I linked something that actually debunks this earlier in the thread.

Guys on average speak about as much as women. Guys tend toward extremes - a lot of words or very few words - more than women do.

Guys tend to be less verbose then women, and being an Aspie male tends to make this behavior more pronounced.

I know what you mean. I feel like that's one of the things that people (guys in particular) take as a challenge though, like if I say "shy" then they want to draw me out of my shell. Then I might get started on some topic and see their eyes glaze over & I think "I told you so". lol.
