In my real world, a meaningful conversation is usually a series of grunts. Followed by some mumbled incoherent noises.

Perhaps the men on this site may be better communicators but I really suspect that they are here because they are interested in relationships, even if not for themselves, but at least in a more general, societal way. Many are concerned about the way things are going and want some input.
However, I find that the single and divorced men I know - also educated professionals, age 35 plus - are more articulate that this quote would lead you to believe. They just aren't the slightest bit interested in this topic.
What is kind of amusing is when a woman comments that "after 35, men want to settle down." Instead, I've found the opposite to be almost always true. If they remain single this long, their interest rapidly wanes. And for many divorced men its "once bitten, twice shy." They usually fit in the following categories and this is what they tell me:
1) Divorced and claim they were "taken to the cleaners and would never marry again. You're smart to stay single! Women are more trouble than they are worth."
2) Single and happy. "I'm debt free and own my house. I haven't a care in the world and my time is my own. I'd be a fool to risk it all for a relationship?"
3) Single or divorced and willing to get sex in any way possible. "You want a relationship? Are you stupid?!?! If they are looking for one, it is your opportunity play along and get some. Why risk screwing up a good thing for a relationship?"
None of these guys would have the slightest interest in this site. But they aren't inarticulate.
Perhaps its the married guys who are...................or afraid that their wife will read their posts.
I'm for real, but I'm a looooooong way from most of you :P
Just kidding, but isn't this really another "niceguys finish last"-discussion?
I mean in real life, when a woman is faced by a caring, articulate guy, they will turn him down in benefit of the a-hole, and then get dissapointed that there was nothing beyond his boyish charm, while telling the caring articulate guy "lets just be friends".
Personally I think only a certain type of people post on forums. Mainly introverted and highly intellectual. People who enjoy deep thinking. The extroverted person or highly social will not enjoy posting on forums.
You being facetious?
