LONDON, (Reuters Life!) – Women communicate better than men and actually talk less, researchers said on Friday.
Men speak more words than women in a day, but have a weaker command of language in social situations, use the same words repeatedly and pay unconvincing compliments, British researchers said after studying how men and women communicate.
Manchester University researchers found that when conversation centred on serious issues such as current affairs men and women used similar language, but they differed widely when it came to chit-chat in social situations.
The women in the research commissioned by British female-friendly insurance firm Sheilas’ Wheels had superior communication skills and used a wider variety of words in social situations, while men struggled with their command of language.
