A few well placed nods, grunts and "really?"

A red flag is always raised when a female partners starts a sentence with "I have been thinking.."

Coz you know it's a lie, She's female?

Does pretending to listen and pick every 10th sentence to answer count?

After all I am a good listener. LOL

My pet hate is her listening to the phone conversation and saying in 1 sec intervals Yeh, yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh Ad nausium.

Mine is when she is one the phone and decided to start a conversation with me, it usually starts with "Can you just..."

Well stop saying it then, she can harldy hear her mate on the other end.

If the gf just talked to her mates it would not be too bad. It is the cackling that passes for laughter that gets me.

I'd talk to the other half if she put the phone down and stopped ringing her mates...

I think men invented language, beginning with grunts for such things as 'danger', 'come here' and 'feck off'. Women extended and enriched this form of communication and used it to set up complex social relationships, or gossip networks. They try to persuade men to to join in these sessions because here they are undisputed king, and most of men's words are used trying to get out of joining in. An arms race ensued and Women's brains became ever more highly developed and wired for language and for other illogical ways of thinking. While I could believe women speak 15,000 words a day, I feel 7,000 is an exagerration for men, with 7 being closer to the optimum, of which 6 are grunts.

A husband looking through the paper came upon a study that said women use more words than men.
Excited to prove to his wife that he had been right all along when he accused her of talking too much, he showed her the study results. It read "Men use about 15,000 words per day, but women use 30,000".
The wife thought for a while, then finally she said to her husband "It's because we have to repeat everything we say."
The husband said "What?"

She's also good looking and has nice tits. I'll start the bidding for her phone number at £100.

£100. Way too high maintenance for me so she's all yours. Feel free to post some pics of the 'nice tits' for other potential bidders though.

Does "Have you started the dishwasher off yet love?" count?

You got her a dishwasher! You old softie!

My argument was that single people are emotionally stronger (read: bitter) becuase if you have a tulip day (e.g. at work) you're on your own and have to deal with it. Where as couples, especially those living together have someone else to support them.

It's so true - when I read this I got goose pimples
