Why Women Talk More Than Men - Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29

NEW YORK -Guys, you probably know your girl talks a lot more than you do.
Gals, are you frustrated that he always clams up and seems to have so little to say?
This used to be one of life's little mysteries.
But it turns out there's a scientific reason for what could be one of the most frustrating differences between the sexes.

University​

of Maryland School of Medicine researchers say women's brains have higher levels of a language protein called FOXP2.
The

study​

also says the average woman speaks about 20,000 words a day. The average man speaks a mere 7,000 words.
Fox's Sharon Crowley has more details in this video report on the explanation... and whether couples are buying it!

i don't know my wife tells me i never listen,,,,"or something like that",,,

Women are just interested more in life and enjoy engaging more. I feel dead when there is no one to engage with.

 

[Jullianna]

I must have a shortage of that protein... I love quiet.

lol Oldest idea in the world... why women so often speak, think, or act more quickly than men. But it's not always for the best.

They didn't include me in the study , I would have thrown the curve.
I love to talk, I talked to my cleaning lady for four hours the other day.
I have on occasion realized I backed someone into a corner because I was talking to them, literally.
I love to talk.

Is this why there will be no women in heaven?

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

FOXP2, eh?

Well, i think i may have TOO MUCH of this protein in my system, maybe? XD

And it's probably a mutated version that's in me, since i usually spout a lot of craziness the whole time XD

But then again, talking and typing or writing down my thoughts are way different, right??? Maybe another kind of protein controls or influences my overexpressive tendencies?

Whatever the protein, i just know i'm quite crazy whether it needs curing or not, you guys be the judge (although someone i know said he'd prefer me not cured at all XD and i totally agree. Lobotomy is frowned at, and antipsychotic meds are pretty expensive, after all. Plus, electroshock therapy leaves me looking not so pretty afterwards XD drooling and tonic-clonic seizuring just isn't my thing).

Men talk less because they cannot get a word in edgewise.

Many men are married...not much verbage in, yes dear, and, here's my check.

When a salesman came to my house when I was a kid, my dad would start talking when he came into the door, when he left and if he was dimb enough to wind his car window down, all the way out the driveway. His mom should have called him Kathleen....Chatty Kathy.
