Post; It's scientific now Men do have trouble hearing women


Hi,

A great Excuse and it's scientific too .

Now Finally we all have a Excuse ............ I made Sure my Girl Friend Sees this article

LONDON (AFP) - Men who are accused of never listening by women now have an excuse -- women's voices are more difficult for men to listen to than other men's, a report said.

The Daily Mail, quoting findings published in the specialist magazine

NeuroImage, said researchers at Sheffield university in northern England discovered startling differences in the way the brain responds to male and female sounds.

Men deciphered female voices using the auditory part of the brain that processes music, while male voices engaged a simpler mechanism, it said.

The Mail quoted researcher Michael Hunter as saying, "The female voice is actually more complex than the male voice, due to differences in the size and shape of the vocal cords and larynx between men and women, and also due to women having greater natural 'melody' in their voices.

"This causes a more complex range of sound frequencies than in a male voice."

The findings may help explain why people suffering hallucinations usually hear male voices, the report added, as the brain may find it much harder to conjure up a false female voice accurately than a false male voice.

Peace

Yeah yeah yeah...

Actually, I don't have that problem with my drumline guys. Maybe because they are used to listening to things with somewhat of a melody and tuning... or maybe they are just scared to not hear

listen to this quote very carefully. It comes from the book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

"When a man is in the cave he can record what she is saying with 5% of the mind that is listening."

What this means is that us men can record just enough to recite back what a woman has said even though 95% of our brain is somewhere else. It never fails that I can read back everything my wife says even when accused of "not listening."
