It’s True, Your Boyfriend Does Have Selective Hearing

If it feels as if your boyfriend or husband tunes you out on occasion . . . well, congratulations on being like EVERYBODY else in this world.  And . . . it's TRUE.Researchers in England recently revealed that both men AND women really DO tune out certain things that are said that apparently their subconscious does not find relevant.

In the study, researchers chose the most stereotypically "male" words like "beer" and "football" . . . and stereotypically "female" words like "chocolate" and "shopping."

Following that, they had men and women listen in on a conversation, and report back on the things they heard.

Men were often able to recall the moments that featured the manly words and not remember the other parts . . . women were more likely to remember the parts with female words and forget the rest.
