Music to my Hears

Posted by Bryan

It's not that men don't want to listen to women, it's that men were not designed to be able to listen to women.

Men's brains are not designed to listen to women's voices. It's not the pitch of the woman's voice, but rather the vibration and number of sound waves that cause the problem, notes Discovery News.

But guys have no trouble at all hearing each other because men use a much simpler brain mechanism at the back of the brain to decipher another man's voice and recognize it as speech.

Seems to me that a research scientist let the grass go unmowed too long, and needed a convenient rationale by the time he arrived home.

This entry, by the way, was submitted by my masculine inner monologue, so as you would recognize it as speech, and not be tempted to call in and vote for me at American Idol.

PS -- Not coincidentally, the link for men to listen better...ironically provided by Ask Men, who misinterpreted the question as "What is your favorite Led Zeppelin song?"
