I agree it is powerful but it is also just effective communication. I try to do it a lot with my girlfriend on things we don't necessarily agree. I'll paraphrase her position to ensure that my response is correct. ...Sadly, that is sometimes met with "No, are you even listening". But hey, at least at that point she rewords it to get her point across.

I have an Aunt who thrives on disagreement -- and in particular, she will not let me agree with her. Some time ago I believe she irrevocably decided that our views are too different and we can never agree. I literally have had the exchange with her: "I completely agree with everything you just said." "Then you must have misunderstood me."

heya if you are talking about communicating with a woman - or rather feminine energy - sometimes it can be even easier than that! 95% - 99% of the time, feminine energy works out its problems through saying them out loud and being heard. (Masculine energy works out its problems by pondering in a man cave). So often, all you have to do is keep your lips closed and listen. It can be hard, but that's the way it works, by sometimes introducing an uncomfortable air. Your calm, attentive, silent response to the discomfort is how the energy is resolved. Shortly after the discomfort, you'll feel a mood change and when she says, "Thank you for listening!!" you'll often get a big hug. I sincerely hope this helps you and everyone else big time.

    No, not at all. It's something I learned from Corey Wayne [1], a dating and success coach. He says only 3% of men really understand women. Judging from my downvotes, he's right. Although I really hoped the population here would be skewed toward top-tier social skills or at least receptive. But I don't care about the down votes... Everything I quoted from Corey Wayne is working out extremely well for me. I'm miles beyond my previous relationships before I discovered his material.
