The Male Species form of Communication

Is it just me, or does the male species only communicate with one another through

movie quotes?

It's no joke. The other day I was at my lil brothers 22nd Birthday party at this great dive in Solana Beach. As girls always do I am listening to 5 other conversations around the table while participating in my own and suddenly I'm completely caught up in awe over my two brothers conversation. Now one might think that my interest was peaked in their direction because of their highly intellectual level of conversation, right? Nope. That simply wasn't the case, come on these are my brothers we are still talking about. An intellectual conversation? Doubtful under any circumstance. No, what grabbed my full attention to their conversation was that the last 20 minutes of talk was done in movie quotes.

They seriously had a whole conversation reciting to one another the quotes from movies. But what was even more amazing was that they were not talking ABOUT the movie! Nope, they were talking to each other as only males can using the quotes from movies they had seen.

My older brother was telling my youngest brother about how great his bachelor party cruise was going to be. What they were going to do. What they were going to feel like before, during and after the cruise all through the reciting of movie quotes AND my youngest brother completely understood what my older brother was talking about. He would nod his head in agreement, laugh in the right moments and respond with his own movie quotes in response to my older brothers questions and stories. I mean HOLY COW! AND they are not the only males that I have observed using this form of communication.

Pay attention ladies, they all do it!

In fact, just the other day I went on a date with this guy who tried communicating like this with me! Now you have to understand something about me; I do like movies and I do watch them, but ask me who starred in them or the name of a particular actor in a movie and FORGET IT! Unless it's Brad or Angelina I'll have no idea who it is.
So for this guy to think I'd respond to his movie quote with my own movie quote as a form of communication between us must be nuts! I had to shut this idea down and shut it down fast. So I simply asked:

Read any good books lately?
