Talking:males and females?

Question

why is it, that men in general only talk about things if they NEED to be spoken about, they don't really talk for the sake of talking. And why do woman feel the need to talk about anything and everything?

Answer 1

Men don't really need much, they're easily satisfied. Women, on the other hand, need to socialise a lot, and let out their emotions, etc.

That's just the way we're built, I guess. For more information, ask God lol.

Answer 2

I think women are more open about everything so they tend to talk about their feelings and things more then men.

Answer 3

People in general do not have a lot of varied interests, and typically men and women have very few common interests (beer, the state of the toilet seat, etc.)

Women, in general, do not feel the need to talk about anything and everything... I have known many women who had no interest whatsoever in talking about most of the things I've been interested in. Likewise, women, in general, like to talk about things that are important to women, in general, and not to men. This is why most men do not speak to most women about most things.

There are, of course, exceptions to these rules, and the exceptions are how great friendships and relationships form. I think everyone should make an effort to have more interests and to be more interesting... that could help to close the communication gap between men and women and allow everyone to enjoy life and each other's company much more.

I don't think CammieCo's comment was offensive at all. Your question assumes things that aren't true. Men talk just as much as women do, just not necessarily to women, because women often don't care about anything we want to talk about. And women who "feel the need to talk about anything and everything" really don't, they just feel the need to talk about what they care about and they don't care if anyone is interested.

Answer 4

That is since they are possessive about many things...

Answer 5

I guess that's the way it is in your experience. I have way too many friends who can't shut up both male and female. I have very quiet female friends who only speak when they need to and guys who do the same. Some of the biggest gossips and b*tches I know are male and I'm yet to meet the guy who'll get more than a sentence out of my sister.

Answer 6

Because women are mental.

I'll never understand why women like to talk when it isn't necessary but don't like to do housework when it is necessary.

Answer 7

That's just one of the many differences between us and them :)

Answer 8

Why is it that people feel the need to generalize? There are billions of men in the world, how many have you met?

Are you seriously that stupid? You think men never have casual conversation with friends/family/co-workers and that there's no such thing as a shy/quiet woman?

Seriously dumb...

(No offense but Im just saying what needs to be said here okay...)

Answer 9

Good question, my husband could go all day long without saying a word if I didn't start talking first.

Once in a blue moon, he will talk his head off but it is very rare. At those times I have to tell him ,ok, that's it enough talking.

Usually he will only talk if he had a couple of drinks, he doesn't drink often so.

On the other hand, my son is a big talker and a big BS er.

He has found the perfect job for himself, a casino floor man in Vegas, he can talk as much as he wants to the players while watching his tables.
