I like your thinking Max. I have often theorised on this and my conclusion is it is all about control and insecurity. As we largely live in a patriarchal society women don't feel the same level of control with regard to their lives that men do. Feeling this insecurity they talk incessantly about any manner of shit so as to gain some sense of ownership over events and situations they feel disempowered by.
Or they're just gobby bitches.

Its a constant source of amazement to me how long women spend gassing on the phone. For me, a phone is an implement to make arrangments, nothing else. I don't want to know how my mates "are". I don't care about their day or their week. I'm simply not interested in their new haircut, or what shoes they have bought. A typical telephone conversation for me would be:
Me: "Pub tonight then ?"
Mate: "Yeah alright. About 8 ?"
Me: "Yup. See you there".
Done.
What in the flying FRIG can you have left to chat with your mates about when you meet up, if you've already spent the previous four evenings on the phone to them for an hour at a time ?

2 things I find REALLY annoying about female chat:
1. Talking while the telly's on - wait til the ads, goddamit!
2. Going out of the room but still trying to continue a conversation. Here, I'm barely motivated to listen at the best of times, so why would I want to shout my response up stairs or through several rooms??

This is particularly noticable at concerts. I mean, why do they go if all they are going to do is gossip ALL THE WAY THROUGH? And of course they have to shout to be heard above the music.
Last week while Stevie Nicks was doing "Rhiannon," I'm not joking but one of the women to my right shouted to the other one: "Do you know who the drummer's hair reminds me of. . ."

I work in a mainly female enviroment so don't have a problem with female chat. If you care to listen you might find that most are disatisfied with their sex lives. I think you are missing an opportunity

As a manager at work I try to get staff to use time efficiently. I currently employ my wife in my business so I can't see why she has a problem in fully utilising the opportunity afforded by TV ad breaks to discuss routine household affairs.
The 3 minute window should be sufficiently long to settle most pressing matters, i.e. birthday presents and cards, social engagements, childcare, weekend arrangements etc, but the way the wife prattles on we often overrun into Part 2. I've tried telling her to cut the waffle, maybe give me a Word document agenda but will she listen?...

A different kind of pasty
Thats a bit long winded for me Easy. I have a couple of mates whom I can simply send a three letter text message; FAP
It stands for Fancy A Pint, and usually means within the next 15 minutes or so.

I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to text messages I'm afraid pasty. I abbreviate NOTHING whatsoever, and write my texts in full, with correct grammar and punctuation. My texts are unique in that they take me far longer than a phone call would. A typical one might read:
"I would like to cordially invite you to partake in a session of alcoholic consumption at a local hostelry. I anticipate my arrival at our usual drinking establishment at no later than 20:00 hours, or 8.00 this evening. If you are so inclined as to reply in the affirmative, I shall of course ensure a beverage of your choice is waiting for your arrival. I look forward to your prompt response, and thank you for your attention."

I think this is a pretty good analysis. Many females actually looked pained at the slightest suggestion of silence in a room with company, this must be fuelled by some form of insecurity.
Many consider females to be better comminicators than males because they talk more, however if you listen to a group of females 'talking' they do not actually communicate at all but rather speak over the top of each, not actually listen and then pretty much misinterpret what was meant in the first place.
As someone else has suggested I just don't understand the content of female conversation and why anyone would be interested?
Honestly, the last time my mum came round she was telling my Dad and I about some oven gloves and a new dishcloth that she got from M&S - Did she SERIOUSLY think we could give a f***?

Two ugly old bags completely RUINED my train journey from East Croydon to Blackfriars this morning. Apart from the constant YAKKING, they really were very boring. At the beginning, one of them said very loudly "I WAS ON THE TRAIN LAST WEEK AND I HAD TO SAY I COULDN'T MOVE UP THE CARRIAGE BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS IN A BANDAGE. AND ABOUT NINE PEOPLE SITTING DOWN - ALL MEN - LOOKED AT ME AND NOT ONE OF THEM OFFERED ME A SEAT"
I'm pleased to inform you that a seat was not forthcoming on this occasion either. Just f*** off you ugly old crow. If you're not prepared to stand, then get on after the rush hour you stupid BITCH.

Oxytocin - the "tend and befriend" hormone is the short answer.
It's a reason not an excuse of course...

I've always thought (and while this is not exclusive to women, I find it is mostly the case) that the more people talk, the less they actually have to say. Having commuted to Londinium village for long enough to have to put up with too many other people converation than I care to think about, this is the conclusion I have come to.
