They are naturally more social and care about maintaining relationships unlike us guys who just get to the point and are a bit more independent from our male friends.

Answer 13

I think we just like to be more expressive but the answer below me is very funny. We like to have our thoughts and ideas heard and therefor  we cant shut the f*** up sometimes.

Answer 14

This is a serious answer, not a jokey one that you might have been expedting. Back in the age of prehistoric man, when humans as we know them were not fully evolved, we were "hunter gatherers" As the name implies, that means that we hunted animals and gathered berries and fruits to survive. In the daytime, the men would go off and hunt animals (deer etc.) and the women would go off and forage for fruits and vegetables to eat. The men would have to hunt in absolute silence:

1) If they found something, they would have to avoid alerting the animal to their presence

2)They would have to not alert the other men, so that their animal wouldn't be "stolen"

When the women went off, they could talk, and communicate. They used the time to talk to each other and learn from each other to better their chances of survival. In the evenings, the men and women would return to their dwellings/caves and eat. The men would be tired from running after animals all day, and concentrating furiously on the hunt, so they would keep talking to a minimum. The women would not be as exhausted after their day's work, so would continue to chat and socialise. Mankind has continued to evolve like this, and now, as a result of that, women tend to talk more. So the answer is genetic, and there isn't much that you can do about it :)

Answer 20

lol...good one bob!!!

I think that it is because the majority of men don't want to talk about feeling and stuff like that. They would rather bottle everything up inside. Women on the other hand like to get it out.

When it comes to everyday talk I think that women just like to let you know what is going on with them. Most men don't care to let people know what happened to them that day.

At least that is how it is in my relationship.

Answer 21

Not all of us do so stereotyping is incorrect.  Some men talk alot and some are quiet as well.  Maybe some women feel they have to make up for the untalkative man so they talk more.  Maybe if men talked more women would talk less.  Someone has to keep the conversation going....lol.

Answer 22

Do you really think thats true?  I haven't noticed that, actually.  I know a farm wife who talks a lot, but she has nobody to talk to all day while her husband is out working on the farm so when she gets a chance to talk she does talk a lot but thats understandable because of her isolation on the farm most of the day.  But she's the only woman I can think of that talks noticeabely more than men.
