Is this statement true about the way men and women communicate?

[quote]A woman can effortlessly speak an average of 6,000-8000 words per day, in contrast to a man; he utters a mere 2,000-4,000 words. A woman will talk about her problems out loud; she will express options, possibilities, concerns etc. Women perceive thinking aloud as being social and friendly, but men see it differently, he will think that the woman is giving him a list of problems that she expects him to fix, so he will become anxious or stressed out. That is where men get the idea that we are nagging.[/quote]

Sounds pretty exxagerated in terms of statistics and the rest are tired generalizations taken from books published decades ago. Relatable, though.

Anybody else say, oh yeah?

There's no way I talk that much. I don't see stating problems and concerns as being social and friendly. It's an interesting idea though.

I think men communicate more information with fewer words. When a man is telling me something he tends to stick to the point, just to get the information. A woman tends to add all sorts of extraneous and often completely irrelevant information. Men tell me they often give up listening before the woman gets to the relevant part. I do too sometimes. :(

These are only generalisations. I know men who can waffle for ages without communicating anything and women who can stick to the point, communicating all the relevant information quickly.
