I think the boundaries are much more blurred these days. Both men and women are generally much freeer to take up the roles, style, etc that they want to rather than being defined by their gender.\n\nYou have the right approach, to treat people on their merits, but there are still some cultures and institutions where gender bias exists. Women still get paid less on average than their male equivalents. Society as a whole still sees childcare as a more female than male role; so some employers see women as less reliable employees because of that, while some male employees find it harder to get support from their employers for their role as parents.\n\nThere are ways in which men and women do tend to differ, although it's not true of every individual man or woman. Women tend to have better verbal skills and be more empathetic. That's not better or worse than men, but it can make women more naturally suited for the jobs of the 21st century when communication is more important than physical strength. \n\nUnfortunately I think we still judge women more harshly than men on things like appearance and behaviour. There still seems to be an attitude that it is a woman's wider duty to those around her to look attractive & please other people, which does not apply as much to men.

How about talking to each other?

i think its bcz women dont really often show their feelings, they dont say what they feel, they can play with themselves e.g. to get someone else's attention, could be a man, but what they really feel is hidden deeply in their mind or soul.\nmen arent like that. it is easy to 'read' most of the men, i guess. \nmen tend to think or say things the way there are or the way they think. that makes it easy to understand them.\nwomen wont talk about things straight.\n\nmy math's teacher told us one day: when a woman says yes - that means no, when she says no - that means yes.\n\ni believe its true, though not always.\nthats why it might be difficult to understand women, what they need, what they think off.\n\nthough there are men who can do that...\n\nbut, on the other hand, i believe, and only if u want to, u can try to learn understand woman.\nits gonna take time & effort but it is possible.

Many men do not have social skills enough to open up in conversation.  They keep a lot of things inside and women talk too much....)(

partially, men are just not in tune with women a lot of the time.  If it is sexually, I am so sorry dude, keep trying!

Women aren't aliens - they are regular people.  When you talk to a woman just picture her as a regular person who you want to get to know better as a friend.  Maybe you are getting nervous talking to women because you are thinking of them as potential dates.  Think of them as potential friends and just be yourself.

It's because women are so much more emotional than men and for some reason we sometimes like to know if our man is thinking something good (or bad) about us. I know it probably gets annoying to men, but just have patience. Women are just wired differently than men, emotionally. And we feel the need to do things sometimes that feel perfectly normal to us but seem silly to men.

This. Is. A. No-brainer.\n\nGirls definitely have it harder in numerous ways. \n1) They have to go through certain times of the month which are painful, annoying, and just urrggh! \n2) They have to go through nine months of physical struggle and childbirth. \n3) In most societies, women are the ones who take care of children, the house, and everyone's lifestyle. This means doing most of the chores, cooking, cleaning, groceries.\n4) We are definitely urged by the media and our peers to always look our best. "Looking our best" can be such a hassle. It's  not fair that we have to shave, wax, do eyebrows, and be conscious of every single body part, while men are just happily sitting admiring. \n5) Also to point out to someone's above post that men work their butts off while women are just sitting around, I would like to say that there are SO many women out there who juggle a career as well as a family. It is very difficult for them (I know, seeing my mom) and if they have a lazy husband, that is only worse. \n6) Which brings me to my next point - I think that (some) girls have been brought up to comply with whatever is ordered, and when they are ordered, they are still very compliant and meek. Some cannot stand up to their own husbands. That's another neg. about girls, sometimes we're not as tough.\n\nI think it's very sad.

Because we (husbands) are basically different life forms. I agree with other anwers that you should talk and communicate more, but remember, what you are saying and what he is hearing are often two very different things (and vice versa). My wife and I find it very helpful to tell the other person what we just heard, i.e. "you are feeling..." "you think I"... more often than not we disocver that we were having two very different expereinces.  I don't know if this is gender related, person related or what, but that is what works for us.  I also think it is great to be with someone you don't completely understand, if I knew everything there was to know about my wife it would boring..

One reason it is hard is because there is often a biological factor too it, similar to depression.  a therapist once had me go to the mall and just walk around and make eye contact and say hello to EVERYONE I walked past.  i thought they'd think I was nuts, and some probably did... but people smiled and said hello... sometimes i could have sworn that it made their day.  But the thing I learned is... I didnt have heart attack and die!  even when I was ignored, or someone told me off, I lived.

Yes. Women tend to be better at diplomacy than men. I think Women want to hear all sides and are better listeners.  I think they stive for peace moreso than men.

Heavens, no.  Talk to anyone at "Good Vibrations."\n\nIt's just a bit more, shall we say, "outward" with men than with women.

Hate to say it, but there are just as many guys who say that about women. Man and women have alot of differences. The only way to help with that is clear communication, and try not to have to many unreal expectations. I mean this for both men and women. Hope that helps.

Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus, suggests that men and women communicate in such different ways that they seem to be from different planets. Men use communication to maintain independence, while women talk to maintain intimacy. Whether conscious or unconscious, men often talk to establish status from others. Women use words to connect themselves emotionally, to express feelings, or build rapport. Men often share facts and figures, as if in a report. \n\nYou can read more on this through the link given below. Thanks for the question, i could have a peek too into how men and women differ in communication.
