It's official women yak wayyy more

[gizmo1979]

then men!a study showed that on average women say about 7000 words a day,while men say about 2000.That's 3 times as many words.No wonder I can't get a word in edge wise!!

[flvegan]

1. That's because women are not only smarter

but are also more articulate and more likely to talk through differences, seeking to understand before being understood.

Right ladies?

:evilgrin:

[gizmo1979]

3. HAHAHAHA.

That's funny.Oh you weren't joking.Men need very few words to express the same thoughts.

[tjdee]

2. That's because we have something to say.

Men should be so lucky that women want to talk to them at all!

:hide:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. i think women have to repeat themselves several times

before shes heard!

men are not the best listeners :P

[gizmo1979]

5. That's because

of the special drivel switch we have in our heads.When we hear drivel we tune out.

[VelmaD]

6. NO...when y'all hear...

requests to get up off the couch and help around the house y'all tune out. :P

[jpgray]

7. Spelling skills also take up valuable space, I'm told

Like our lessons in microcosmic social Darwinism from grade school dodgeball, or something.

[gizmo1979]

11. What did I spell wrong?

[jpgray]

12. "Here" instead of "hear"--you'd hate to be called homophonic, no?

:hi:

[gizmo1979]

18. Where?

[jpgray]

20. You've edited, but it was originally in this sentence:

When we hear drivel we tune out.

The "hear" was originally "here."

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. i think theres a switch in some peoples heads

that just tunes out good sense


honey....you are drinking too much (said in triplicate)

honey...you need to clean the house (said in triplicate)

etc

23. John Prine addressed this on his newest album

The Other Side Of Town.
<snip>

A clown puts his makeup on upside down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown

You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town.

My body's in this room with you just catching hell
While my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell
You might think I'm listening to your grocery list
But I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half ... way there

A clown puts his makeup on upside down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town.

I'm sittin' on a chair just behind my ear
Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer
When you get done talking I'll come back downstairs
And assume the body of the person you presume who cares

I'm across the river on the other side of town
In my mind I'm on the other side of town

[Allenberg]

8. Oh my.

[Orsino]

10. If nothing's wrong, there's no need to complain.

We get to live with the ladies (we who swing that way).

They have to live with us. 'Nuff said.

[evlbstrd]

13. I've been told that I talk too much.

By women.
Well, not by my wife.

[gizmo1979]

16. You're no help.

[evlbstrd]

17. Sorry.

It's the gift of gab. They won't let me near the Blarney Stone.
