...women talk almost three times as much as men, with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man.
Women also speak more quickly, devote more brainpower to chit-chat - and actually get a buzz out of hearing their own voices, a new book suggests.
The book - written by a female psychiatrist - says that inherent differences between the male and female brain explain why women are naturally more talkative than men.
In The Female Mind, Dr Luan Brizendine says women devote more brain cells to talking than men.
And, if that wasn't enough, the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high.
Dr Brizendine, a self-proclaimed feminist, says the differences can be traced back to the womb, where the sex hormone testosterone moulds the developing male brain.
The areas responsible for communication, emotion and memory are all pared back the unborn baby boy.

Well, that's one way of putting it.
So now i can listen to every 3rd word instead of every other? SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!
LoL Great minds......
Therefore . . . not as many are left for other things! Yes, it all makes sense now!
I don't know, but if you find out let me know because I could publish a study TODAY on the color of grass.
Not surprising though I can think of at least one man, who if we aren't tied, outtalks me. As I often tell him, he was talking while he exited the womb and has never stopped.
Only 3x ????
I've had female co-workers like that and they simply don't shut up--ever.
Yeah, that was something of an oxymoron...
Hmmm...just let a guy TRY to use that as a defense!
"Oh honey, I can't help it that I didn't 'hear' anything you said...I was born that way!"
Only 3 times as much?
Chuckle.
My analysis: The average caveman had to be alert to guard against predators. the women could sit by the fire and chat, knowing they were protected.
The hairy cavemen said: 'Kill! Lion! Kill Tiger! Kill Bear!
The women around the fire said: 'I love your garlic necklace dear, and the way you do your hair...we have plenty of food this year, here have some more dried deer, and how has Grong been treating you, hmmm?
After the threads we've been on, I thought it was time for some humor! ;o)

I have a female coworker like that right now. Good GRIEF, she drives me batty. Must be awful to have to be talking constantly!
Given the barrage of verbal output, how can you sort out any logical arguments from the rest anyway?
