If the point isn't made in the first 3 sentences, I tend to tune out. Is this the right amount of time?

No women prefer you to listen to all that they have to say but I'm surprised you even listen to the first 3 sentences. My husband tunes out when he can tell I have something hes not gonna want to hear automatically, but if it benefits him then he'll listen.

I am the same way sometimes with my guys I have dated but I have ADD. You just need to try harder. Or openly discuss with your girl that you have a hard time listening and you might tune out accidentally and have to have her repeat things. She should appreciate your honesty. OOPS! More than three sentences! Sorry.

tuning us out would be a bad idea. women bring stuff back up and if you have no idea what shes talking about, you could be in more trouble than you were in the first place. be polite, stop acting like we're annoying and waste your time, and if it gets to be rambling, say something! tuning us out is much much worse.

Lord love a duck, or, to use a nifty new phase I picked up only a few answers ago, Fa shizzle my nizzle.
If your girl is good enough to go out with you, and try to understand football and all other manly sports for you, and if she slaves in the kitchen all day to impress you with her cooking skills, and spends hours sniffing perfumes and trying on dresses just to find the perfect one to drive you crazy so you will rip it off of her--then YES! Listen to her. It's the least you can do :)

I just appreciate it when my husband listens to topics. He pretends to listen to all my babble, but relly only tunes in to the important stuff, like the kids or bills. You just have to perfect the technique of half listening. When words pop out at you, then tune in. For instance: blah,blah,blub,merr,wonk,wonk, car payment..blah... Just start to listen or say" sorry baby my mind wandered for a sec. I paid the car payment." Once you get that down, the next time she tests you with...wah, burr, blub,blud, wonk,wak,sex, whirr.... You will just say..."Pardon, beautiful, I thought I had to sneeze, and lost focus. What were you saying?" And she replyes" I was just asking if you wanted to go have nasty, porn sex?" You will be covered. Get it?!?

You can tune us out at about the same time that you decide to do without sex for awhile.
Getting it back will depend on how much grovelling YOU want to do.

LOL, good luck with this one man. Sometimes I talk to my wife for a couple minutes and she doesn't even realize that I'm talking. I always listen to her though. It doesn't cause problems when she doesn't listen though, I just think it's funny that someone can be sitting right next to her and she doesn't even notice them talking because she's so engrossed in a book.

Sure. My husband remembers the last 3 words I said as proof that he was "listening." Try that.

You are clearly a poor listener, and perhaps don't really like women. Are you gay? Maybe you would prefer to listen to men instead.

What? I'm sorry, I just tuned you out.
