Are Women Truly Talking Machines?

It is a known fact that women on average tend to live longer than men, the reason being that women are good at coping up with stress and venting out their anger, which ultimately falls on the men. This is also one of the reasons that more men end up having heart attacks. Men would act like an ostrich when dealing with a problem or an issue; to them the solution is to keep themselves busy by watching television, watering the garden, surfing the net or constructing a model ship. By concentrating on one thing at a time other than his problem, a man can forget about the entire issue at hand. A man who does not keep himself preoccupied will end up sitting in a quiet, dark room thinking of a solution to his problem. As men do not feel comfortable sharing their problems or insecurities it all leads to stress being internalized and thus causing illness like diarrhea, constipation, headache or a heart attack – hopefully not all at the same time.

Women are already known for talking a lot, so when dealing with stress, the tradition of talking continues. They do not feel satisfied until and unless the whole world does not listen to their sad tragic story and issues. They dissect the problem completely from all angles; they talk back and forth over and over again about the problem without thinking or reaching a solution. Women will make your life miserable if you don’t listen to what they are going through and that too, over and over again. If a man dares to tell his wife that I have heard of it more than once now, he simply asks for more trouble, because women tend to create another issue out of it and that is “you don’t care about me”, “you can at least listen to what I am going through if you can’t help me with it”  and so that one little issue that the lady was going through, makes the life of the poor man horrible just because he didn’t have the stamina to listen to the issue more than ten times.

Women are of the faith that talking out problems makes things smooth and peaceful, whereas men think that talking usually makes things far worse. Women can stay up all night and talk about a problem or fight that she had with her husband and go round and round in circles and feel satisfied that she is trying to smoothen things up. Men are more likely to recoil, they will prefer to have an argument only once and then let go of it and forget it. Men’s brains are configured for problem solving. Most men will talk only if they have to say something, on the other hand women talk to create and strengthen bonds.

To fix things up, men should give in and let their partner talk as much as they want to about a problem because listening with compassion will make them feel that you are there to listen to her and help her fix the problem. Someone once truly said, “Women use silence to punish men. But men love silence”
