Men and women are different in a lot of ways. Their form of communication being one of the major differences. The two look and perceive the same things differently. Many academics have tried to answer these difference and their causes but nothing can be certain as these traits vary from person to person.
"According to Doctor John Gray, author of the bestselling relationship book “Men are from Mars, Women Are From Venus”, women, being more relationship oriented, are more apt to express their feelings through words. Men express their feelings through actions.” Men have throughout the ages been more action driven while women more so through sharing feelings. Let us take an example. In a break up a guy usually hits the bar with his friends and gets drunk while the girl talks about her feelings with her friends. Words versus action.
"Women speak twice as much words as men do. With a caution flag extended toward stereotyping, it’s been noted in these studies that women like to talk things out, while men want to solve the problem and move on. When making an apology, men think that’s the end of it, while women often see this as the beginning of a discussion. (Arnold, 2016)"This shows how women thinking differ from men’s. They prefer a more detailed and elongated conversation to get to the bottom of things while men prefer to get it over with. This practice can be seen most commonly while shopping as well, where women are more particular to the things they buy where as men just want it over with.
Another interesting fact is the investment in money. Women tend to invest more conservatively than men. (Bajtelsmit & Bernasek, 1996) There is difference is the way both genders perceive risk. Women are more averse to risk than men.
It is however important to note that we are talking about human behavior and so it is difficult to generalize everyone under these headings. Stereotyping would be assuming something that may not be true. Never the less these are some familiar behaviors seen between the genders which are the leading cause for the difference in communication between genders.
