At risk of sounding stereotypical here, it does seem like women gab a whole lot more than men do. But according to a recent study, POWERFUL men talk more than powerful women do. Ah.
Here's the latest, brought to you in the Administrative Science Quarterly by Yale faculty member Victoria L. Brescoll:
--In a study of United States senators, more powerful male senators talked a lot more than less powerful male senators. But powerful female senators did not talk more than less powerful female senators. What gives?
--An analysis of a similar experiment suggested that powerful women hesitated to talk more out of fear that they would be seen as less likable, "out of line," domineering and too controlling, and that they would lose power and be less effective. Was this study taken in the 1950s or what?
--In a third study, talkative male CEO candidates were rated as more suitable for leadership than less talkative ones, but quieter female candidates were rated more highly. Ladies, it seems like we still have a way to go toward that glass ceiling -- even in Congress!

I'm going to presume you're a guy. You're saying women talk the most...
Do you even REALIZE you probably spent a good chunk of your time DEDICATED to writing this ESSAY of a response with so-called "proof"??
Please return to your hole in the ground and shut it.
Meantime just relax as the doctor will be with you soon.
As for not being a part of my perceptions, I am afraid I don't understand. If I didn't perceive you, I could not have responded. Without perception, no Sodahead, no internet.
Sorry for taking things to my "next level", but it's a cool level, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the level boss. Good Luck! （ ´∀｀）
However, In a social setting with an equal amount of men and women, it again depends on the individuals, but the outspoken man will get the preference as a males voice is louder and most often more easy on the ear.
This is not an opinion question, my answer is fact.
We make up for it by not lying about our appearance with make-up, we also do not travel to the toilets in groups to talk dirt about our company.
