You've answered your own question Some, not all But that's often a case of perspective of the person listening. Mood can play a part in attention span and tolerance.... as does your interest or attraction to them Now if your question was 'do some women (over)think too much...... we'll 😄 - Posted from rhpmobile

Usually end up pistols at dawn, but the question was asked and so here goes. My job entails working for lengthy periods with a variety of different people of both genders in fairly close quarters and yes, the ones that just CANNOT SHUT THE FUDGE UP are almost exclusively women. *** I do not know why I am putting this caveat in here as it will not help avert Those That Lurk from hurling me into the Pit Of Gnashing Teeth, but I am not implying that all women are chatterboxes or any such, it is just that the chatterboxes are almost invariably women ***

Just those who can't hold a conversation not about them and their life and proverbial shit. Some men talk to much too. Some men also overthink too much. Ey DG

Some women do, certainly not all of them though. It's a personality thing, not a gender thing. Some men talk too much as well

No offense to anybody, but the people that you usually talk without drawing breath are boring AF. Truly, they don't even care you are not listening. I make no effort to hide that I am only half listening, they don't care at all!!

Some also come with no filter and volume control. But it makes things interesting

But, I talk a lot too. Some might say too much.I have a female friend who talks at least as much as me....and when we have a "conversation", it's on!But we get along well, and just interrupt each other when we have something to say.It works best when we're talking, not texting or messaging, because she's faster than me...and I'd never get a word in otherwise.

And some men talk too much too. Always interesting to find away to quieten them down.

I talk to much, if in a conversation I realise the other person struggles to get a word in, I make a conscious effort to shut the "f@#k up"! - Posted from rhpmobile

Of being one that talks alot, I am loud and my filter is often minimal But, to some degree, I am actually quite shy and at times this is a product of my nervousness. Or, sometimes, I am just really excited to be in particular people's company, so I talk alot, akin to nervous giggling.

I get really nervous that I just start rambling on about nothing, as I'm usually very quiet until I know you. Awkward silence isn't very sexy as soon enough, you ask that dreaded mood killer.... "So......do you like stuff?" - Posted from rhpmobile

talking is great. Discussion is even better. But some people need to realise that listening is more than waiting for your turn to talk.

As long as the person talking is respectful and the listener is in the mood. Everyone has a story at times. Respect is all anyone wants in a conversation. If the listener never spoke is that good enough for you, putting it on the other foot? All about respectful connections, as life is a two way street. Unless you are a complete controlling ass then don't talk at all he he he... - Posted from rhpmobile

An introvert who fails miserably at small talk would how I'd describe me. Unless I've something in common with someone we can talk about, my 'conversations' would quickly be mistaken for a mime convention.

And the only thing worse than a woman who talks too much with no substance, is a man with a motormouth. Empty vessels make the most noise. 😛 Talkative people make me feel like I'm being held hostage and I'm cornered into the awkward role of acting politely interested when I really am not. 🤣 I have empty vessel days, and then some days I bore colleagues and friends to tears with some interesting scientific / economics facts that I'm excited and animated about, but no one else bothers nor give a flying squirrel's ass about. I simply pretend that I'm giving a lecture that no one is interested in and I blitzkrieg-bombard my poor captive audience with dry facts. I like to suddenly throw in a dirty/absurd comment halfway to gauge who's listening too. 😛

...two ears and one mouth for a very good reason. Interestingly proportional if we stop to think about it?

Quoting 'Meander' People who talk at me instead of to me. It's like they're giving a presentation, and the fact I happen to be their audience seems almost coincidental. I find with people like that it's all about them hearing themselves talk rather than considering the other person. forgive me for saying this but you sound like my mother - the above is exactly what she would have said.

Communication is mostly about LISTENING. TALKING too much is a usually a function of a lack of LISTENING - Posted from rhpmobile

I admit that I have been told to zip it at times, but in my defence I think at times I am hyped up from work and trying to do too much at once so I am still in speed mode. Overall, I would describe myself as more of a listener than a talker though. I think my question on the day was related to a few women I work with who really talk a lot. I have to listen to the difficulty they had getting the kids to school, what they cooked the night before, how they WORM THE KIDS!!! Something I didn't even realise people did. I don't mind listening but someone without kids listening to that every day is boring really. Apologies to the woman who got upset with my question. You may feel I am not showing respect by tuning out. But how much respect are those people who talk none stop without hardly asking anyone else a question showing others?

Gender has nothing to do with how much people talk... So to speak. As a woman myself, I'm a hell of a lot quieter than other women I know. Mainly coz I'm shy and not as social as others... And it all boils down to the individuals personality. That's it. And I beg to differ because I know a lot of men that love to talk, and talk and talk. Then there are others that are quiet and reserved like myself. In short, everyone is different regardless of gender :) - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'AnnieWhichway' I find long posts are the equivalent of talking too much. This can also be applied to the frequency of posting

Quoting 'CucknShells' Some people that talk all the time about nothing. I don't think they can handle silence. When they are talking they are not thinking. In that they don't have to listen to the negative voices in their head. My dad is like this (among other things). For an introvert like me it's very draining mentally and emotionally to be around people like that all the time.

