#5 But the men talk only about quality issues; baseball, beer, NASCAR, hunting, getting laid; while women; wait a minute; does nagging actually qualify as countable words?????

#11 Elegantly efficient, Nimble Spemble. I've had as many intense -- and presumably word-count laden -- conversations with eg. soccer dads as soccer moms, though generally on different subjects. Key for me, I learn new and interesting things from both.

(Are we equal yet?)

#12 First of all, this is a study of college students, not men and women.

B: In order to get to this result in a real world study, they would have to count grumbled responses to honeydews.

4th, and most importantly, it doesn't address which sex starts the conversations the second I walk in the friggin door.

#13 This sounds about right. I probably say "Yes, dear" about 8000 times a day.

Good on you Rambler.
Many men wish their wives were so good at saying yes.

#15 Dunno about that. I don't talk much around the house compared to my wife. That woman could talk the ears off a elephant.
Fortunately she is such a sweetie I don't mind.
