What do men talk about to each other?

That really depends on individual personalities, age, hobbies, education religion, culture etc. For example, when I was a JW, all we JWs guys spoke about were biblical matters.

This thread's been going on for a year or more, so I'll probably not add much with my comment.

But, I'll give it a shake. First of all, I do not concur that men talk about sex and women -- unless perhaps all parties are single. Even then, I really don't want to hear about another guy's sex life -- period.

Second, along with the first point, men are not inclined to talk about emotional matters with other men. It just ain't happening. Women certainly do, and once in a while I like to observe a small group of women talking amongst themselves -- in small doses, of course. One thing I could NEVER wrap my head around is women's tendency to talk over themselves. They interrupt each other all the time. That stuff drives me nuts.

More than anything, men talk about shared experiences. Funny things, sad things, outrageous things. But experiences that we've shared together.

About women talking over each other, well, I was on a subway train in NYC once and there was this group of women gathered around one of those handholding poles all chattering rapidly and at full volume. Try as I might, I just couldn't make out a word they were saying. It was all mixed in with the loud clatter and occasional squealing of the train wheels on steel rails as the train took some sharp turn.

I seriously doubt that it could have come under the category of a conversation, since conversation involves the interchange of ideas. Seeking some logical explanation for this baffling phenomenon, I described my experience to this JW lady since I had seen something similar at the JW meetings where each female seemed to be expounding all to herself in a group.

Well, after giggling, she said that the important thing during such occasions, was for each women to get her opinion included into the cacophony of the bedlam of, noise regardless of whether she is being understood or not and nothing else. Strange!

Based on my own queries, I think that women are hard-wired to latch into and onto multiple information paths. Research has shown that women are supreme multi-taskers. Men are much more inclined to focus on a single target or task, and do so just as well as women can multi-task.

This is not to suggest that men are incapable of multi-tasking or that women can't concentrate and focus. We collectively can train ourselves to improve on these skill sets at all levels -- but it makes sense to me that women can all talk over themselves all the time (when in a group) and completely understand what each individual is saying. Like I said, though, that drives me nuts because, as a man, I am trying to understand each woman's spoken language and completely fail. I can't multi-task like they can.

Oh we DO understand each other, we just make a lot of noise.
I am a very quiet person by nature but get into a group of women and I can talk all right!

@Rose65 , it's a given that you can talk "all right".

But are you saying you can talk "all Night?" Both scenarios I can believe, but which point were you making? :)
 

What do men talk about to each other? Sometimes we shoot the breeze and sometimes we shoot the bull. There seems to be a lot of shooting among men. Some men brag and some men keep to themselves. Some are narcissistic, some are followers.​

Some are jocks, some are nerds, some are dorky, some are cool. Men take great pride in their beards if they have one. Men usually don't talk about fashion, however, they often trends.​

I enjoy classic cars, actually, all types of transportation. Music is a big plus for me although I seldom talk about it.​

I use my wit and humor in conversations with men and women seldom knowing what I will say until it has been said. I hope this helps although I am far from ordinary and the points I have made here may not apply to all men.​

Thanks, @Mr. Ed , for the reminder about shooting. Talking about stuff at the range (gotta use those noise-canceling headsets to work around the rounds popping off) frequently happens.
 
I guess I'm actually somewhat of a loner, I don't really have "buddies" or hang out with other men. For a while I was going fishing with my neighbor on his boat, which he needed my experience with handling . It was fun for a while, we didn't talk much, except about fishing. He will call periodically to ask me questions about computer hardware and software, which I don't mind doing. The guys at the gym are pretty much just acquaintances, we greet each other and shake hands, mostly talk about "gym stuff".

Nobody talks about s.e.x.
 
"What do men talk about to each other?"

"Nobody talks about s.e.x."???

Hi Jack, could you lend me your wife? I must test some s.x positions from my new book on fulfilling marital s.x. Unfortunately my wife got lumbago yesterday, thus I need someone else to test it :ROFLMAO:
 
Me: Sup?
Him: Nuttin
Me: Gonna rain?
Him: Dunno
Me: How about them Cowboys
Him: *Snort*
Him: How's the wheat looking out your way?
Me: Not too bad
Him: Same out our way
The conversation progresses, eventually we'll be bragging about our kids, grandkids and our dogs, Maybe sharing pictures of our dogs on our phones.
We'll talk about guns, cars we used to own, bar fights from years ago, maybe tell a few jokes or stories.
The more we drink, the more we talk and the less we say.
 
Beats the poo out of me! :ROFLMAO: I didn't read this thread, because I really don't want to know. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Ignorance of male dialog, without female moderation, is bliss. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
My husband said he loves to be in women's company because they always have interesting things to share, not like the fellows he used to play football with, always complaining about the horse that ran last, how his wife complains because he didn't mow the grass that weekend and the hangover he suffered because he got into a drinking competition with his mates.
 
If Mrs.L ask what I was talking about, I just reply 'Cabbages and kings'.

This comes from the 'The walrus and the carpenter' by Lewis Carroll.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings."
