This is the Fitting In with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is an unbelievable study that's been done. Research has
looked at ten point eight million words udded by almost
seven hundred participants. They recorded themselves having daily conversations, and
as it turns out, men are more polite than women.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Couldn't agree more. This is a huge call. I mean,
how do you determine that?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Do you know why?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Women don't like women? Women are nasty to other women.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Right, as sisterhood can get nasty where guys don't care. Off,
you were telling me there's three girls in particular at
sales in Nova that you will not talk to.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Look, I often came meltressin A's car. But that's a
whole separate.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
He deserves the issue, you know.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I thought women's relationships with each other would be way
more precious than men's.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Very precious.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Do you mean sensitive?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Well, not as stronger. I think the bond would be stronger,
willn't they?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Nah? But if I compare like my husband's group chat
with his mates versus the group chat I have with
my girlfriends, the guys are brutal to each Other's your friend.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
But that's bad overall.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
We're more polite.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That's form. That's a form of love.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Ash Well, that's what you've got to understand. The more
that you get stuck into a mate, the more that
you love them.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
He's a bit of a breakdown.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And the study you've handed me, Tom the team analyzed
which sex express their kindness more through words, such as
using words like mate and powell and love and pet
and the findings found that men say made approximately seven
hundred times in one million words. However, women on this
one hundred and twenty No, of course blogs say mate
(01:51):
a lot more than women.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Oh, naturally, is it is? Is?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Is mate more uniquely Australian than any other country in
the world.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The UK say mate a lot. The US do it too.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You hear it every now and then.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, but I don't think they like the word mate.
They don't use mate too much in the US.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Do you think if I throughout mate it would sound condescending?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
All girls refer to Tommy as mate. I've noticed that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
To me from a girl is.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
A clear line.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, very much friend zoned there.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Even if you're not looking to.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It, of course he is. Yeah, but BJ says it
to me condescending when she goes.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
All right, mate, okay, well you didn't like dinner, ik mate.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Tommy, your wife says it to you a bit. Yeah,
okay mate, see you later, buddy.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
You know that kind of stuff. It's a kick in
the pants.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
If Lisa calls me.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Mate, he says to Tommy in the bedroom world unhamp but.
Speaker 2 (02:57):

favorite Dogford.

just hear them say there is no good stranger?

What happens? There is someone named there is someone has
the name there doesn't.
