"I'm In My Nothing Box": Why Guys Don't Listen or Always Open Up
I went to Lifest this weekend, and there was a comedian named Mark Gungor. He does comedy about the differences between women's brains and men's brains.
He started by explaining men's brains.. he said that men's brains are made up of different boxes that never touch. There's a box for his job, a box for his girlfriend, a box for his finances, a box for his house, etc... Then he told us there's a hidden box in a man's brain... it's called his "nothing box". There is literally nothing in this box.
This is why when you ask a guy "What are you thinking about?" and he says "Nothing." ...He's serious. He's really thinking about nothing! This was pretty much the same thing he said to us.
THEN! LISTENING
Women = Multitaskers? Yes.
Men = Multitaskers? No.Men are single-taskers. They can only do one thing at a time (so to speak). If they're reading a newspaper for example, you can't ask or tell them to do something and expect them to listen. THEY WON'T HEAR YOU! You actually have to go over there and put the newspaper down THEN ask.. Make him listening the only thing he's doing.
You also cannot ask a man to do something one time. It will "go into his ears, around his nothing box, and right out the other ear." You have to ask him more than once, or he seriously will not hear you.
Watch those videos, they're not only informative, but they're really funny. (the first and second mostly)
Hope this helped you wondering and frustrated women!

Hey, I have a nothing box.
Are we still breeding with the missing link?
because he is so self absorbed that he thinks what he is doing is always more important than whatever she is trying to say to him so he zones her out until she gets mad and starts drama with him for not paying attention.
Sometimes what we're doing is more important than what you're saying.
However I agree with the OP personally. I'm a shitty multitasker, so I have to stop doing one thing before I can start doing another and I generally hate being interrupted when I'm deeply focused on something. I think that has more to do with my personality and not my gender though.
I also have a nothing box for the record.
so true. my economics professor used to sit and chat with me about his wife and relationships when i was havin problems. he told me about the nothing box! i wish i had one sometimes :( haha
everyone moves towards what they want and away from what they don't. Example: When
a woman ask you to interrupt what you want to do, to do what you don't want to
do (listen to her), then of course you will get passive non-compliance. If
anything just not to follow up with the next don’t want to do, argue. Now
with this said! Women will use multitasking as defensive/avoidance of something
they don’t want to do as well. Example: When a woman picks up a task during a
conversation rest assure she is not in agreement with the conversation or
actions. Both serve the same purpose. Its just one denotes guilt the other
disrespect.
lol this guy is so funny , whats his name?!?
@SamBarger@xanga - His name is Mark Gungor
everyone has a nothing box, they just have to learn how to use it.
@jamoncita@xanga - agreed.
@simpleaslovex3 - lol thanks, this guy is awesome hahahaha
I'm female and I can't multitask. I can only pay attention to one thing at a time. Either I'm a freak of nature, or this is just a generalization.
My boyfriend and I were discussing this. He told me that when he says he was "thinking about nothing," he was really thinking about something either really stupid, something that he just doesn't want to talk about, or something that's just too much effort to explain because it barely makes sense.
LOLLL I saw this a long time ago and I totally agreed. However, I'm also agreeing with what a lot of people said here.. we ALL have a nothing box. =P
Men and women are wired differently, but in some aspects... we're all pretty much the same.
This is such a funny post! My SO even says he's in his "nothing box" when I ask what he's thinking about. It's funny and surprisingly so true that it's just sad. You have to love them though. It's funny when they're in their nothing box, they start to stare into space.
Fuck it, it's not even worth posting something about how my girlfriend and I are pretty much disproving this. Goddamnit.
I love how people have to bitch about it. If you don't agree and think it's completely stupid, then move on.
.@mcmeister89@mancouch - @psychopathic_ambition@xanga - it IS a generalization.. so, you can if you can disprove it.. it wasnt said that it's for 100% of people..
@simpleaslovex3 - That's why I said "fuck it".
lol sooo funny..i think i ve a nth box even though im a girl :D
