What an interesting study and thinking about @planttoplanks comment I remember being told by a girlfriend once that most mean only listen to 25% of anything that is said, and that got me thinking and observing and although I think that percentage may well be on the low side I did notice most men seem to only listen to keywords in a sentence and often ignore the rest and miss context, myself included I will admit, I think I am a better listener now than I was, but I know I also watch body language and expressions and they sometimes affect how actively I do listen LOL
