a guy who talks too much is a gay(?)

Yes, Achilles. Only women will entertain and enjoy gossiping.Men, though, they might listen at times but they will not fuel it. And men, as I have observed in my family, hates to talk especially when they are mad.LOL Sad to hear you agree with my husband.:)

That is so so so not true at all. Men might not entertain gossip when they are dealing with women and they can be very quiet and seem unemotional towards women but I have seen firsthand and I see it daily that when you put together a group of men they don't stop talking and they gossip more than any women I have ever met! Where I work, we have tables to sit and have coffee. It is rare to see a woman sitting there. On a daily basis, there is a group of men that come in and sit and chat. They talk about their wives, local politics, people coming and going etc etc etc. They will sit for 2 to 3 hours a night and just gossip and talk. I go into other similar stores and see the same thing. When I worked in insurance, it was mainly the men who were the gossip kings...not the women altho some were. They were quiet to themselves at home and to their wives but not at all in the office. It was funny to observe the difference in their behavior when we had functions outside the office and their wives attended...night and day!

I noticed with my boyfriend too, eureka...he rarely talks when he is mad about something.I have to get it out of him and I end up the one talking too much..;)

Your English is very beautiful.

Now you are making me smile from ear to ear.. Thank you for the compliment. I am flattered.

Hello, Sheen.:) LOL. though I am convince that guys who talk too much are gays but I still couldn't help laughing reading your response. You have very well describe what a gay person is. He is, of no doubt, a gay.:) Yes, I do agree that sometimes, men do this to grab attentions. They don't want to be over shadowed by someone else's. This guy I knew of even hates it when within his group there's a man who seems to be the focus of attention and not him. He is resenting that there's someone who can compete with him.LOL Thank you, dear for dropping a thought here and for the friendship, too.

Well maybe things are different where you are at but here, the guys are talking about yes, politcs etc but they also talk an awful lot about other peoples personal business. They also talk about customers that come in and shop. It's not just a couple of guys. It's like a lot of guys.

I can very well understand your views ,Sid. Yup, I do notice that here in my country, too, but I doubt if they really do tackle issues about personal lives.It could be about politics, sports or just about anything that has to do with men's talk.Unlike the way women do gossips. And, yes, there are also gays who aren't LOUD in public. Those who are more decent and timid,I think. :)

Hi, Sid, I just check your profile and I saw you are from the US. I can say that then that this case depends upon one's culture as well. Here in the Philippines, men are more conservative and being talkative especially when it is about other people's lives is considered as not a gentleman's way. Maybe, in your country men are more liberated to act this way and it is very acceptable in your society.:)

Very correct , Emerillus.:) For me, a man who talks too much is a child who whines.A creatuer without backbone and full of insecurities. A pretentious individual who thinks he knows everything and yet he often finds himself unqualified to talk or ended up corrected by a wiser man....

Well, we can talk about guys who are liberated and do not mind being caught being themselves. Guys who do not bother what they say are often shallow and most of the time illogical. This is the reason perhaps why real men would evaluate their thoughts first before voicing them and if they believe tht those thoughts are nonsense, they'd rather keep it to themselves than be laugh at. As for gays, they will blurt out almost every thoughts they have for the purpose of to entertain and be notice. I sometimes would want to believe that you can always sense your own kind no matter how good it is in hiding the real person inside.:)

hELLO, sAQI.:) I'm not sure, either if it has something to do with the genetic composition of the female specie that links to being talkative.But,gays are always on the feminine side so they have the inclination to be like females, talkative.:) whilst men are more reserve and talking more especially in a negative way is deemed as not a gentleman's act.:) You, too, keep smiling.

You are more experienced than me on the topic of 'gay' and how to look for a 'gay'.. I do not have such experience......... (Nonetheless, next time if I need to find out if a man is gay, I will keep your tips in mind).

