Who is likely to speak first.....

Honestly, there can be no logical answer to this. On one hand you have woman, she who loves to gab sitting across from another woman. What gossip does she have? I wonder where she bought that jacket? Then on the other hand you have 2 men who don't care about gossip, fashion or what not. Hey did you see that game last night? Wow, man it was awesome. Can you believe Bush did such and such? Man, my wife is such a nag! I think it just depends on the people. Are all 4 of them outgoing? Are 1 or more of them shy? Are any of them deaf? Are any of them mute? Are they gay? or straight? Do they know each other? If they are sitting together then it has to be assumed that each set knows the other person they are sitting with. I would say that there is an equal chance that the women will start talking first as the men. If they are sitting together, they must have a meeting or are out to socialize with each other. Therefore, conversation probably sparked before they even sat down. :) This was quite interesting, thanks for the brain meld! hehehe Have a good one!

Even though women talk a lot, they are wary of strangers and usually do not make the first move with unknown people. And knowing that a woman might take it the wrong way, a man might not speak to a lady he doesn't know. Unless, both the men are introverts, I am assuming one of the men will start speaking to the other man first.

Hello deepak, This discussion can have many answers, but I think it all depends on the mood of a person. If person is internally happy and relaxed, then he cannot remain quite for long time, no matter man or women. But if person is worried and depressed and engrossed in his own thoughts, then he would like to sit in silence rather than indulge into unwanted conversation in which he has not interest at that time. It also depends on education and maturity of people. Usally educated matured people think twice before opening any conversation, while simple people may start any conversation just for time pass and then forget about it. There was a time when it was said that two women cannot stop talking........but I think time has changed.....you really cannot say who will break the silence first.

The women They always have something to share or ask and alot of times are more open than guys

I think its hard to say. I saw an answer that said maybe the women have something to gossip about. The men may want to talk sports. Not all women are gossipers - I have no interest in talking about other people or about fashion and such. However the women might want to talk about who won a recent football game - who knows without making a blanket statement about gender? Some men like to gossip and talk about fashion - and they're not necessarily gay. Who knows, maybe the men will talk to the women or vice versa. I think it all depends on who is shy and who isn't. Who feels like talking and who doesn't. How can we make this choice without making an unfair statement about gender? I could say women tend to be more verbal and social - yet they're are so many men who are just this - outgoing, verbal and social. So I can't really say. I would need to know about the personalities - the individual personalities of these people - not just their gender. Hey deepak - hope you're doing well.

In more likelihood,the Women should start talking first. But the Women may be from a very different Region or Age and Men may not have so many differences. So it just might be possible that Men start talking to each other. It is all chance & Luck .

Obviously it is women who start off with giving a half hearted smile to other women and keep talking instantly. Men give a doubtful look, if otherman responds, he gives a smile and I am sure whether they really start exchanging pleasantaries.

It honestly depends on the person if the 2 (men or women) are shy, then they probably won't speak to each other unless they see something they can talk about. I think this works with both men and women. My husband is a chatter box and I'm not, but studies have shown that women normally talk more then men. So you'll have to take in the rest of the surroundings. Where are the sitting? Why are they there? If I had to make a cold guess...I would probably say the 2 women since woman can relate to each other more.

It depends upon the characters of those 4 people. There are women who are timid and so they will not approach first whereas there are men who are aggressive and so they will approach first. And so it all depends.

I believe that the men will start talking first because they get restless a lot faster than women. One man will say to another, so have about those Dodgers, or Lakers, Knicks, or whatever sport is going on at the time. I know for me, I can be quiet around strangers for a while. Men don't have as much of a hard time striking up converstation as women do. Women tend to be more insecure in these situations.

since i travel in bus regularly i have seen mostly its the women who talk with another women even if they dont know each other..but cant say that men does talk with other men..They do but the one likely to speak first are the women.. on several occasions i have found my co passengers talking to me while travelling and i speak only few words as i dont feel much comfortable in talking to someone totally strange to me..

Well,ob my point of view,both of them will have the possiblity to speak first,it all depends Normally,I think the women will speak first maybe because they will have so many things to talk with.for instance ,the common family chores the children and so many topice they can choose . however, as for men they are more considerate ,they are more carefully in choosing the talking topics..

Hi DPK! Well, I think the men would start talking first. I think this way because men arent so competetive with one another as women are. Some women feel intimidated by other women simply because of how they look. Im not saying all, but in my experience this is what takes place. Men are too simple to let that kind of thing get in the way of holding a conversation. And lets face it, men always have sports to talk about! I guess it could be possible that each of them both speak with eachother! There would be no man or woman doing it first. But Im thinking your asking for one or the other here. Bay Lay Gray xx

hi i would say that pairs of women will start the discussions first cause womens are eager to talk share there talks and feelings and emotions with any one and if she got a women partner she will immediately start to talk as men can controll there emotions and feelings and will never say to any one unless he wants to and i would tell you that women cant be quite for much time unless she is upset or something have happened to her men can go without talkin but womens cant go without talking or without sharing there feelings

I think the gentlemen shall speak at first. This is common.

I think women will start talking first. Sometimes it can be the opposite. But, normally women tend to be more talkative than men. Well, it depends on the situation. Have a nice day!

definitely women. its because we are born with it, women are chatters. if you notice even in the powder room, we tend to chat with those people we dont know. women love to chat more than men.

I think the two unknow women would start speaking with each other first. Because the female compares excels to exchange , moreover they like exchangeing .In my impression,the man like silencing. Do you think so?
