I feel women have more experience with things such as pain, heartbreak and many other things.

Yes - probably cause they are better at most things than men.

Generally yes, but men, it's subject matter.

Because men only listen with half an ear. Depending on what's going on around them. Women make eye contact and actually listen.

It's true because women are nurturers and therefore better listeners. My partner gets into all kinds of stupid situations to his detriment which wouldn't have happened if he had only listened.

Because most men are selective listeners. They pick and and choose what they want to hear especially if it's a woman talking to them..

I think most are, although there are exceptions. I think, in general, women are more responsive and sympathetic.

It doesn't matter because everyone is just a meal to me

It really doesn't matter what sex. It's the personality of the person

I don’t think it depends on gender, but on personality. My husband is naturally more quiet than I am and a better listener. I have to work harder at listening than he does.

People are people. Some people are better listeners than others, regardless of gender.

I just feel like arising at the same time helps me stay on schedule and feel like I am seizing the day. Also, I can NEVER sleep in when I try anyway.

I have tried to get up later but cannot stay up in the evening. I got up at the same time for many years while working

I'm retired, and unless I have a specific appointment, I get up whenever I wake up, and that depends on how late I stayed up the night before

Approximately, but as retirees we're delightfully flexible most all the time.

If I go to bed later, I will wake up later.

It is said that you should always wake up at the same time. Never has worked for me.
