I have come to the conclusion that some women talk mostly about nonsense.
I know this might not come as a surprise to many men out there but generally women tend to fill up their time by talking about things that have no relevance to the how the day has gone or is going.
I’m sorry this may well offend some people but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out we men actually have a point to our stories.
A typical conversation between two males will involve them talking about an actual incident that has happened.
If at any point we run out of conversation we will simply walk away, put the phone down or just say, ‘Yeah, okay then.’ ‘Yeah, okay’ is a sign that we do not want to talk anymore and you should leave. At no point will we try to fill in time with ‘hmms’.
Women meanwhile will tend to concentrate on the situation that did not in fact ever take place.
I cannot spend more than several seconds on a phone talking to someone before I am compelled to make an excuse hang up.
Women can talk for hours about nonsensical things – it is called chattering.
They can go on for ages discussing whether this colour may match that and whether it might be good to start planning now for a situation that may never happen.
I do not chatter.
I am not one who likes to talk unless there is a point to the story.
There has to be a beginning, a middle and an end to the story or the complaint, otherwise I will soon loose interest.
I think the secret to extending the conversation has got to do with the fact that women generally agree with one another all the time.
Well, most women do.
By agreeing with the other person one is able to encourage the person to keep talking.
This agreement ‘deal’ is the key to everything. Break that deal and all hell breaks loose.
