This theory (although technically it is not a theory), suggests that men and women grow up, adapt and live in different world simultaneously. The perspectives, communication styles and actions from both male and females can be completely different. Men on one side tend to have more report speech (trying to establish dominance and higher status then others) whereas women tend to have more rapport speech (trying to establish a relationship and connect with others). This difference can be seen from studies down on young men and women from the age of 5-15. Women also tend to apologize, and listen more then men do, making them more passive. Women also are far less likely to be involved in fights because of this discrepancy.