I guess it all depends on the subject, say for example if l'm telling a guy what l would like done to me sexually, then of course you can't shut me up lol or if l'm talking about my passion for songs and music, l tend to talk and talk however if you ask me about general stuff about myself, then l will generally shut up coz its hard to rave on needlessly about your own persona when the listener may just not be into you enough to bother to know. We are all guilty at times of small talk, sometimes its because of nervousness and then we can also do the idle gossip thingy and talk for the sake of talking, which can be very annoying if you are not part of the conversation and just happen to be in earshot of it! As women generally tend to gossip more than men, then l guess then the answer is yes, but gee I've heard just ad much talk come out of guys sitting in a pub nattering away about nothing! I reckon if you think the one you're with is talking too much, then have the courage to say something, ask if they would like to hear you say something lol they'll soon get the hint. If its only you one on one listening in on a conversation, and its annoying or disrupting you, you can always ask politely for the folk to move along, if you are unable to do so yourself. Talking is how we generally communicate, and l reckon we should all just shut up at times and listen to our inner selves, along with replacing talk with touching and feeling and then we would all benefit lol - Posted from rhpmobile

I'm constantly told I don't talk enough. Apparently empty it makes other people uneasy. That's not something I understand as I don't find silence confronting or uneasy or annoying or any of those things. To me to be able to sit in comfortable silence with someone speaks volumes.

I think men would talk more than women and ramble on about themselves and job.. I do like a man who holds a conversation but not about him all the time... Partner and I have been in a situation where we were meeting a couple to play and he talked non stop for 6.30 hrs so we did not get to play ....never again - Posted from rhpmobile

I hear you. And if this level of sanitisation is gong to become the norm when posters come out with both barrels blazing and then get upset at the reaction they generate, I'm done here. Time to find something more rewarding to spend my membership fee on.

I work with a guy with no volume button and no filter. and if he is in a good mood he will not stop. He's funny, but sometimes too much. Another woman I work with jeez, she tells the most inane stories with extreme detail and once you get cornered its almost impossible to escape from her clutches. She literally backs you into a corner. Its like an episode of The Office. I have learnt, No eye contact and put the headphones in asapIf they engage, shake head, pull confused face, shrug and point to ear buds. Its an effective strategy. My most loathsome over talkers of both genders are the people with a martyr complex who constantly winge about their life without every looking for a solution. Kill me now.

I think it's personal preference. If I like a woman and she is engaging then I can sit there and listen for hours. If I think she is full of it I turn straight off and don't listen at all. I have one woman who everyone (including herself) says she talks a lot but I am drawn to her every word. I can talk to her for hours and there is never a dull moment when talking to her. - Posted from rhpmobile

Most people talk to much, to the point of me wanting to scream "WILL YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP". Some people should really just try and listen more, you'd be surprised what you'd hear and it would definitely make the world a better place.💋

Some people just talk too much to the point people turn off. Some insist or command you listen to them and that doesn't work too. they get mad when ignored as people just tire of it. Yes we can All talk too much, too often or hardly. With or without substance. Men or women. Just the mood. Some are always in the mood. 😉

I love silence. I don't even have the radio or music playing when I am at home alone. Whether that is because my work is very demanding and full of interruptions through the day so that on the weekends when I am home I like silence, quiet time, abit it of zen. Different to my BF who always has music playing. Noise to occupy the mind as some of you have said. Interesting point.

...who attracts talkers ? Don't matter where , the mall , shop , street , club, bar, seems I'm a magnet for a chat. Mainly older folk but not always.. Guess I'm a good listener, which I can be , but if I get bored my mind quickly wanders off . So to answer the OPs question.. It's not only some women' but some males' are just as bad when it comes to talking about themselves. These ppl usually don't want to hear what anyone else has to say... so I just as quickly tune out...

The human species in general talks to much and usually only ever about themselves. The two ears provided suggests the human should listen twice as much. - Posted from rhpmobile

For me it's all about what they're saying. Irrespective of gender, if someone is interesting, intelligent, and eloquent, they can talk all they like and I'll happily shut up and listen. If it's small talk, gossip, tedious shallow details of their day, or the latest Kardashian controversy, I will tune out immediately. I do get very annoyed when talking about topics that I am an expert in (at meetings for example) and I can't get a word in because of some motor-mouth know-it-all (non-expert). Some people would learn a lot if they would just shut up, listen, and observe... - Posted from rhpmobile
