It's definitely not a secret that men and women have differences in how they approach self-disclosure. Men tend to be more guarded. I don't think that this is a defense mechanism or anything. Men just are not generally as talkative as women are. I can remember scenes from a few movies where the friend of a guy trying to impress a woman on a first date gives advice. In so many words the friend will encourage the guy to ask his date lots of questions, mainly about her. Its usually suggested that women love to talk about themselves or here someone else talk about them.
I know that personally I've experienced the typical outcome on dates where I will talk more than the guy and in one case the guy talking much more than I did. On page 67 the book states that there is an exception to what is considered normal in male female interaction. In the initial interaction between men and women, men man disclose more "in order to control the relationships development" . This makes a lot of sense.......
