Believe it or not: Men talk more than women
In my house, the women always talked more than the men. Although I'm no overly chatty myself, my mother spent hours on the phone every night, whereas my dad's conversations were very to-the-point and no longer than 2 minutes long. And in my own small family, I spend more time chatting than my partner, although the difference is only slight. Which is why I find it surprising that recent studies have shown that men talk more than women on average.
However, it also depends on the context -- women are more chatty when talking to kids or classmates, and men are more chatty when it comes to spouses and strangers. This seems to go against most commonly-held stereotypes, don't you think?
What do you think of these findings? Are you the chatty one in your relationships?

Oh yeah i believe it...my boyfriend talks far more than I do. You cant get him to shut up, he will talk to just about anyone and has phone converstations that go on for an hour or 2. Not only that when u listen to the other side of his phone conversation the other person talks for probably about 10 minutes of the hour converstation, with alot of it being yeah , uh huh, ok...etc
