Huh? What did you say?

Sorry... that was the obvious hack gag.

When someone is doing lots of talking, it is hard to listen to every word. I try to catch the big points of what they are saying, and will use these points some time in the future to let them know I heard what they were saying.... Sometimes days or weeks later... Women LOVE that.

Also remember that when most women talk, they want you to listen but not to try and solve all their problems... So really, you just need to let them know you're listening by repeating a few key points... And you really don't have to do much more than that to be a successful communicator in her eyes.

Women have different personality types and needs, but this is the basic info to start with. Figure out who she is and what she is looking for when it comes to communication.... then run with it.

Men and women communicate in different ways. What women really mean is that men have poor women style listening skills.

The secret is nod and act interested for most of the bull**** and only worry about the important bits.

Yes, it's biological.

Long story short: Men are hunters, requires little communication. Women are gatherers, and chit chatted all day about all kinds of shyte while listening for evidence of their younguns in trouble.

Long story short: Focus on what the other person is saying, ask leading questions to get them to offer more information. Forget about wowing them with your own story. Nobody really cares.
