A "self-proclaimed feminist" psychiatrist has finally thrown in the towel and admitted her fellow females do indeed talk more than men, The Daily Mirror reports.
Dr Luan Brizendine of the University of California, who's published her shock findings in The Female Brain, says the average woman works her way through 20,000 words per day, compared with just 7,000 for the average bloke. She says "women devote more brain cells to talking than men", and cites fundamental differences between male and female brains as the cause.
Brizendine - whose findings are based on her own clinical work and the findings of more than 1,000 studies - reluctantly admitted: "I know it is not politically correct to say this but I've been torn for years between my politics and what science is telling us. I believe women actually perceive the world differently from men.
"Girls arrive already wired as girls, and boys arrive already wired as boys. Their brains are different by the time they're born, and their brains are what drive their impulses, values, and their very reality."
Indeed, Brizendine says said differences "can be traced back to the womb, where the sex hormone testosterone moulds the developing male brain".
Specifically, "the areas responsible for communication, emotion and memory are all pared back the unborn baby boy".
Accordingly, males "chat less than their female counterparts and struggle to express their emotions to the same extent" - which is hardly news to long-suffering females.
Brizendine elaborated: "Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion, while men have a small country road."
And when they're not cruising their eight-lane superhighway of emotion, women are getting a quick fix of verbals because "the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high".
Men, on the other hand, beat women hands-down in one area: contemplating rumpy-pumpy. Brizendine noted "that while a man will think about sex every 52 seconds, the subject tends to cross women's minds just once a day".
To put that in perspective, "men have an international airport for dealing with thoughts about sex, where women have an airfield nearby that lands small and private planes", as the good doctor put it.
Some scientists reckon, however, that Brizendine's conclusions have driven her down a promising-looking dual carriageway only to end at a collapsed bridge of scientific proof. Oxford University linguistics professor Deborah Cameron insisted "the amount we talk is influenced by who we are with and what we are doing".
She concluded: "If you aggregate a large number of studies you will find there is little difference between the amount men and women talk."

men will always be confused when it comes to dicision making
That's true sis, but from personal experience i think despite that we should let them make the decisions. Cuz when we make the decision they follow it unquestioned and then when you feel a bit lost and want to refer back they seem to have no idea what was decided in the firts place. Either one making a decision, the men will still be confused i guess.
I think the main point of this post must be made.... its a fact that people will go in hell for one reason mainly....and that is there toungue. If i can urge Brothers and Sisters if they are talking about someone and if it is not good than dont talk about it at all. I hate back bitting

I am convinced that women only speak once in their entire life.
It begins the first time they open their mouth. So far nobody has been able to find an ending point. It is assumed that it ends at death, but that has yet to be proven.
Why do I have this ominous feeling that I am now in deep trouble?
JOKER, well i guess if you're married then yes you're indeed in trouble bro.

AND.....an average man has to be taught 'language' all over again...more then 10 times a year!.....scientists say it is because they dnt talk much....so nothing goes into their long-term-memory....nope...not even language!
Look please i can see you are burnning with angar i was joking sis. Please dont do anything....

I was only joking. The phrophet said the best of us is those who are good to their wives. So brothers treat your wife with excellence!

Now that we have all had our fun. Let us stop and think of a few things. Men and women have seperate qualitiies. Each of us has something to contribute to the betterment of all.
Marriage exists because we need each other. There is not a man alive who does not have a woman as a mother. There is not a woman alive who does not have a man as a father.
True we may poke fun at each other and sometimes exaggerate each other's limitations, but over all, we need each other.

Worse than married. I live with my Youngest Daughter. She now thinks she is my mother.
Hahaha. Too funny.
I find that women often times repeat themselves because they save the most important part of what they are talking about for when they are walking away from you and whisper it. When they later ask you about it, you have no idea that they said it. Drives me nuts.
Then again, my wife has made me a much better person. I definitely eat healthier, even if I dont want to.
