I don't think men talk as much as women, but when we have something on our minds we'll get it out.

Men don't come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan. We're looking across the room at you, and we don't care about your hopes and dreams. We don't care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted.

Why don't men like to stop and ask directions? This question, which I first addressed in my 1990 book 'You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation', garnered perhaps the most attention of any issue or insight in that book.

For women, detailed conversation is our lifeblood, while for men it's just not as critical.

I wouldn't say personally that I have problems communicating with men - though I'm not sure what the men would say.

I'm attracted to guys who are really confident and make conversation.

I've long believed that if you understand how conversational styles work, you can make adjustments in conversations to get what you want in your relationships.

The less men think, the more they talk.

Let's say that, in reality, I'm basically very shy when it comes to men.
