How can you go to work for eight hours, come home and then spend at least two hours describing what happened in the previous eight?

I don't know, but I wish they'd STOP!

'Why don't you ever tell me about your day anymore?'

'How the hell would I get a word in edge-wise?'

Women have a hard day, they want to TALK it to death (along with you)......men just want to forget it ever happened!

I prefer to bundle up all of that rage into a teeny, tiny, little ball that will unleash its fury at any random time over the next few years.

Look for me on an upcoming episode of "Cops", trying to explain away the rage and the rock from underneath my tongue.

I don't know?

Probably in the same manner that some men can spend an accumulated 7 months 22 days 16 hours and 42 minutes of time talking about 3 hours of football that happened 12 years before.

Kind of like that.

I think it is a maturity thing. Normally women, say, over 30 don't do this kind of stuff.

Oh, I've found that women friends will talk to you for an hour, over the phone, about the previous half hour they've spent at the bar. You're getting off easily, my friend, with the 1/4 time discount! I get a time multiplication! :))

Women can't talk if you're kissing them, maybe that will lower talking time.

Maybe the same reason they keep bringing up that thing you did 12 years ago....every 6 months or so....

Yea, like we TRY to talk to women about that....

Now, back to a similar thought - since we DON'T try to talk to women about something that happened 12 years before for hours on end .... can't they get the hint and talk to their girlfriends this way.

Reminds me of the book (from memory) by a lesbian who spent a year dressed, made up to look like, and acting like a man.

She even went on dates with women who thought she was a man.

She said that women talk to men in ways they would never talk to their girlfriends. She described how they would go on and on and on and on about the most minute details that were so boring and of no interest to her that she compared talking to other women (who thought she was a man) that it was like having a root canal without any pain killers.

And that is from a woman who only dates women - while they thought she was a man.

So, it's not "just our opinion" - google it if you'd like.

I agree. In general women over 40(I am a proud one)don't have the same needs as some of the younger women in that way. My confidence has never been better and I have no shortage of ways to relieve stress. lol

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm Samm?:)) Do you want me to show you what I was like in my not so mellow 20s? :twisted:

lol Ya just get tired and choose your battles much more selectively. And you learn. I don't want to listen to him bellyache daily so I am fairly certain incoming female(lips moving blah blah blah) is no better for him.

Like I said,that's what sisters and girlfriends are for. My girlfriends that is not his! :))

That IS what girlfriends are for! Right on Dreamy! Remember that study that estimated that, on an average, women speak 6,000 words a day and men speak 1,000? We're just different critters when it comes to communication needs. And, usually men are not a good choice if a gal needs to 'talk it out' about something. ;)

That is a little complex compared to the central point of my comment. I was actually simply referring to your statement "I have no shortage of ways to relieve stress." ;)

My opinion is if a man doesn't want to listen to me talk (just as I would if HE wanted to talk about something) he needs to get the hell out of my house.

Women have to talk, it's in our nature, you men have the weight on your shoulders then you fiddle with your John Thomas and all is good, we women are still on the page when you started fiddling!We have ground work to make up.

Sometimes the analysis of a situation is far deeper and richer than even the time it takes for the situation itself to occur :).

I wouldn't know, I've never done that.

My ex-husband used to ask me about my day after work, and my replies would be:

Good

Fine

Ok

Busy

Crappy

Rough

End of subject.

Then I would cook dinner, feed him and my daughter, have her do dishes while I did some other chore and then either read, watchTV or play on puter.

In the end, he didn't like it that I didn't communicate enough.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Undoubtedly that was prior to you being a Moderator on Hannity. I'm sure that the response now... every day... would be "FANTASTIC!" and your hubby would cook dinner and do the dishes...

;)

He would cook when home too...we each had our specialities. He was an OTR and I hate talking on the phone, LOL.

That reminds me, I called someone the other day and her 4 year old answered, I thought it was adorable and was looking forward to talking to the Mother about how adorable the kid was answering the phone, the Mom wasn't there, but when I said to the husband how cute the kids was he just said "yeah". I told my husband and he said did you really expect the guy to talk for a 1/2 hour on how adorable the kid is LOL.

They've obviously never studied my husband. The man talks on the phone ALL day long. But trying to get him to tell me anything is like playing 20 questions.

I don't know the exact situation for your homelife here, and I respectfully decline to speculate on it, but there IS a very frequently occurring situation when I want a woman to communicate more than she does:

When she's upset with SOMETHING I did (and I don't know what that "something" is...)

Ladies often go "radio silence" when there's some offense that I committed.

Nah, it wasn't anger directed towards the spouse, it's that I really had nothing to say, LOL.

I worked in a law firm, couldn't talk about my work per se, and am just not one to talk bout my feelings.

We had watched Men are from Mars Women are from Venus and found, I was from Mars wanting to escape into my cave after a rough day.

I don't talk just to feel better. Also, if I do talk, I'm not talking around the issue to get to the heart of the matter. I use less words and get straight to the point.

A joke my sister emailed me last week:

Man driving down road.
Woman driving up same road.
They pass each other.
The woman yells out the window, PIG!
Man yells back, BITCH!
Man rounds next curve.
Crashes into huge pig in middle of road and dies.

Thought For the Day: If only men would listen

Hey, we all need some time after work to unwind, am I right ;). I didn't mean to say that you were doing that, only that some guys might interpret it that way.

Ladies, sometimes your silence can be deafening :lol:
