    There is a gender difference that has been found between the number of words each gender says, on average, a day.

    Men say a lot less words per day (7,000) than women (20,000).

    Funny enough, while men may say less words, they THINK about sex more often per day than women do.

    Guess men say less words because they're thinking more of them without saying them out loud? LOL Alternatively, they just let their wives do all the talking. LOL

    Bcos, they think or imagine more than the persons who speak out spontaneously.

    This may be because the brain does not responce so fast and till the time it responses, the chance to say goes off. But generally this people are good listeners and very sensitive, so never make fun of them.

    I think that there are two kinds of people. Ones that believe that what they have to say is important and then those that listen and learn and process what they hear. One is as important as the other

    Better to keep quiet and be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

    some dead guy said that. Ben Franklin or Abe Lincoln.

    Some people are natural observers. I am like that. I like to feel things out.
