Do women talk and listen from opposite sides of the brain?

[Dr. Nole]

Listening to my wife and daughter have a “discussion”...there’s no breaks...both are talking at the same time yet somehow their is communication? I guess if you can do it it’s twice as efficient as the conversations I can do...where only one person speaks at a time?

Just them or do others have this skill?

Visited wife's family in Huntsville and checked out the space museum. Had me in a Saturn V mood and I've been watching docs on the trip to the moon. Last one was focused on the guys at Mission Control, and one of the things mentioned was how at their switchboard they could connect to many different comm channels. The guy relaying this anecdote talked about how you'd learn to listen into five or six conversations at once to keep up with your own responsibilities.
I think it was this one:

Sir. Sign up for my course next door to Urban Smog's at OSU.
"Understanding Women" will be more beneficial than "Ethics and Whatever".

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm offended.

I don’t mean it as an insult FYI...it’s a skill I wish I had.

Mine does, but I suspect half her head is empty.

Just sayin!

maybe they are mind-melded on some level.

In a similar vein...my wife can change subjects so abruptly. I guess this speaks to the female brain's ability to be processing so many different thoughts at once. I stay confused half the time lol

My wife does this to me - starts talking over me when I'm in mid-sentence. It's caused a (minor) issue in our relationship.

oh yes.

Also...if a change the tv channel and the new channel is louder than the previous, she can blurt out a "it's too loud" before my finger can push the volume button down on the remote.

My wife talks to me out of one side of her brain and just ignores everything I say.

It's why they overthink EVERYTHING.

Does she read this board? You should pack now.

SOMEONE has to.

The paralysis of analysis.... Women do think too much! Then, again,
men don't think enough.... What a quandry!

I like a woman who thinks less and gets after what she really wants.
Assertiveness is a good thing.

Yep. She tells her guy to just do what she tells him to do.
