Ever here the joke about the husband who was looking through the paper when he came upon a study that said women use more words than men?
Well there was a married man who read in a magazine that, "Men use about 7000 words per day, but women use 20,000". Excited to prove to his wife that he had been right all along when he accused her of talking too much, he showed her the study results. The wife thought for a while, then finally she said to her husband,
"It's because we have to repeat everything we say."
The husband looked at her quizzically and replied,
"What?"
Now isn't that just like a typical response a man gives his wife? I must admit that I do that quite often to my wife. Well we have all heard of the studies that concluded women us more words per day then men. Yea, yea, I know about the study that was done between 1998 and 2004 by the "British National Corpus" that concluded men and women speak about the same amount of words in a day. My only problem with their study is that they did it on College students. Show me a college student that doesn't talk a lot, regardless of gender. Oh, here a link to the study I mentioned that I disagree with. You need to register and sign over your freedom if you want to read the study, I did and I read the study so I know why I disagree with it. (just kidding about the loss of your freedom, but you do need to register if you want to read the study)
Anyway, my point isn't to debate the accuracy of the BNC's study so much as I wanted to bring to the table the evidence I found that ends all debate upon which gender uses more words. This study proves that women not only use more words than men do, but that they were also born using more words than men. Unfortunately for men however, it also proves that fathers train their daughters from an early age to accept the fact that us men will shine you ladies on regardless of what you say.
Check out this video and see if you agree with me that women are born using more words than men.
LOL, that was so cute.
My wife talks too much sometimes also, but I am just butter in her hands, and when she pisses me off. All I can think of is Billy Joel's song, "She's Always A Woman",
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
repeat CHORUS:
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--
bridge & repeat CHORUS:
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me ---- (click the link to see a great YouTube video)
My wife is my life, if I ever lost her I would rather be dead. That being said whenever we argue I cannot keep up with all the things she throws at me. Half the time I am still trying to find an answer to her first question or accusation while she is hitting me with number ten.
My wife has a good understanding of the Kings language and she knows how to use many words in a very short time that makes it difficult for me to even think that fast. So while I am still thinking of what happened, she is ten miles down the road on another subject.
Men work well under pressure, but put an angry or pouting woman in our way and we go mush. Look what Helen did to Troy, Eve to Adam, Jezebel to Ahab, Delilah to Samson, Cleopatra to Caesar, Cleopatra to Antony, Jeannie to Tony (I Dream of Jeannie), Sam to Darrin (bewitched), and who could forget the way Lady domesticated Tramp?
Hey guys lets face it, we may rule the world, but they have all the power. And that is because, while men are trying to impress them about the world we conquered, women are confusing us about the roses we stepped on along the way, or flattering us with those beautiful sweet smiles that can make us give up the secrets to our power.
Also, women do not fight as a rule, they discuss things. So while us men would come to blows and then later on a have beer while discussing the fight. Women talk and talk and talk some more. They also learn how to hurt with words because they normally don't fight physically. They can truly cut a man’s heart our of his chest and show it to him before he realizes he is dead. All this with words.
And they obviously learn it at a very young age.
