Women talk three times as much as men? Hey, and I also heard the sky is blue.
Women talk three times as much as men and liberals talk 100 times more than anyone else.

"Women are logical, but their emotions guide their logic."
I wouldn't go that far.
bttt
I think a lot of this stems from women's inability to summarize.
I could tell my wife, "I stopped and bought milk." But if she were telling me, she would describe the entire journey step-by-step, including how hard it was to park, who she saw at the store, and a re-enactment of any and all conversations she had while there!
She would do this even if I started the conversation by asking, "Did you get milk?" and all she had to say was, "Yes."
Sometimes she gets so wrapped up in the telling of the story she seems to lose all track of where it's supposed to wind up. There's no obvious arc to it, no sense that it's heading to a conclusion, and I have to interrupt her. I don't like doing it, but at some point I feel I have no choice.
Yeah, I buying that, when have you heard a woman voice anything while invoking logic.
He,he.
I like the Jeff Foxworth routine.
When a women breaks up with a guy, she has to spend the rest of the day talking about it with her best girlfriend.
When a guy tells his best friend that he's breaking up with his girlfriend, say at a gym, the friend simply says, "That's too bad, hey would you spot me?"
Comes from the caveman days, I'll bet.
Women-types spending their days near the cave, in the bushes and brambles searching for berries and seeds and nuts. So, as they keep talking, they
(1) tell everybody around they are OK
(2) can hear the kids and tell what the kids are doing
(3) the kids can hear them and know where to go for help and milk and protection
(4) the noise scares away the (unfriendly) nearby animals and bears and wild pigs and predators who would otherwise be eating the non-talkiative women-type.
(5) tell the nearby people (children and women) where they are - important if you can't see without glasses and in the bushes.
So a talkative blabby gossipy woman tends to protect the nearby women and children from harm.
OK. Makes sense. Quiet silent-type women get eaten. And can't eat as much since their neighbors are being eaten. And are more likely to lose their kids, or have their kids get eaten. Noisy women who smell nice and look pretty are well-liked, and able to breed more easily. Eat more easily.
Now, think about the guys, out in the bushes trying to sneak up on a deer or pig or wild turkey or squirrel. Or avoid getting killed by raiding tribes intent on theft and murder. Or to attack and kill a raiding tribe of warriers.
Noisy, talkative, perfumed guy who's overly worried about appearances or impressions or his clothes scares away the food. Scares away the other hunters. Alerts the target that men are present.
Irritates the other hunters.
Get shot himself. Or just excluded from the next hunt. In any event, noisy feminine type guys don't eat as much, nor as often.
Survival of the noisiest (woman). Survival of the quietest (man).

Any particular reason you're repeating yourself, Rob? Need a little more librium in your coffee?
Comparable thoughts about cavepersons in nbr 73.
Who? Me? What? Why? Where? Repeat myself?

And don't ever ask about a movie. Reading the script would take less time.
