When men get together，they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts．However，they talk about a lot，like their newest computer，how to repair their car，or even business.
Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women，jump to computer games，then continue to the sport of the season．They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting(吹牛)．Men seldom call each other to chat.
When man meets woman，he usually wants to make a good impression．Many single men try hard to carry on amusing，fun，and pleasant conversations．They use conversation to discover her interests and feelings in order to learn how to be attractive to her.
Some men，either out of nervousness or ignorance，spend most of the time talking about themselves，often appearing to brag about their achievements or talk endlessly about their problems or work．Even the quietest man talks to his woman when love is new.
When women get together，they talk about feelings and relationships，their work and their family．They enjoy talking but also want the give and take of talk， then listen. Women often call each other to chat．Conversation is an important part of most women's lives.
As relationships progress，however，many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk．This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says，“You never talk to me anymore．”Some men start talking．Many，however，mainly discuss their own achievements and problems.
When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects：feelings，family，relationships，friends and her work，many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves．Pretty soon，the man is back to staring at the television each night，wondering where his relationship has gone．The woman is talking to her friends，mom，sister，or neighbor，often about that very relationship and how she is hurting.
