W: I was [1]working on a paper about the differences between women and men. I have been thinking about it all these days, but no satisfactory results come out
M: Ah, you may not realize you’re working on a complicated philosophical issue.
W: I know exactly that men and women are different. They sometimes don’t understand each other at all.
M: I agree. Men and women are interested in different topics when they are talking. Last weekend, John and I went to a ball game. [2]When we’re at the game, we talked about the players and what’s going on in the game and nothing else. I think women wouldn’t do that.
W: You bet! Yesterday, a friend and I sat at a cafe and talked about nothing, and everything! Um... about my sister’s new baby... and about when she could go back to work... and you know, who should take care of the baby... things like that.
M: When a woman talks with a man, [3]she’ll often feel as though he wasn’t really listening or that he wasn’t really having a conversation, right?
W: Yeah, that sounds very familiar to me.
M: And I think a man doesn’t understand what the woman really wants from him.
W: I guess he probably wonders "what’s her point?", "where’s this conversation going?"
M: To speak from experience, for a man, talking is generally more straightforward—it’s about giving and getting facts. Men generally don’t base their friendships on talking, but on doing—getting together with buddies, playing sports or hanging out.
W: Well, for me, [4]a best friend is someone I can be close with and talk to. I can talk with her in detail about everyday events in our lives. We share feelings and secrets. This offers a chance to better understand our world and ourselves.
