"On the Differences Between men and women":
I feel that the article could have taken place in real life. Some aspects of it were a little over exaggerated, on the girl's part. The main idea of what was going on, I can see happening. The character Elaine was emotional and sensitive, and when she wanted to hear a positive response from Roger she didn't get it. I would have probably thought the same things she was thinking, but not so deeply as she did. The character Roger, I think, like any other guy would have said nothing as well. Women are more sentimental about their relationships than men are. For this couple, I would advice that Elaine not read too much into things. I think that Roger should ask Elaine what she is talking about, so that he won't be so confused about what she talking about. We can definitely change our communication structure by explaining to each other exactly what we feel and by listening to one another. If we don't listen or pay any attention to what is going on, then we will never learn.

"Can't we talk?":
I do think that Tannen does come up with realistic situations. The situations that Tannen came up with I have seen in real life before. Each couples situations are different, but the similar at the same time. Each wife wants her husband to consider her feelings before they do anything. Each husband wants their wives to not be sensitive. To each couple I advice that they talk to each other. Not only talking about how her husband doesn't listen to her or consider her feelings, but both talk. Especially the husband about how he feels about his wife telling him how he does not care. I believe that if every couple really talks to one another they will have a healthy relationship. I think that talking to each other is the most important key to a good relationship. When things are left unsaid they are kept inside and it just builds inside.

How men and women socialize and communicate:
In a study done in San Francisco, they stated that women are more likely to use the Internet to get their jobs or tasks done. When men are more likely to use the Internet as diversions "silly things". When men talk they talk in a self importance and information matter. When women talk they talk in a more intimate way with a connection. Women see men as self-centered and men see women as insecure. For a man it is sex that allows his needs for love. When a woman receives love is when her hunger for sex is known. The way men and women communicate and socialize come from how the communicated and socialized when they were younger. Girls communicate and socialize with one another to gain a friendship. Boys communicate and socialize to negotiate there place in the group. When men and women can not understand each others differences, is when a problem rises. Tension rises when a man or woman don't understand each other. They each expect for one another to know how the other feels about certain things. There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, but if women and men took the time to understand each other more it could be close to perfect.
