This video reminds me of a joke I heard about a husband who was looking through the paper when he came upon a study that said women use more words than men?
Well there was a married man who read in a magazine that, "Men use about 7000 words per day, but women use 20,000". Excited to prove to his wife that he had been right all along when he accused her of talking too much, he showed her the study results. The wife thought for a while, then finally she said to her husband,
"It's because we have to repeat everything we say."
The husband looked at her quizzically and replied,
"What?"
Anyway, my point isn't to debate the accuracy of the BNC's study so much as I wanted to bring to the table the evidence I found that ends all debate upon which gender uses more words. This study proves that women not only use more words than men do, but that they were also born using more words than men. Unfortunately for men however, it also proves that fathers train their daughters from an early age to accept the fact that us men will shine you ladies on regardless of what you say.
Check out this video and see if you agree with me, that women are born using more words than men.
"Conclusive Evidence, Women Use More Words Than Men"
Hmph.
LOL I have never seen anything like that before in my life! Too cute!
Really?
Real cute Video Ping
OK, this was way to cute to pass up.
Is this proof that women are genetically programed from birth to use more words than men?
Women's Version:
Woman #2: Oh! You got a haircut! That's so cute!
Woman #1: Do you think so? I wasn't sure when she gave me the mirror. I mean, you don't think it's too fluffy looking?
Woman #2: Oh God no! No, it's perfect. I'd love to get my hair cut like that, but I think my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this stuff I think.
Woman #1: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I was actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accent my long neck.
Woman #2: Oh - that's funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take attention away from this two-by-four I have for a shoulder line.
Woman #1: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your shoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms - see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easier.
Men's Version:
Man #2: Haircut?
Man #1: Yeah.
:D Loved it!
I think it’s the wiring. The women in my family, without exception, do NOT talk much or like hearing other women babble. We do like to write, though. :)
Babies, now, they can get away with anything!
Cute and true. On of my ex’s, I would ask “What time will be home?” for example, and I would get, “Well, I have to finish these two things at work, and then I have to go by my mom’s house and help her clean up for when my sister comes up, and then, are we out of dog food?, I have to go by etc.etc.etc.”
The question was simple. The answer was always a ramble. 27 years later we are still close and it is still the same thing.
parsy, who knows women can not be domesticated
biggest thing about female verbalization is their urge to vent
which is why they rule here
it’s just how it is....don’t fight it
My wife uses a lot of extra words because for one thing she is prone to start off like an old Lily Tomlin routine where she keeps starting and restarting sentences without finishing one, she stops in the middle of a sentence until I get annoyed and exasperatedly say, “Yes, are you trying to say something” and very annoyingly she starts talking to me when I am involved with something else, it is as if she keeps silent as long as I am not doing anything important but if I see something interesting on TV or whatever she absolutely must start talking at that instant and the worst of all is that sometimes she goes into mumbling mode so that it is impossible to hear a word, all you hear is a low buzz, then she acts as if it is my fault that I can’t hear and understand her words. Many times I have asked if she is afraid that I will hear her.
My wife is actually a very sweet tempered person but the mumbling bit especially can sometimes seem like passive aggression. When I start to tell her something I make sure that I have her attention first and then I speak at a voice level that can be understood and I enunciate clearly, sometimes she does that and sometimes the exact opposite.
Brevity is the salt of wit. Shakespeare.
I have a bumper sticker on my car that never fails to elicit a response from people who see it:
“My wife says I never listen to her...or something like that.”
I even got pulled over one night for having a taillight out, and the first thing the cop said to me was not “License and Registration” but “I like your bumper sticker...”
Vent . . . . . . uhhh . . . vent . . .
Oh, yeah . . .
Like Mt St Helens . . .
and Vesuvius . . .
and Krakatoa!
For SURE!
Very accurate assertion, there.
I think it’s genetic . . . tied to the XX business somehow.
Yes it is, but RipSawyer my wife too is very sweet and normally even tempered. That is until I pushed the wrong button and I cannot seem to turn that button off.
We have had very few arguments in our 22 years together, but when we do I cannot keep up with all the things she throws at me. Half the time I am still trying to find an answer to her first question or accusation while she is hitting me with number ten.
My has a good understanding of the Kings language and she knows how to use many words in a very short time that makes it difficult for me to even think that fast. So while I am still thinking of what happened, she is ten miles down the road on another subject.
Men work well under pressure, but put an angry or pouting woman in our way and we go mush. Look at Adam & Eve, Samson & Delilah, Caesar & Cleopatra, Antony & Cleopatra, Ahab & Jezebel, and Helen of Troy who caused the great city state of Troy to be nothing more than a story by Homer.
Hey guys lets face it, we may rule the world, but they have all the power. And that is because while we are trying to impress them about the world we conquered, they are confusing us about the roses stepped on along the way, or flattering us with those beautiful sweet smiles that can make us give up the secrets to our power.
Also, women do not fight as a rule, they discuss things. So while us men would come to blows and then later on a have beer while discussing the fight. Women talk and talk and talk some more. They learn how to hurt with words. They can truly cut a man’s heart our of his chest and show it to him before he realizes he is dead. All this with words.
And they obviously learn it at a very young age.
