Talk Is Cheap

A new study challenges and old myth.

USAT fronts, and everyone goes inside with, a new study that contradicts the stereotype that women talk more than men. Researchers used digital technology to record the conversations of almost 400 university students in the U.S. and Mexico, and found there was no statistically significant difference between the sexes. They both utter about 16,000 words a day.
Likely, both talk too much.

Anyone who accepts this 1)doesn't have much experience with women, and 2)doesn't have much experience with college students, the basis for this study's conclusions. Men and women (boys and girls?) in college have a lot on their mind. As they age, women have even more on their minds, and men have less.

No way I'm commenting on this.
