WHY YELLING AT A WOMAN DOESN'T WORK 

What a man says: 

We're in a financial mess!  C'mon!  You just can't take all the 
credit cards without realizing that the bills have to be paid 
sooner or later.  Every time there's a sale on, you have to go 
on a shopping spree.  This has got to stop right now. 

What a woman hears: 

blah,blah,blah,blah, C'MON 
blah,blah,blah,blah, TAKE ALL THE CREDIT CARDS 
blah, blah,blah,blah, THERE'S A SALE ON 
blah,blah,blah,blah, GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE 
blah,blah,blah,blah, RIGHT NOW 



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
