Men are often labelled as 'non-listeners', and that we avoid conversations with our partners because we don't like talking and listening!! I am not so sure it is true!! For I listen to my girlfriend whenever she is telling me something( Although I won't lie by saying that I don't get bored when she describes the things in actual real timelength of the thing that she is talking about) Ladies:- Is this true with your partners too?? Men :- Do you listen or not??

True, a conversation loses interest when it is one-sided

Listening is very important for from there you'll have something to tell in return. That means the speaker wants a comment, suggestion/ sympathy.

When it comes to usual stuff/light topics, I can see that my husband likes to talk and listen as well. He can be very opinionated at times and I like it. But when it comes to more serious ones, he's careful in giving statements. Men are all different, the same way that women are. So I guess they are not really "non-listeners". In fact, there are times when my husband tends to be the one who listen attentively more than I do. Like, when we're watching movies, I'd say "what did he say in the last line?" and he actually knew it. It's safe to say that their attention is based on the topic.

I think some men can select what they want to listen. My husband is a good listener.

My husband and i like talking to each other . He listens and butts in once in a while when i am the one telling the story . And when it's his turn i listen too . Both of us knows the importance of talking with each other and taking time to listen to each one's stories .

I try to listen, but sometime we are really too much involved in some activity that our mind is busy about that thing, so we dont really are able to understand what other is sayind although we do Nod or say yes

I do not have a partner but I find I can have interesting conversations with men. I think the key is to realize that men are not as much into the emotional aspect of the conversation as the logical. By nature I am a logical person and can reason well on most subjects. I love debating, not heated argument, by an edifying exchange of thoughts and ideas.

This is a very nice observation that you have given!! I love debating too!! Everyone knows that people can have different opinions about a certain topic and there is no harm in that! Me and my girlfriend too get involved in such debates where we put forward our opinion!! (though I let her win most of the time, when she starts getting irritated!! LOL) Have you ever gotten bored of a topic ??

@dorianna Hmm, correct! If the other party is not open to talk, then it doesn't really matter!! what bugs me more is when during the conversation, the other person is not ready to listen to pure facts and admit that they might have been wrong!! Such kind of people too throw the point of discussion out of the window!

@Rationalwriter Oh, I have gotten bored but only when the topic has no depth. I like conversations to evoke thought and when it becomes weak I tend to get anxious to end the debate. That generally happens when the other party is close minded because there is no interchange of ideas.

You are completely right, I am so angry and sometimes I have to scold at him when he pretends listen to what I am talking but actually, he seems ignoring it, I bet that. and he is always say, why I am always angry. A lot of times like that just make me feel no mood to talk anymore about anything. and i love to know someone is listening to me

@birjudanak may be you havent got a girl friend yet. But when she talks, listen. You will see the different. I become like no need to talk cuz don't have moode anymore for talking, if it's more than 3 times if I say or ask something and don't answer me
