I have heard that a woman speaks, on average, about 7,000 words a day. A man, on the other hand, speaks about 1,000 words a day! That is a huge difference! My husband might speak 500 words a day, and half of those are just grunts! Is this the case with you and yours? Sometimes I wish my hubbie did speak more--he does with his brothers! Sometimes he will not even answer me, like he does not hear me, although I know he does. His reply to this is somethings are not worth the effort! I think this is why us women do so enjoy the company of other women! They say a nice visit with girlfriends is like a good drug, causing us to release endorphins into our brains giving us a warm and fuzzy feeling! I will support this, it is true! I love nothing more than an evening spent with my girlfriends, just talking!

Any comments? How much do your men talk? Does spending time with your girlfriends make you happy in a different sort of way than being with your man?? Any gabby men out there??

I definitely say at least twice as many words a day as my BF but since he only listens to about half of what I say, that works out well. Sometimes he calls me at work and interrupts my day and then I get to listen to him doing something other than talking to me like typing on his computer. I feel like I have to fill the space since he called me so I talk about my day until it becomes obvious that he is not listening to me at all. I know that unlike me, he can not multitask so I still have not figured out why he calls at all during the day. I often quiz him: "what did I just say?" and after 5 years, he has learned to at least come up with part of it. Men are weird like that. But two of my girlfriends are even worse than that. They both talk at the same time and interrupt each other and whoever else is talking so nobody really gets to say anything that anybody hears or to ever finish a story with those 2 around.

It depends on what phase my husband is in. He is manic/depressive so he is either like the Energizer Bunny on speed or he sleeps 22 hours of every 24.I talk to the cats and dogs or on the phone to friends and family so I don't feel as isolated when he is in the depressive phase which lasts much longer than the manic.

I am sorry to hear of your husband, drogheda. I have a friend who's husband developed this disorder in his late forties, which I believe is a very late onset. He was so difficult to live with and was noncompliant with his medication. She ended up divorced. It sounds like you are managing?

I bet I speak at least 1,000 of my daily 7,000 words to my doggies!

I think this spoken word deficit my husband has has made me look at some men with admiration. Take David Letterman. Not the most handsome man in the world, but he talks, and he's funny, and I am attracted to this!! Same with Matt Lauer! I wish my hubbie did talk more!

I wonder if for Italian women the average is more than 7,000 since our hands also do a lot of "talking".

Lol - I definatly talk twice as much as my BF does when we are talking to each other. BUT, he talks on the phone more in one day than I do in a month. I tease him all the time that he is worse then a teen-age girl. I HATE to talk on the phone - if I could do all my business on-line or in person I would be a happy person.

But, it was funny that this was posted today - we just got done meeting one of our new puppy families from Mississippi. I had talked to her on the phone and FaceBook before so knew she was a little bit of a live wire. When we got to meet the couple in person though he was very calm and laid back, spoke very slllllow and quietly and hardly spoke at all. Her on the other hand - WHEW!! - she was hard to keep up with. She would tell him to tell us something and then interrupt him to finish the story. Nicest people in the world but they were just the oddest couple. He he he. I definatly believe she spoke 10,000 to his 1000!
Live and let live.

Never regret anything that made you smile.

HAHA that is so true, I alway have so much more to say than my boyfriend. I think he enjoys it though because we are the complete opposite.

If it weren't for it, then that gizmo would be all you need as much as it should always be placed in a secure location. You've probably heard a lot of talk in the matter of spray white 90.
