Every woman has felt like her man just doesnt listen. Ladies you are correct! The Mojo Radio Show is here to help with: 7 Tips to Get Your Man to Hear You 1. Sit Catty-Corner to Him When Speaking Men sometimes perceive face-to-face interaction as an act of aggression, which often triggers the fight-or-flight response. But studies show that sitting catty corner to (or even beside) him so he isnt forced to make eye contact with you lowers his defenses by short-circuiting this stress response. 2. Turn Off the TV Men dont multi-task nearly as well as women do. So, initiating a discussion with your partner while hes watching TV or surfing the Internet means you wont get his full attention. 3. Ask For What You WantAre you looking for a solution to a problem? Emotional support? A chance to vent? Youre more likely to get the response youre hoping for if you spell it out for him. Thats because men are especially programmed to fix things, and it can be frustrating when a solution isnt what youre looking for. 4. Stick to the facts.MRI scans reveal that men tend to listen with the logistical right half of their brains. That means theyre great at comprehending step-by-step details, but are likely to tune you out if you elaborate too much. So why he needs to do something really isnt important. He just needs to know what you need him to do! 5. Say What You MeanMen have more difficulty than women reading facial expressions and body language. And unfortunately, women tend to use a lot of both to communicate. So, whether youre upset, tired, overwhelmed or even excited, say what youre thinking and feeling, and more likely to listen! 6. Write It DownA majority of men respond better to something concrete, like a note or list than they do to something they hear. Thats because the male brain is more spatial and mechanical. 7. Step closerStudies show that people will not use a trash can if its more than nine feet away, and the same typically goes for men and paying attention. For this reason, have sit-downs, or face-to-face exchange, at the kitchen table where he can focus.
