Listening is a very difficult tasks, and I have proven that with some of my friends,and especially with MEN. Men are good listeners once they wants to have something, He pretends thats he is a good listener I may say but the truth is he only wants something from you... and if they dont get what they want from you, it means only one thing, you are not worth their time so it means that they wont give a thought about you.I dont know if this applies to all men out there, but I surely knew some...

On behalf of all men, I apologize. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us, over time. I want absolutely nothing from you, and yet, somehow managed take in the point of view you have on the subject of listening, and process your concern. It's a miracle!

I apologize too, I dont mean to generalize all men, some men it should be.Anyways, this is based on personal experience though.

I think it depends on people... Imean i think i listen well to people and always try to hear them out but when im not in good mood or if m preoccipied then rhat sure will cause me not to pick up everything thar has been to me giving men bebefits of the doubt... I tbink that they listen to is but someimes even if they know they will get what they want, they just are out of focus because of some other stuffs that are bothering them...

I agree to a certain extent but not all men are like that but alot are i think it all depends on what you expect from a relationship and how the foundations are set early on.

Not all men are bad listener. Take me for example. Even some of my friend talk to me about something that doesn't matters to me or something I don't need, I will still listen, without interrupt them until they finished. Well, I had been researching this kind of things for more then 3 years now. What I found interesting is that most men like to put on mask and pretends they are some one else unless they feel safe. Since most men scared that they might do something wrong or others my think they are strange. One reason that makes a men hard to listen is that their connection between left and right hemisphere of the brain are much lower then girls. It is much easier to use body language to talk to them. Another thing is that they might also pretends that they are a bad listener because they don't want others to think they are weird.
