I think men say less words than women, but in general terms, on average, because I know some talkative men and boy although I don't know any silent girl or woman.

But I hate generalising, I think generalising is a big mistake, it is the source of many unfair things, generalising is a plague, generalising is easy and then the damage provoked by it it's almost impossible to amend.......

Enough emotionally charged language Hitchhiker? :P
I have to agree with you, yes, I think women use emotional language more than men, in general terms at least in this environment we , posters, live because world is huge thing, how is the talking-behaviour of men and women in the tribes who are living in Dhurua (India)?

Do men use more swear words than women? Which are their favourite ones? Do they have to do something with the opposite sex? Do they use them more when they are among members of their own sex? Could we have an exception, here, Hitch? This post is meant to analyse men's language. Purely taken from real life, Hitch.

Elena: Yep, of course you're right, it can be dangerous to generalise. My examples and thoughts are observations from my life and experiences (and that book!). God knows what, who and how!

However, and I know this is a terrible thing to say, but i LOVE to generalise when it comes to us guys. No offence, but in my whole life I've only ever met 2 guys who don't seem to follow the usual patterns we all do (out of 1000s).

I don't think, however, all men are ‘bad’. I think there are plenty of examples from both sexes of bad behaviour. There is no way you can say 'men lie, women cheat' or something. You'd just be wasting everyone's time.

Hey Hitch,
I did go through that book couple of times and I completely agree with you its a good stuff book, and moreover not based on gossips but scientific research and facts.

Hi Hitch and Maj

You two are funny.
But I agree that there is no way to generalise women and men. And also I think they do speak different lanugages like Hitch was mentioning earlier with the translations. Hittin close to home on that one.

Svetlana, do you not like women or perhaps not get along with them? It would seem so.... just curious.

Hello there, I am a woman, and these are a couple of things that I have noticed about men:

In their relationships with women, men always want to feel like they are in control. Also, pointing out that a woman is good looking (especially to other men) seems to make them feel masculine, so they do every chance they get.

One big thing I noticed though, if a woman recognises one of her character traits, she will try her best to change. A man won't even go as far as recognising it, he will remain in complete denial!
Men think that they are perfect the way they are, why is that?

Hitchhiker, I'd like to know why you think we should celebrate our differences. Also, if you don't mind, I would like you to point out something specific that you like that women have and maybe men don't or have less, and also vice versa (about men). Please I would appreciate it, thankss.
