Blog/RJ WEEK 7
I want to be honest and say that this week’s blog assignment is actually kind of difficult for me to respond to. I can’t choose the number 5 assignment simply because I already wrote on it on a previous blog entry. I also honestly don’t really think much about gender when talking to someone since I treat everyone I talk too normally equally. Finally I don’t find number 2 essay all that easy for the fact that I haven’t had someone really make a difference or change in my life just through a conversation. I suppose I will go with writing assignment number one in the end.
I am really having a tough time with this essay over the fact that I don’t like to judge everyone or one sex in a general category when there are plenty of people of the mentioned sex that I have yet to have experience in talking with yet. With verbal conversation I personally find that when talking to other males that the conversations tend to be a lot slower but more thought out and thorough. When I talk to women it tends to be more like a game of tag or hide-go-seek with each of us trying to figure out which button to push to start or find something we have in common. One could say that all that I just mentioned could fall under the tone, volume, and pitch of the voices that are in the conversation that include mine.
For nonverbal communication I tend to see that guys do think a lot more often before they speak and women tend to have a more laid back nature when starting a conversation. I would like to mention the volume of the voices in conversations with males and females, but I don’t feel like I have right too since I tend to get loud when I get excited about something and I don’t normally notice this unless someone brings it up. I can say though that on situations that revolve around dates I tend to be the one that is nervous and unsure what to exactly say while my female partner tends to be all relax and enjoying herself. In short most the time if I am not interested in the girl(s) that I am having conversation with I treat them as if they were any other person. I don’t normally differentiate between sexes unless I have some interest in with the other party in the conversation, so in short I am pretty sure both sexes speak the same language in both verbal and nonverbal communication.
I agree, I too do not have much to say about this issue. I chose number five the previous week as well so I had a hard time picking out which essay to do. I also think that we are all equal I do not look too much into the difference between the different genders. I agree that for women it is all about speed talking. We get a thought in our mind and want to share it as soon as we can. I find that women talk way faster than men. I am especially bad at that. I find myself talking faster than my brain can think and my mouth can move. It becomes gibberish. I know that studies have been done where it shows that women talk more than men. I think that it is more of a personal thing I think that each person has a unique personality and some girls are talkative and some are more quiet. I know that for me I prefer to talk to guys because they are better listeners and do not tend to put in their two cents for everything but that is just from my own personal experience. I agree that we do both speak the same language. I do find that unlike you when you get nervous you do not know what to say I find myself saying way too much.
