Men Talk Just As Much As Women

Unbelievable? But it is true, said a study led by psychologist Matthias Mehl of the University of Arizona:
"The data suggest that women spoke on average 16,215 words and men 15,669 words over an assumed period of, on average, 17 waking hours."
Other interesting findings are:
"Men talk more about technology, work, money. They also use more numbers," he said.

"Women talk more about fashion and about relationships."

And a amusing yet real comment:
"Sometimes you find a stream of words but people don't say very much."

"You just talk and talk and talk."
