Not talking but grunting? So you're implying that Korean men are cavemen? Who in their right mind likes sitting around groaning and grunting with their friends? I assume that most of us here have triple-digit IQs, which would mean we like talking to our friends when we see them, I know I do. |
It's men watching sports. I don't want to hear someone yap on and on, that's only for big plays or controversial decisions. I also don't want to watch the game with someone who is overly emotional or exaggerates things. It's baseball. You ever watch managers in the dugout? All they do is sit there and express occasional grunts and have the same glare throughout the game.
What am I going to talk to some dude about how he's feeling and what's been on his mind lately and share your feelings on your significant other? No, we're watching sports. We're men. In between innings you can yap a bit about strategy or players, but game comes on you need to be able to shut up.
And as far as IQs, to be able to discern meaning and intent without taking 5 minutes of yapping to express and decipher it is indicative of good intelligence. |

Because we are using the written word to debate and communicate ideas and we don't have a common frame of reference. |
