I agree with Amagine's response; we speak different languages. I think that is part of what should happen when you fall in love with someone, you learn to speak each other's languages. I try my best to communicate clearly and make sure I understand my partner before I jump to conclusions.

I agree with you. Nicely put.

The different langauges is due to the different ways our brain was wired, but brains can rewire and people can communicate, so we wont consider oursleves aliens to eac other as scientifically, we are the same species.

I think that instead of focusing on the differences created by gender stereotypes, couples should focus on communication. Everyone is different, but everyone is human. Communication and understanding can go a long ways.

I think we are more alike than different and the key to getting along is to not try to figure each other out but to accept each other for who we are.

Society has separated men and women into certain stereotypes that have impacted our emotional and logical thinking reactions. We are taught to feel and react in different ways, also our hormones effect certain chemicals in our brains. Everyone is capable of empathy, and having the emotional maturity/ intelligence to understand each other, if they put the effort in.

I agree with the saying one hundred percent. It's hard to know what men are thinking when they do certain things and even harder when it comes to women. Men and women are wired so differently they might s well be from two different planets.

Despite the differences, I agree with Jaime Lync. We're all individuals. We're all unique. And most people have some quality that would culturally defy their gender.
This. I think nature and nurture both have a role to play in the behavioural differences between men and women.

I think the differences are superficial. People are people at bottom.

I don't really agree with this. Men and women are all from the same planet. They are all one. It's all about understanding between the two. Everyone has perfections and imperfections. Nobody is perfect. If only they could understand each other's flaws. If they could then there could never be disagreements between them.

Men and women are wired differently. Their way of thinking, handling issues or even handling love matters is different. Numerous research have been made about the same topic. So many books have been written about women in comparison to men.

Every person is unique and so we cannot apply gender stereotypes.
