Why Yelling at a Man Doesn't Work
What a woman says:
This place is a mess!
C'mon!
You and I need to clean up!
Your stuff is lying on the floor and you'll have no clothes to wear
if we don't do laundry right now!
What a man hears:
blah,blah,blah,blah, C'MON
blah,blah,blah,blah, YOU AND I
blah,blah,blah,blah, ON THE FLOOR
blah,blah,blah,blah, NO CLOTHES
blah,blah,blah,blah, RIGHT NOW!
