this is a confirmed observation with a solid base of back up from the many books/tv programmes/newspapers/word of mouth information that i've gathered. women talks way more than men. and i believe if the above sentences in italics is typed by men, it'll probably be, women talk too much. hurrah.
which is why, what women will probably say during an introduction will be, hi im jane, please to meet you. while for men, a classic example would be; ME TARZAN!
this particular issue my friend, is certainly a no brainer. ask your male collegues how lunch was and he'll probably reply, "BURP. great!" well men grunt and definitely uses sounds of all kinds to convey their messages. and the women will probably say, "nice! do you know that the beef was marinated for 10 hours before they grilled it and blah blah blah..."
details my friend, sinks men to the deepest ocean. and while they're on the verge of drowing from your verbal vomit of a gazillion vocabulary reservoir, they'll probably be thinking, "hey i just discovered that my toes are interesting, they look like mushrooms." how do i know that? because jon is usually doing something close to that example. just that he doesnt observe his toes, he gives a blank stare and his mouth is usually opened a little, enough for the fly to stay in and a build a dam. and his eyes! he'll fit in nicely with that zombie from tales from the crypt. thanks for listening huh.
then comes the reply after an explaination. my dad is a perfect example of how men reply. after a thousand word explanation on how delicious the chup chye bng is, he replied with a sound like grunt that sounds like orh and okay. which sounds like orh-ey. sigh. sometimes i hope that they can appreciate by spewing more words like, okay, thanks for sharing or sure thing, lets go there soon. geddit? well at least the men i know doesnt replies me with the ultimate answer K. because that will result in a head injury with me K-ing them in the head.
im not saying that all men are like that. i met my fair share of men who talks like rambo's record killing but with words only. one of them whom i shall not disclose his great name is one of them. when he's on a sugar rush, it's a death penalty online just watching him type on msn. i honestly think that my msn window is about to explode. and frankly speaking, i do enjoy it just that being on the receiving end of his sugar rush deliverance sometimes forces me to enter the space zone and i just do what the men do. space out.
i guess there'll always be many communicative differences between men and women even with the the rising no of books teaching men and women how to communicate. we can improve but the dna that God decided for men and women is already fixed. so live with it germaine. and jon, prevent the dam from builing in your mouth, close it and at least pretend to look interested =p
