Understanding Gender Differences Have you ever wondered if men and women were not the same species? Well, stop scratching your head. There are indeed many differences between men and women. Understanding these differences may help you interact better with the opposite sex! She: I’m going to quit this summer job. I’m like a slave here! He: …… (silent) After 2 months, she’s still working in the store. As for him, he has already submitted his resignation letter without saying a word.

Gender Differences in Communication She : Use language to build bonding and relationship with people they care He : Use language to express opinions, give instructions / advices She : Talk emotively and extensively (express emotion) He : Talk factually and with a purpose (pass information) She : Think aloud to process information He : Talk silently to self, think thoroughly before coming to an answer She : Use indirect talk to avoid aggression, confrontation or discord He : Use short, direct, solution-oriented, and to-the-point sentences She : Has acute ability to notice small details and changes in others (e.g., facial expression, gesture, tone, voice, use of word) He : Insensitive to such details and small changes She : Rely on facial expression, tone of voice, body language in communication He : Little changes in facial expression, tone of voice, body language

He: So, do I have your undivided attention, sweetie? She: Oh of course! Well, despite that I’m painting my nails, watching a bit of TV and looking at my class schedule tomorrow, I’m listening with all ears!

Gender Differences in Attention She : Constantly receive and analyze information from their environment He : Concentrate on one specific dedicated task at a time She : Able to perform several activities simultaneously He : Can only focus on one thing at a time She : Can change attention / topic of discussion easily He : When discussing a number of topics at the same time, they become completely lost She : Attentive to details He : Missing the details

She: I’m depressed! My teacher blamed me for missing the deadline. But she had no idea how much bla bla bla… He: Here’s the thing. You should try to explain to her and… She: Stop! I don’t need your advice. Can’t you just say something comforting?!

Gender Differences in Emotions She : Reveal emotions He : Hide emotions (but more likely to express anger and pride) She : Focus on emotional support He : Focus on problem-solving She : Under pressure, ventilate emotions through talking (before solving the problem) He : Under stress, isolate themselves and concentrate on solving the problem She : For her reminders mean love and care He : For him reminder s suggest he is being controlled or not being trusted

She: I love window shopping with the girls. It’s just so much fun! He: Window shopping is totally against logic. What’s the purpose really if you end up buying nothing?

Gender Differences in Belief and Value She : Focus on communication, cooperation, harmony, love, sharing and relationships He : Concerned with getting results, achieving goals, status and power, and beating the competition She : Value relationships first He : Tend to value things more (e.g., car, hi-tech products, model) She : Ready to seek / offer help and advice He : Solve problem by themselves (taking help/advice are perceived as weak) She : Fear of being isolated, care much about others’ comments / impressions He : Fear of failure She : Need to be cared for/ supported/ understood He : Need to be trusted / seen as capable / independent

She: I’m lost. Help! He: What? You’ve been to this place three times before and you still can’t find your way?! What about your GPS? She: I’m looking at it now but I can’t read the map…
