    Sex-linked lexicology.............

    Myth?Someone said to me today,well asked the question "Do I ever shut up"?I know I speak in my sleep but theres an assertion that women chat more than Guys women speak an average of 30,000 words a day? Compare this with an average of 12,000 a day for men?Is that true?Just wondering thats all,I mean we have all heard of the mean moody sullen types right?But what about the twitters,chatters,and generally loquacious guys?Do you chat more than your spouse?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    If you ask my husband that question, he will answer a very strong "hell no!"
    My husband is definitely the quiet one in our marriage, but don't all men always are??

    That's great arthur I suppose with you and your wife's case, it's a draw then as you are equally thesame and more of complement each other

    Women are normally the verbally verbacious ones,why do pinays always shout on a mobile phoneand their stock answer is always without exception gagamiting ko ang phone nang matagal My god even though they have just left their friends ten minutes ago they still feel the desire to ring them and continue the chat about absolutely nothing But on the flip side I have met couples where the guy stands in the background and keeps schtum,not because he is the strong silent type,more to do with the fact his wife has him trained and he isnt allowed to speak unless invited to do so and how do women breath when chatting staccato style,is it like playing the didgeridoo breathing through the nose and simultaneously breathing/chatting through the mouth? One of the true puzzles of nature

    As a matter of fact, i think it's women who actually invented the "TELEBABAD' phenomenon, lol

    When my wife is speaking in Bisaya with her friends I sometimes think she's going to collapse. I sometimes say to her "take a breath". Somtimes I wonder if she could hold her breath underwater as long as she seems to talk without breathing....... If she could she would probably hold some sort of world record.

    It appears that when Filipina's a speaking to each other in their native tongue, they are under the impression they are going to drop dead within the next minute and so they have to get through as many words as quickly as possible.

    Between Kevin and I -he is the one who has more things to say...especially on the argument.

    I used to say to me that his a nagging man. I try not to say much during argument as I dont believe in adding flame to the fire. But when I start talking then he knows he will be in trouble
    There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.

    And here's me thinking it was just my wife who was doing that

    I always put it down to her saving "load" on her phone.
    Funny that she always spoke to me very slowly when she was in the Philippines and I was paying for the call in the UK

    Have to hold my hand up and admit I am the chatty one mostly.
    Chel sometimes says I am like a chicken when I am trying to explain something in detail to her.
    I am not sure what that means but I am sure it is not nice to me

    Does this mean I am hen-pecked then

    It takes me half of my day explaining what these English expressions are to her also. The strain.......the strain........
