Remember how studies showed women talk three times as much as men? Um, never mind.

Actually, it will be interesting to see — and the authors note this — whether the trend holds up with age. I suspect it won’t. College-age guys talk a lot because, well, college students talk a lot of crap. And, college men are trying to get laid by college women and think talking a lot will help (it doesn’t).

As I get older, I find an increasing amount of my male-to-male communication consists of watching the same football game or buying someone else a beer.
