A recent research has shown that men often don’t pay attention to conversations, except when it comes to sports or women. A lot of men say that they’re bad listeners when the conversations are about his feelings, his diet, people’s relationships, celebrities, shopping, Facebook gossip and horoscope.
The research included 2000 men, and the conclusion was that ‘shut down’ after the 6th minute during conversations with their girlfriends and the 11th minute during conversations with friends. On the other hand, women are more careful listeners.
The research has shown that the most popular conversation topic among men is football and women love to talk about people’s relationships. The research has also shown that it’s most difficult to get your men’s attention during a match or while he’s playing a computer game.
The end result is that men don’t listen to their women at least 4 times a week, and 55% of women regularly test their men if they’re listening.
Women claim that the most often sign that you man isn’t listening to you is when he doesn’t answer your sudden questions or when he starts answering using one or two words.
