Inability to communicate is the number one reason for divorce. It is very common for the married people, co-workers and opposite sex family members that they misunderstand each other. But when it comes to communication men are different from women like other things.
Basically men communicate by doing things and for the sake of accomplishing a task. Their style of showing affection is also different. They show affection by doing favors, solving problems, and physical gestures. Men also expect a tangible outcome from a dialogue or as a result of communication session. Men listen while doing something else, and provide advice and/or tactical support.
They also tend to prefer direct, to the point language that is not very detailed.
On the other hand the women tend to communicate for the sake of social connection. They see mutual connection or bonding as the desirable outcome for communication. They talk in a detailed verbal pattern. Women have a tendency to listen by nodding, making noises that show they are interested, and by sympathizing. They are generally cooperative than men.
