Men and women were complaining since existence of mankind about not understanding each other. Well, this is true. Gender has an important role in differing the communication styles.
Studies and researches done by experts in this field shows that, men tend to be direct and assertive while women tend to use indirectness and try to build intimacy and solve problems by empathy.
In her book "Men & Women Closing the Gab", Jennifer Coutas studied both men and women discussion groups. Her findings were that women feel okay while talking about their privet lives, stick to one topic for along time, and they try to make everyone participate. However, Men do not like to speak about their privet lives. Instead, they prefer talking about sport, currant affairs, and traveling. Unlike women men tend to dominate the conversation and interrupt much more than women do.
Gender is the number one factor for these different communication styles. Men usually are direct and assertive. While women style is mostly about indirectness and establishing rapport. These differences are not something we can solve; the only way is to acknowledge these differences and to try to work with it.
