munication between Men and Women
The differences do exist in the way males and females communicate, and the more significant differences are cultural. In other words, there are social expectations of how to be male or female. Women tend to speak and hear a language of connection and intimacy, whereas men speak and hear a language of status and independence. (Deborah Tannen, “You Just Don’t Understand”)

Supplement: Verbal Communication
Verbal Communication Styles (p179-183) : Direct / Indirect Self-enhancement / Self-effacement Elaborate / Exacting / Succinct Personal / Contextual Instrumental / Affective
Conversation is a rich point (a rich point is something in one culture that makes it difficult to be connected with another culture). It isn’t any particular word or grammatical construction that produces the rich point; it is something about the way things are going, something about people’s ideas about how to do a conversation. To handle the rich points, old unconscious ways of doing things are dusted off, new ways are built up. To converse in the new ways, you have to experience culture and manufacture some frames. If you don’t figure out the frames, you might speak grammatically correct English, but what you communicate will differ from what you intended.
