In general do you think men are more blunt when they talk meaning they speak their mind %26amp; don't hold back? I need help with a research project and i'm trying to come up with some ideas on how men and women communicate differently. Any suggestions let me know and it would be great if you gave your opinion about my question. The more answers i get the better.In general do you think men are more blunt when they talk meaning they speak their mind %26amp; don't hold back?
I don't think it has anything to do with gender. I'm dating one guy who's completely open and honest about everything even to the point of pissing everyone off. My ex didn't communicate well at all. I mean he broke up with me because he thought I was in love with him and he didn't want anything serious. If he'd only asked... And I know women who'll only say what they think you want to hear. And there's me, who prefers to speak the truth, but I'll be tactful about what I say. It's an individual trait who is blunt and who is not.In general do you think men are more blunt when they talk meaning they speak their mind %26amp; don't hold back?
guys==more blunt





gals==tactful





really depends on the situation and who is involved
when a women is angry she will speak very bluntly and when i guy is frusterated he will but when he is in his sensitive mood he wont be blunt same as with girls
No, they do not. Females are generally more into speaking their feelings than males. I do not know if it is genetic or taught but it is true, especially in the U.S. If you want a male to talk about his innermost thoughts you have to be patient. Get him to trust you. And then gradually draw him out. If you are careful eventually he may ';spill his guts'; to you.
Read Deborah Tannen, PhD, ';You Just Don't Understand - Women and Men in Conversation.'; She is a socio-linguist and it is a fascinating book.





She says, ';For most women, the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and negotiating relationships. Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences.';





On the other hand, ';For most men, talk is primarily a means to preserve independence and negotiate and maintain status in a hierarchical social orders. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by holding center stage through verbal performance....';





This book will help you a lot with your project.
Yahoo Answers may ot be the best scientific research....come on, ya'll
men are blunt, but sometimes the words they say they arent thinking about how the meaning of them are coming across to others. sometimes they say things so direct to the point and dont think their words can hurt. but when words are spoken direwctly to them they dont hear them. they dont like to hear others talk about them. they are thinking well that isnt me. men think they do or say no wrong. when in the long run they are the opposite of what they think of themselves.
I would say so, yes. Women tend to play mind games and put hidden meaning to things while men are very direct and literal.
Hi, I am convinced men hold back when speaking to both women and other men. When speaking to women, they hold back for fear of offending or hurting. Although they are less careful when speaking to other men, I believe because men tend to avoid conflict, they still tread carefully. Men will never tell you exactly how they feel. They'll probably tell you what they are thinking, though,
yeah i think they are...


and they act w/o thinking first





ok when they see a pretty girl they're immediate reaction is to try to get her and they might ';holler'; at them and try to get those ';digits';
Yes, I feel men are more likely to be blunt. Women are more sensitive and know the impact of harsh words. Women can say the same thing a man does, only we word it differently..making the same point none the less.





Its not what you say, its how you say it.
I think women are more outspoken. Some can be really vicious!
Not at all! Men get scared when it comes to that kind of stuff. Though most girls are scared of their own shadow this dang age, more women are becoming impowering and scaring men into speaking their mind.
There are a lot of studies already done of this subject. Find some books on this.
sometimes.

I would disagree. I recently answered a question about a girl always being mean and playing pranks to a guy, to try to cover up that she likes him. I'd say that man speak thier mind much more then females.
