Male, female talk

Postby wolonpanda » May 1st, 2006 8:16 pm

i think it would be great if you could explain the differences between the way men and women talk
e.g ashita and boku
he who laughs last............... thinks slowest

Eeep....
You mean there's a masculine and feminine way of saying things?
D'oh, I thought the French were the only ones who did that!
I was all excited to stop my French studies and get away from that stuff.

There's even more than one kind of male talk. I have a friend who is still stressing out over whether he's a "boku" guy or an "ore" guy.
