Thanks Electric.  I put in the phrase "us men" , because you thought I was female.  You got that thought, almost certainly, from a previous post, where I mentioned being in bed with my boyfriend.  Well, us men get up to all sorts of things, such as getting into bed with each other. This is all OK nowadays, and we do it with great pleasure!

On the point about women talking a lot, it does seem to be a female thing to keep talking on and on, continuously.

As you rightly point in your excellent examples, men also talk a lot.

But the difference is this: men leave pauses in their talk.  Whereas women don't - their talk is a continuous non-stop stream.

You can see the truth of this, whenever a woman starts talking.  There are no pauses.