Hi, dear. Just the same, burning fuels here in mylot to make myself and little head busy.:) I'm glad to see you here again, though. I hope things are also well with you.:) Anyways, this is just a presumption of a friend, dear, though, sometimes I'd like to believe it is true. For me, a gay or a true gentleman is always measured by maturity in thoughts, deeds and words. There are even self confessed gays who acted more manly then those who claimed they are real men when confronted with greater responsibility. That is in the deeper sense. But in a glance, there are undeniable signs that a guy is a gay , just watch out for his words and the way he delivers it. There's always a difference between real men and those who are pretending to be real men.:)

Though, it may seem normal for gays to talk a lot but it is not a natural thing for a real man to do it. Gays have reasons to do it, and one is to entertain but men do not have to do it, right? And yes, it is a pain in the head to be with a man who talks a lot....

I must admit that girls are more talkative than boys.We seem to always have something to say. LOL Albeit there is an exception because in other cases there are also boys who are talkative than girls. It could be their environment where they grew up with wherein people talk a lot and especially when such boy has been surrounded by women all his life.He gets to be almost like them. Yes, I agree.Most likely but not always. :)

Hello, Shibham.:) Yup, I must agree that both men and women love to talk. We all want to be heard and we all want to share a little piece of our thoughts. However, there are distinguishing marks that separate real men from those who are pretending to be real men. They way they deliver every words spoken, their intentions and the way they react . There could be a lot of difference somewhere. And, yes, society must post a great influence to be straight or gay.:) Thank you, dear, for dropping a thought here.:) Have a great day as well.:)

That's how innate character and education can make a difference, Ybong.:)We can not stop someone from talking too much because he was born with it. Whilst education can tame the beast inside a person.:) Nevertheless, who are we to tell then if he is a legit straight guy or not? As long as a person is responsible to handle the responsibilities given to him, then, I'd say he is man enough regardless if he talks too much or not and even if he is a self confess gay.

That is precisely the point, Deriellevc, they do not backbite or gossips like women do. They may share an opinion or two but do not encourage each other to share more. That's why men has a lot of stuff to talk to because they do not really gossip but just talk about it for a minute or two and then, jump to another topic. Unlike women, we can talk for hours about one single topic especially if it is sooooo juicy.LOL Thanks, dear.:)

He is just like my father. A MAN OF FEW WORDS BUT WORKS A LOT.:) I can relate to your scenario. men acting like not men at all.:( True, they whine a lot instead of doing something to make the situation better. And, at first attack of trouble they come hiding at the hemline of their female friends or relatives who are superior (more stable ) than them.They are scared as a mouse and all the guts and balls they are so proud of showing when things were still ok vanished in thin air. Men like this has low EQ level, too...

You said it, Men do it discreetly than women and gays do.:) Yes, those who have tongues and lips do not hesitate to talk when prompted at any given circumstances. mEN AND WOMEN, STRAIGHT OR NOT, LOVE TO BE HEARD.:)

Yes, not all guys who love to talk a lot is a gay. No. But there is somehow a thing that separates real men from bogus men when they talk. Just like you said, real men are more reserved because they would rather evaluate their thoughts first before voicing them out especially in the company of women.They'd rather zip their lips if their thoughts are not significant or important or if it is offensive while bogus men do not care about those things. They just say anything they want to say.:) Thanks, Shaggin.:)

Well, we can not judge anybody just by that. There must be a lot of reasons to really conclude a person's personality.Unless, we know the person a little too well, hen, we can have a slight hint if he is gay or guy.:)

Hi,Hannie.:) This is a presumption about a particular person, it may or it may not be true for others.:) I'D agree with you that environment is one of the factors that mold a person's personality.And yes, surrounded by many people who talk a lot will give a person that tendency to develop such habit also. And yes, he may not be a gay at all.:)

Not yet, Chipesterkhan. You haven't named names yet so I can say you are gossiping.:)

Not in that way, Kingbobby.:) Politicians need to talk because they are required to, they owe it to us. However, if it is TOO MUCH, then maybe.LOL If it is beyond the permissible and decent issue, then by all means, talk. But if not, leave it to your spokepersons or the lawyers. They know what to say best.:)
