Genderlect Syles

I am klutzy and my friends tell me I should die my hair blond because it fits my personality. I always tell stories about my silly moments like when I followed the blue H signs thinking it would lead my to a highway, but it led me to the hospital. When I am a story teller, I like to tell foolish stories. I never realized that the type of stories I tell reflect my gender. When males tell stories, they like to tell stories where they are a hero. My boyfriend likes to hunt and he will rarely telling me about his day unless he shot something. When having a conversation with my boyfriend, I ask about his day, about work, who he was with, and several questions that relate to the others. I also ask questions and let him know when I'm listening, while I on the other hand have to repeat what I say until he is able to remember what I had said and rarely asks questions unless he is very concerned. These differences reflect the report that men use to talk and the rapport that women use to talk.
The more the theory went in depth, the more I continued to laugh because it was true. The only thing I did not agree with is that women see conflict as damage. I do not like to be mad at someone for long periods of time because I am afraid of the damage, but I also love the competition. This theory fascinates me which is why I am currently taking gender and communications. I love to hear the differences between men and women so this theory was very interesting.
