Communication is KEY!!

I was in English class yesterday and we were going over an essay called "Sex, Lies and Conversation". At first I was pretty excited to read i because, like a normal teenager, I was under the impresion that it was about exactly what the title says. Unfortunately, it was not. But after reading it, it turned out to be very interesting. It discusses the different styles of communication of men, women, boys, and girls. There was an example whereby a guy always lay on the floor and put his hands over his eyes whenever his girlfriend said she wanted to talk. Being a female, I can understand why she felt offended. We chicas would assume that he was trying to block us out. But w never sem to realize that its just the way men communicate. They use different body language, different affirmation, etc. For example, when females talk, we ugre each other by saying "hmmm, yes girl, oh hell" and so on.  But when we talk to males, they don't respond in the same way. They simply sit there and say nothing. Lades, its not that he is ignoring you. It's just that he's giving you his full attention. He hands you the mic and try not to talk so they don't interrupt. I think it's really cute. lol. On the other hand, women just complicate things. When their guys are talking to them on a serious level, women always want to be butting in and asking questions in between. Guys hate that! WE should just shut the hell up and listen! :-P But really chicas. Both sexes communicate differently. We need to understand that and we can't pressure men to conform. Try it and you'll notice that eventually, they'll simply give in to the way we do things. :-). After all, communication is the key to successful relationships!!
