Why husbands may find it difficult to listen to women

Whether he's a boyfriend, a brother or a friend, we all know a guy who's a bad “listener” And no, it's not because they're bored.

Indeed, there are studies showing that there are several reasons why men may have “problems” in this area. It seems that in many cases, the male brain simply listens differently to the woman's voice.

Below, find some facts about the male brain and their hearing abilities:

Female voices make the body of men work harder

One study reveals that men react differently to feminine voices. Men have less activity in parts of their brain when other men speak.

In fact, the man's brain had to work harder to get “defined” and understand what women were saying. This means that husbands may find it harder to understand what women try to say.

Women's voices are more complex

The difference between women and men's voices is essential in this regard:

When women speak, they use many more sounds than men and tend to speak in a more melodious way. These two factors may make it complicated for a man's brain to understand quickly what women say, since there is more to decipher.

A myth: Women talk more!

Stereotype that women speak more than men is an urban myth, according to one study. In fact, it seems that men and women speak roughly the same amount, and the context is equally important. The study showed that in some circumstances men spoke more than women, and in others, women more than men. So maybe it's time we let this stereotype go.
