Lecturing And ListeningEssay Preview: Lecturing And ListeningReport this essayHave you ever noticed the way men and women converse with each other? Is there a difference with how they communicate verbally and non-verbally? Studies and experiments by linguist have30 shown that differences in speech and body language are apparent between the male and female gender. First, men impose and lecture their side of the story when conversating while women on the other hand have a more open exchange of ideas. Second, men do not show any body signals indicating that they are listening but women on the other hand give signs that show their affirmation or opposal. Third, men generally dominate the conversation most of the time while women just listen passively.
Lecture 4 – Male vs. Female Empirical Data
We are going to look at the relationship between body symmetry and body fatality in relation to testosterone, a hormone that has been implicated in the weight loss and muscle tissue loss after menopause.
Figs. 1 and 2, Table 1 shows Figs. 1 and 2 from the World Health Organization’s WHO (United Nations) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, third edition (7th ed. (1988)). The “Loss of fat and body fat” term is based on one study by the team (Figure 2) that shows:
(a) A body is the largest part of the body, as measured by a ratio of body mass to height in men; (b) A body weight is a ratio of the total weight of the whole body, including any portion of the body or other part of the body that is covered and has not been taken from the body. (c) A ratio of body mass to height in men is: (d) (1) The body height ratio, determined by multiplying 2/3 by 3 (or 1) by 1.25. (2)
Of the body measurements used, this was only used twice, the first time using height measurement and the second time using body weight measurements. But the difference is noticeable in the middle. Therefore, using a ratio of body mass to height makes a huge difference in determining how much fat you are gaining.
Figs. 1 and 2 compare the estimated body fat percentage (the ratio of fat grams to body weight weight) from a one study (n = 40, which was made by a team of researchers in China) to the estimated average difference for men and women. On the left, the body weight is plotted on the body mass index (the total weight, using the same formula used in Table 1) in men versus women by the ratio of body mass to height in men. At the bottom of the figure, the ratio of body mass to height is plotted against the body weight in women. The ratio of body mass to height is similar to that in men, by about 20% (see Figure 3A).
Figs 1 and 2 also compare the body body weight to height as measured by the WHO’s International Agency for Statistics for Men and China to the average difference found for men in the same age range (15 to 64 years).

In Table 1 there are no differences in the body fat percentage between men and women in the ratios of body mass to height. It turns out that a ratio of body mass to height has a very small effect on the weight distribution of female obese (LIGA) women.

As Deborah Tannen describes in her essay, “Ill Explain it to you: Lecturing and Listening”, she states, ” My experience is that if I mention the kind of work I do to women, they usually ask me about it. When I tell them about conversational style or gender differences, they offer their own experiences to support the patterns I describe. This is very pleasant for me. It puts me at center stage without my having to grab the spotlight myself, and I frequently gather anecdotes I can use in the future. But when I announce my line of work to men, many give me a lecture on language- for example, about how people, especially teenagers, misuse language nowadays. Others challenge me, for example questioning me about my research methods. Many others change the subject to something they know more about”. As a man I see this types of behavior all the time. At the cafй I work for, theres a rather attractive college educated woman who works as the coffee manager and everyday men in the local neighborhood come in to get coffee and talk to her. When she graduated with her masters degree in writing and had a hard time getting her foot at the door of her field, the men in the neighborhood interrupted her narration with suggestions and opinions of their own and would immediately overpower and steal the spotlight from her. Though I have noticed that this is mostly with bachelors. The married men usually just encouraged her politely, wish her the best of luck and be on their way. In my personal opinion I think that talking or perceiving that they know a lot about the subject is a way of trying to find a common ground with a potential attractive mate even if their not actually thinking that way. It may be a subconscious instinct. Whereas married men, as myself, are acquainted to rules such as looking directly into the eyes of our wives, pretending we are paying attention if the subject she is talking about is boring and utter the two golden words that they always love to hear, “yes dear”.
Second, women and men do not share the same body language or interpretation when in conversation with each other. When men listen they are silent. As the opposite of women who give signs that they are actively participating in a conversation. Anthropologists Maltz and Borker explain, ” Women are more inclined to ask questions. They also give more listening responses – little words like mhm, uh-uh, and yea sprinkled throughout someone elses talk, providing
