It's just a perception conceived as the female vocal tends to be slightly higher hence seemed to go on and on while the men has a deeper vocal that sometimes dipped so low it seemed they paused. But from experience, I think some men just can't shut it. Men are no less chatty than women.

I think men can be, but the difference I've noticed is that men <i>usually</i> come to the point quicker and more directly. The word count in this study looks to be close, but I'd almost be willing to bet some $ that the men covered more ground and came up with more solutions. In my experience women <i>generally</i> like to express more about how they feel about the situation. Where <i>generally</i> men feel they have to come up with a "fix it" solution to what the women are expressing. I'm still learning, but I often feel like coming up with a quick solution - to what seems like a plea for a solution to a story my wife may tell. Where she really just wants to express her view of the story. At first it was hard, but I have learned to take a few moments after what she says, and just repeat her feelings back to her rather than having a fix. Lord knows I have very few answers to life's questions anyways! This often results in a great peaceful and more of a 'oneness' time together following the conversation. For me, I just need to listen.
