Alright, lets talk here! Of course women with SA are likely to not be very talkative, its SA! And there are studies that show that women are more talkative, so your wrong there. Plus, its just completely obvious! I worked in a pizza place with 3 women, and 2 other men. The women are constantly talking, and the men every once in a while. I know this is just one piece of evidence, but this is generally how women act. Its not just a stereotype, and most stereotypes of people are either true, or exagerated.
When i was talking about a man or a woman crying on the street, I meant to say they were already with someone, not that they were just alone crying. So in THAT case, then it would be more appropriate to see a women cry. You just dont see men crying in public, its just not acceptable!
Again, women being talkative is no stereotype, and people wouldnt be "amazed" to see a shy or quiet woman. Like I said, by nature, women are generally more social. I would think this is because they connect more emotionally with people, but I dont know the scientific explanation for this. If an woman with SA believes that being talkative is just a "title" and they feel pressure to live up to it, then that's their problem. Women without SA don't feel they have to live up to anything in that respect, it's just natural. And that's the same way that a woman with SA is shy or quiet, it's natural for her.
Wow, you're a feminist, huh? Many women get by on just their looks, and it has nothing to do with being "sexual objects". Ok, lets put this into perspective. A rose is beautiful. A kitten is cute. A baby girl is pretty. Does that mean you want to engage in sexual activity with any of those things? My point is just because something is beautiful, say like some women, doesnt mean that its beautiful just because of whatever kind of sexual fantasies you have about it. Women just have natural beauty, like many other things in nature. It's also very true that some attractive women dont want to be treated special because of their looks, and thats alright. The same goes to men though, attractive men do have it generally easier than fat bald ugly men.
"Archaic males"? If there are two sides of every coin, then in your opinion, what is an archaic women? What does she look like? How does she act? The appearance or sexual attractiveness of a women isnt all that she needs to excell, she needs to have a good personality as well. If there is a really hot women, but she's a bitch, then most men would be turned off by that.
Before you go on and try to counter-argue anything ive said, please take this into consideration. I've noticed that your from the UK, two very different societies. I dont know about the social norms there, as you dont know about them here, so there may be some differences in the way women and men act. They may be huge, or tiny, who knows, not me!
So yeah to anyone, including you fairy, who has any counter-arguments then please go ahead! I still feel ive answered the question for everyone!
It's not "OBVIOUS" that women are more talkative than men... Sure, some women are more talkative, but I've known men who talk so much, women couldn't get a word in for them. I knew a guy once who used to call me and he wouldn't even shut up for 2 damn seconds so I could tell him I needed to get off the phone! He just went on & on about stuff I really didn't care about/didn't want to hear about. I've never heard a woman talk as much as he talked.
I don't see anything wrong with a man crying in public. Everybody cries. I don't care who you are or how "tough" you claim to be. I'm a female and I try not to ever cry in public, but I have before, and I cry alot when I'm alone.
It makes no sense for you to claim that women are "more social"... almost every guy I've known has been social/outgoing. It's damn near impossible to find one who isn't...with the exception of people with SP...and even the guys I've known with SP, alot of them are more social than I am. My ex said he had SP, but anytime we were out somewhere he'd talk to people when it wasn't necessary for him to talk--he just done it anyway. And how come all the guys I've ever known have asked me "Why are you so quiet?" --even the SP ones... or "You don't talk enough"....some guys even say I'm so quiet, I make them uncomfortable. Dumb guys, but still....all guys have something to say about my quietness. None of the female friends I've had have ever asked me why I'm so quiet, that I can recall....and I always remember things like that because it bugs me when people ask stupid questions like that.[/quote:9051c4b608]
Of course there are men who talk alot, that's just obvious. Did i ever say only women are social all the time and men are always quiet? I think not! When men are together, sitting on the couch, eating pizza, watching football, theres not much chatting going on except for whats on the game. Sometimes are more talkative to women then they are to men, because they know women like to talk.
Most people would find it weird to see a man/boy/teenage boy crying with his friends, i dont know about you. It has nothing to do with sensitivity or toughness or anyhting like that, it just doesnt happen, men arent supposed to be shown crying, that's it! It's also not about seeing anything wrong with a human being of any gender to cry, that is just not the point.
Women are naturally more talkative, that doesnt neccessarily mean outgoing or social. If you listen to a female-female conversation vs a male-male one, there will definitely be more word exchange betweed the girls, and also they will probably be talking faster, which partially accounts for the more words.
Like i said, of course there are very talkative males, that's also something thats obvious. Maybe your ex with SP talked to people when not necessary so in order to learn how to overcome it by facing his fears. Like I've said plenty times before, it is natural for a woman to be talkative, just like its natarual for a woman with SP to be silent. And i also said there's nothing amazing about a silent woman, it's nothing even worth noting. Maybe you were making those guys feel uncomfortable, i mean you have to talk at least a little, but thats a whole different story. Your girl friends most likely dont comment on your quietness because they are more emotionally bonded with you than a guy would be, and they know that saying anything about it would just make you upset. That point just further strengthens my argument that women are naturally more social due to the fact that their bonds are more emotional than a man to man bond. And of course there are exceptions, like with everything else. Also, I dont know if your from the UK or not, so that could make ah huge difference.
