Woman bond by talking. Men bond by doing things together. That's why going out to dinner is a good date. Eating together bonds at the male level while the conversation bonds on the female level.
Here's an intersting man vs woman fact that can stop marital conflict.
A man's mind subconsciously filters out extraneous noise. A woman's does not. If a man is watching television and his back is turned to his wife and his wife starts talking the man does not hear what the woman says. Most woman are unaware of this fact and assume the non-response of a man is a result of being intentionally ignored which is not the case.
In experiments they can put earphones on a man or woman and have a recorded story go into each ear. With one story in one ear and another one going in the other ear they find significant differences in how the sexes do when tested on the stories.
If neither is told which story they are to be tested on or if both stories are tested woman do significantly better. If on the other hand both sexes are told ahead of time which of the two stories will be tested on before they hear the stories men do considerably better.
