21、o name just a few. But while the investments of the two men are similar, they do have different approaches.

Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women. Many different studies sh

26、ow that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it w
