Science Quiets Myth of 'Chatterbox' Females

New research finding men and women speak roughly the same number of words each day is likely to get both sexes talking, experts say.

Researchers recorded the daily conversations of 400 university students in the United States and Mexico over a period of several days. They found that females spoke about 16,215 words each day, and males uttered an average of 15,669 words, which was considered a statistical dead heat.

"So, counter to stereotypes, there doesn't seem to be evidence that males and females talk at different rates, at least among college students," said study author James Pennebaker, the psychology department chairman at the University of Texas at Austin.

His team published the findings in the July 6 issue of Science.

Well-worn clich

Men and women may talk just as much, but what he says is important stuff.

I have always thought that men just don't think too much....

It's just sort of simple..... they just do it...


Sex
Lust
Desire
Sports
TV
Work.....

What is there to talk about?

Women on the other hand have to .... well you know... talk about all those things...

Then do it. ;)
