Here in Tennesse, though, people actually wave at each other when you drive by. It's easier to be friendly.<BR/><BR/>dorky dad: I find it to be challenging as well. I think it's easier for me now because I don't have to do it as often as when I was married. I'm hoping I appreciate the different conversational styles more now that I don't have it around as often.Sweet and Saltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468737566372826655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6586072511318243736.post-25608019815495343282007-11-18T21:51:00.000-08:002007-11-18T21:51:00.000-08:00Interesting way to describe the difference.

That is sweet...<BR/><BR/>hmbt: good question, and I wonder if it would change or if men (and women) are "hard wired" to be the way they are. Maybe someone will do a social experiment one day.<BR/><BR/>karen meg: Hey, if your husband is anything like me, I have to work at it, and I'll be the first to admit that sometimes it takes more than I have, especially after a long day at work or something. I imagine the ability to communicate to members of the opposite sex come easy and natural to some, to others, it takes work, and still others, they find it too difficult, or just don't want to bother out of selfishness. I don't know. <BR/>I'm somewhere between enjoying it/finding it natural, but sometimes it takes me some effort. <BR/><BR/>bg: I'm sure that after 17 years, I'd need a refresher too!

I wonder if Men were raised with more active listening and less 'man up-ness" happening in thier young lives if that would make a difference...I bet it would. I am trying to raise three men...not children, but men. It's not easy in a world where strength and brawn count for much more than sensitvity and compassion. Wonderful thought provoking post.
