Why do women always talk more than men? (Guangzhou Yang Qiwei) Have you ever noticed that in real life, women always talk more than men? Have you ever wondered why women always talk so much? Now, let us listen to the analysis of experts. An expert in health care explained that after scanning the brains of men and women, it was found that women's speech and language abilities account for most of the brain area. In a day, a woman can effortlessly speak anywhere from six thousand to eight thousand words. Men can only speak a maximum of two thousand to four thousand words a day. Statistics also show that working men have basically finished what they have to say before going home in the afternoon, while women still have 4,000 to 5,000 words left to say! No wonder many couples are unhappy because of women’s nagging. I have several female friends who are also the "talkative" type. Their husbands are middle- and high-level leaders. Since the men deal with various matters in the workplace during the day, they have already talked enough and they are not so willing to talk when they get home. The ladies finally got together with their husbands and had so much to say, but the husbands did not want to say much. Over time, these ladies organized themselves, We go to stores together, go shopping together, drive together to climb mountains, and go on outings together. Since their husbands are busy at work, often travel on business, and have many dinner parties, they just have fun on their own. They have endless topics to talk about when they get together. They talk about family, children, husbands, fashion, houses, and food. They can't get enough of it. They find a good outlet for themselves. From a biological perspective, little girls generally develop language skills earlier than boys, which is similar to other functions. Men’s brains are designed to solve problems. Most men "talk when they have something to say," that is, they speak when they want to explain facts, information, or solutions. But women are different. Women never need a reason or any purpose to chat. The way of "speaking" is also completely different from that of men. Women "talk" to get closer to others. To put it simply, if she likes you or loves you deeply, if she readily agrees with what you say, or wants you to know that she accepts you and that you are important to her, she will talk to you; on the contrary, if she does not like you, she will not talk to you. A psychologist believes that women's talkativeness has the effect of hiding their true feelings. But most men cannot guess that what lies behind a woman's seductive words may be just trivial things. As for a man, whenever he has something to hide, it must be something important, be it sex, money, or a major event. He will never hide small things like what kind of paint to use in the kitchen or how to do his hair. Another American sociologist believes that from a communication perspective, women's talkativeness makes women more amiable than men. Because in the family, especially in the two-person society of mother and child, the mother-child relationship that goes hand in hand makes mothers more talkative than fathers, because to educate children, they must talk and talk more. Experts believe that in most cases, women tend to speak instead of act because their space for movement is much smaller than that of men. But men force themselves to take action to change their situation and achieve their goals. Since men's natural structure determines their urgency to act immediately, this greatly limits men's use of language. Men's higher aggression is not conducive to amiability, while women's natural weakness and cultural suppression of their aggression make them easier to talk to. However, the most important reason why women talk more than men is the biological fact that women are closer to children than men.
