Why Men Don't Listen to Women

To kill time while waiting for my sister's interview (she's applying to transfer to geog in UP), I browsed through the Geog 1 projects scattered in front of some professor's faculty room. And, I found some interesting material included in one of them. A study by the University of Sheffield in U.K. apparently conducted a study on the reason behind men's difficulty with listening to women. The reason, as it turns out, is because of difference in brain functions.

Yeah, it is confirmed. Iba nga talaga ang takbo ng utak ng mga lalake sa mga babae. It is in the male's manner of processing the sound of the woman's voice. Men process it in the auditory section of the brain, the part where music is processed. They say this is so because women's voice has a melodic quality to it, similar to music. Men are attracted to that sound (because it's pretty, hehe) but it is harder for them to understand what the sound means because of its complexity, or something like that. And that is why men usually have a hard time understanding and communicating with women. In fairness, there is actually a scientific explanation to that, haha.

In short, men are generally slower than women. It's not their fault they're built that way so women, don't be too hard on them. Hehehe... ;p
