Average bloke switches off after 6-min chat with their other half
     2014-December-18  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

The average man can stand just six minutes of his woman’s witterings about her lunch, her stars and her feelings, it is claimed.

By contrast, he can pay attention for an entire 15 minutes’ conversation with mates about football or their sex lives, according to research carried out among 2,000 adults.

The findings also showed women listen longer and harder in conversation with their friends than they do with their other halves.

More than half of the men surveyed admitted they weren’t good listeners at all.

But the study found they will happily talk with a friend about sports, which proved the most popular topic for more than half the men questioned, followed by chats on films and sex.

Relationships was the favorite theme among women, with 55 percent saying it was their favorite topic of conversation.

The worst time to expect a man’s attention is while he is watching sports, channel surfing or playing an app, according to the Ladbrokes-commissioned survey.

The average man has four occasions each week where he isn’t listening to a partner when he should be.

Men are most likely to switch off from a conversation if the topic is someone they don’t know, followed by chat about workmates, celebrities or clothes.

And chaps are similarly unenthused when talk turns to things their partner has seen on Facebook, horoscopes and chat around what they ate for lunch that day.

To this wilful and lazy ignorance, 55 percent of women say they regularly test their partner to check whether or not he’s listening. More than a fifth of men admit they often browse the web or watch sports while on the phone to their partner.

男人与伴侣聊天仅6分钟热度

针对2000名成人中的一份调查发现,与此相对的是,男人能全神贯注与哥们儿聊整整15分钟的足球或者性生活。

调查发现,女性与朋友谈话时比与伴侣聊天时更认真并且听的时间更长。

半数以上参与调查的男性承认他们不是好的倾听者。

但是研究发现,他们很乐意和朋友谈论体育。半数以上的男人最喜欢的话题是体育,其次是电影和性。

女性最喜欢谈论的话题是恋爱关系。55%的女性说,聊天时她们最喜欢这个话题。

据立博博彩公司委托进行的调查显示,男人在看体育节目、换台或是玩应用软件时,他们最不可能分心到其他事上。

男人本该倾听伴侣谈话却做不到的情况,一般一周会有四次。

男人最不愿听的是他们不认识的人,其次是同事、名人和服装。

同样的,在伴侣谈她们在脸书上的见闻、谈星座和聊午饭吃了什么时,男人会感到无聊。

对这种故意忽视、怠慢,55%的女性说她们会时不时地测试伴侣以确定他们有没有在听。

超过五分之一的男性承认,在和伴侣打电话时他们常常浏览网页或者看体育节目。
