Hello...are you listening

"The selective hearing process in the human auditory system is the ability fo the brain to tune into audio cues and tune our unwanted audio cuse in the listener's environment. Selective hearing means listening only to audio cues that the listener want to hear and not those he/she does not want to hear, all at the same time. Selective hearing can be conscious or subliminal."

There is a new study out from the U.k.'s University of Scheffield that suggest that men's brains hear women's voices first as music.
Men use the auditory part of their brain that processes music when listening to a woman speak, therefore they have to work harder at deciphering what woman are saying. It is not the pitch of the woman's voice, it is the vibration and number of sound waves that couse the problem.
Due to the differences in the size and shape fo the vocal cors and laryx between men and woman, the female voice is more complex. Woman have a greater natural 'melody' in their voice and create a more complex rand of sound frequencies that men hear in a male voice.
Men do not have trouble hearing other men becuase they use a simplier mechanism at the back of the brain to dexipher another man voice and recognze it as speech. Men hear a males voice and use the part of the brain wehre people compare their experiences to themselves, so they are technically comparing this new voice to themselves.
Based on these findings, it is said that people who suffer hallucinations usually hear male voices. It is too hard for the brain to create a false feminine voices as accurately as it can create a false masculine voice.

I did not go as far as to investigate if the study was done by a man or a woman and what the ratio to men and women was in the study, but I can form my own opinion on that and will not let this be an excuse for my honey to claim that he did not hear me. If I have to write it out for him, so be it.
So it is not that men can not figure out women it is that they can not hear what we are saying. Makes you wonder when they are staring at Janet Jackson or some other beautiful female singer on TV if they are hearing what they are singing or are they really just being themselves and staring at their clevage.
