    Why do women insist on talking non stop ? Have you a problem with silence ?

    Calm down OP, just because they wont talk to you is no reason to get upset.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    It's the same in any work environment, the men work and the women talk non stop, is it a natural thing ?

    We are experts at multitasking, can talk and work at same time, whereas men can only do one thing at the time, either talk and not work, stop talking and back to work, we are an amazing species.

    Haha I agree 100% this was meant to be light hearted, women do talk more it's a fact, I never said work less

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Cutie 3.14


    God theres an awful lot of yapping in here, can't hear myself think!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,472 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    I'm male and I can say that I probably talk more than any woman you've met.

    Yep, I'm one annoying bastard. Especially when drunk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 812 ✭✭✭Cleopatra_


    80% of suicides were by men last year. Maybe all the yapping is good for you and ye should take it up. Talk about all of the feelings.

    I would agree with this but most men are not like that by nature, it's seen as a weakness

    More women attempt suicide. More men are successful. That's what I've read anyway.

    Does a demonic talking skull talk more than most woman, that's what I'd like to know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,155 ✭✭✭blackcard


    Studies have shown that on average females speak 20,000 words per day while males speak 7,000 words per day. I reckon I speak about 1,000 words per day.

    Or, maybe the ops observation and the 80% figure are linked somehow.

    Maybe they killed themselves because they had to listen to all that nonsense

    I find if a woman is bending the ear off you the only remedy is to put your hand down your pants, have a good scratch and then a 5 second sniff of the hand Joachim Low style. She'll generally stay a good 5 metres from you unless she's into the whole crotch sniffing thing in which case ask her on a date.

    Women dont fart.
    They can't keep their mouths closed long enough to build up the pressure.

    Not all women need to be silent as they're not hiding in a wall cavity from the Waffen SS.

    Nope they haven't and they don't. That idea came from a book - IIRC the Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus one. A book chock full of inaccuracies and invention. The book was a best seller and that stat has been repeated in further books and in the media since. It also gained favour in areas like counselling, especially relationship counselling.

    Actual studies have shown that men and women use roughly the same number of words per day. Men showed slightly more vocabulary than women and the biggest yapper and the near mute were nearly always men. Men tended more towards talking about things, while women tended more towards talking about people. All told though, individuals may suffer from verbal diarrhoea or verbal constipation, but it's not based on gender.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    ^^^^^ Thank goodness. That statistic had me puzzled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,835 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    Simple and effective solution*.

    Put your willy in her mouth.

    It's just an adult version of a baby sucking on a soother.

    That's really all she wants.

    Talking; A load of women sitting around and talking. Going to the cinema; A load of women sitting round in a cinema watching a film, and shouting; a load of women shouting....and so on and so forth :pac:
