There is a study explaining why men do not listen to woman. A woman's voice is more intricate and melodic. While a man uses the basic hearing part of his brain to listen to a male, he has to use the music part of his brain to dicpher what a woman is saying. A woman already uses her music part of her brain to listen.
I happened to mention this in the workplace to get other views. It was an 'o yeah' moment for a guy who loves music. He likes women voices. He has guy friends that are not really into music and these friends of his express a hard time with listening to girls. This was an interesting notion for him.
I favor the male voice. I like the deepness in their voices when they talk and when they laugh. I much rather be cooed by a musical male voice than by a woman. I do not tolerate those high pitched voices. Maybe I like the simplicity of the male voice. It has a more calming effect than the exciteability of the female voice. Yes, a very interesting discovery for my thoughts.
What beauty is in the human voice. What an Awesome Creator to put such unique details in His precious creations.

ReplyDeleteMy job often has me answering the phone. Today I had an Australian male asking a question. I was looking for a number with 3 letters in the front. I was understanding him but he felt Iike I wasn't. So he had his wife come on to talk to me. She was Australian too. (I love how they talk!! Beautiful to my ears.)
What I did notice was that it was more simple and easier for me to listen to the man. The female's voice had more range, more highs and lows.
Just a simple observation. Plus, I made the correct guess that they were Australian and not British. I've been trying to see if i can figure out the infections. It is much like figuring out the music of the language.
I enjoy being a student of language ... soooo beautiful and wonderfully arranged ...
