In a recent poll a third of women say their pets listen to them better than their husbands. Is this true? Probably! Communication is one of a wife's big complaints with her hubby. Let's face it men, we don't listen very well.
Is this a genetic thing or an acquired skill? Probably both. Studies show that women speak up to 3 times as many words in a day as men (some say that's because they have to repeat everything). As men we are born to fix things. When our wife comes to us with a problem we naturally want to fix it but often she doesn't want it fixed she just needs someone to listen and this is where the dog is smarter than we are.
Women love to vent, so let them. Put down the remote and listen! It isn't physically painful and can yield many benefits. Show your Mrs. you love her as much as the cat does by listening.
And ladies don't think you're all that either. Almost 20% of the men say their pet also listens better than you.

Hate to say it but my goldfish listens better than my wife. I think the reason its only 20% of the men is that most men don't even feel the need to talk it out.
