When it comes to conversation, husband and wives often have problems that close friends of the same sex don't have. First, they may not have much to talk about, and second when they do talk. misunderstanding s often developed that lead to major fights. our research concludes that these problems are particularly resistant to solution. Not only do men and woman like to talk about different topics, spoken language serves different function for the sexes.
Our findings are based on responses to a nationally distributed questionnaire, in-depth interviews and observation of same sex conversation. we found much variation within each gender and no verbal absolutes to differentiate the sexes. but whether we look at topics of conversation or at the role language plays for each gender, we see enough difference to explain why men and women are, to use Lillian Rubin's book title "intimate strangers".
one hundred sixty-six women and 110 men, ranging in age from 17 to 80, returned a questionnaire asking how often they discussed each of 22 topics with friends of the same sex. for some topics there is little difference work, movie and television are, in that order, frequent topics of conversation for both sexes. on the other female friends report more talk them do men about relationship problems, family health and reproductive concerns, weight food and clothing. Men's talk is more likely then women's to be about music, current event and sports.
