfriend just laughs and rolls his eyes. He says he could never influence him to do anything, but it makes me so nervous, cause they always hang out! Maybe that has something to do with my issues!
A senior and a freshmen dating
By: Megan | 11-09-2008
Im a freshmen in high school, and i really like this senior. He's a virgin, he goes to church, and he doesn't do any drugs or anything like that. Me and him have one class together and I just made the school play, and he promised if i made it he would be a 'techie'. So we're going to spend a lot of time together, and we hang out anyways. I really want to date him, and i know my parents wouldn't approve..so we would just keep them thinking that we're only friends. Yes, i know that can get me into trouble..and not just with them, but me and this guy only hang out when we're with other people. So nothing would happen, and he knows that. Anyways, please let me know what you think. This could be a really good relationship, i just need some opinions. Thanks.
