7. Gender Differences in Men and Women
Men and Women differ in many ways like:
• Facial Expressions
Men overall use fewer facial expressions than women. Men also smile less
• Paralanguage
Paralanguage is used by women much more than men. This includes gesturing
noises such as “mhm,” and “oh,” as well as head nodding
• Physical Space
• Men are much more likely to command and use personal space than women.
Men often prefer face-to-face communication, with the opportunity to shake
hands

8. • Posture
Men typically have wider postures and stand with their
arms farther away from their bodies and legs apart.
Women are more likely to keep their arms closer to
their bodies and cross their legs.
• Eye Contact
Women typically use more direct eye contact during
communication in order to make a strong connection
and develop a relationship. Men, however, use eye
contact most commonly as a challenge of power or
position.
