Tater: To anwser the OP. it is because it takes women over twice as many words to "get to the POINT"
There are quite a few men and women who will agree
with you. I prefer a silent type man, that way I won't have to
say more than a few words. If I know him well enough,and he knows me just as well, then he won't have to ask for too many directions, as we already have a good idea how everything works, and he and I know where we are headed.
