Think about when you have seen a group of women talking/chatting/gossiping. Notice how they can behave as a group. They can all talk at the same time yet somehow end up with a common understanding of topics. If listening closely the actual words often do not fit with the information that has been exchanged. There is a sub communication within and a common group thought framework. Information is exchanged with each other in the group via this mechanism. Very difficult for a man to follow and comprehend, and for those that can it is very exhausting. Usually, men will just go do something else because the group garble is hard on the ears.

No, women aren't from Venus, they come from Earth, as men do. There is no secret women's language, unknown and incomprehensible to men. Women just don't indulge in the ego-based willy-waving that preoccupies so many men. IMO.

Sure, not sure if we disagree or are on a different idea. It can be either. I believe many/most women use sub communication meaning that when they have an emotional idea it gets verbalized as something else. Other women will in some way be able to identify the real concept while men may be confused as they try to make sense of the actual words.

Chaser, are you understand the idea and disagree, or did my initial statements not convey the idea?
I think I understand. You suggest that women have a special way of communicating that men find difficult or impossible to understand. This is what I responded to, and this is what I disagree with. If you suggest that women have greater EQ,
as a generalisation, I would agree. If you suggest that women communicate differently to men, even as a generalisation, I would disagree.
The communication you describe simply accounts for non-verbal communication. Not all the communication is contained in the words. This is normal human social interaction. Your description almost sounds like men are autistic, and women aren't, which is definitely not so. Some of us are autistic, but it is not confined to men. Some of us are exceptional communicators, especially in the context of non-verbal communication, but it is not confined to women.
So this is my response: I think what you describe does exist, to some extent, but your assignment of it to a gender-based skill I do not accept. I see no evidence for it (being gender-based) in the real world. Do you?
