Talking Gene!
 
Studies have shown that women have a larger talking gene than men. Women need to say 2500 to 3,000 words a day to feel normal. Men feel normal with 500-1,000 words a day. So don't blame them for this natures thing.

When women are silent it's because they are mad. When men are talkative its because they are angry or its feeds their ego. It's just nature.

However, this may account for why more men go deaf in old age versus women.

Whats been your experience with natures reality?

What? Say it again. LOL
I'd say the study is spot on correct, in my observation.

Men talk just as much as women when around other men. On the other hand, they say way less around women because they know that whatever they say is likely to get them into trouble for no apparent reason.

"I golfed with a hilarious 78 year old man, and he was dishing out life tips the whole time. The most DGAF guy I’ve ever met.

He tells me after the round 'don’t talk to me in the parking lot, my wife is picking me up and she thinks I went deaf 5 years ago'.”

It would seem logical , Women are the more social of the binary , so more interacting with others would be the logical result

I thought it was because men's brains are further from their mouths than women's are, which makes it more difficult to form sentences.

2,500 words? My wife hits 10,000 before I finished my morning coffee.

While the claim that a "talking gene" is larger in women is inaccurate, research does indicate that the FOXP2 gene, which plays a role in speech and language, is more active in girls than boys

So true....

I'm in the minority I guess. My boyfriend is the talker and I'm quite happy not saying much.

To quote Abraham Lincoln …
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

What does "social of the binary mean"??

May I add that men tend to shut down when they don’t want to deal with something? And women tend to talk less when there’s no sense in talking to the wall? Just my observation.

Same with my lady and I. For me, it is my ADHD driving it. I find so many things fascinating and I cannot help but share that joy with those around me. Unfortunately, most others do not find the things nearly as fascinating as I do.

Does not stop me. :)
