If you have a woman, forget about your remaining quiet for the rest of your life. The silent guy treatment works with other guys; it does NOT work with women. So be prepared to develop your conversational skills or understand you're gonna have a short and miserable marriage. And yes, a woman is not like a man.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
