" The other day I was talking to a male coworker in the elevator when it stopped and his male friend got on. They started talking to each other in these deafening voices. They weren&amp;#039;t fighting or laughing--just having a &amp;quot;how&amp;#039;re you doing?&amp;quot; conversation. I know that neither is hard of hearing. Why do guys feel like they need to talk so loudly to each other? --TB, Connecticut I think it has to do with the social evolution of the species. In caveman times (see fire-building, above), males who made the most noise were the ones who attracted prospective females, therefore giving them an advantage when it came to mating opportunities. &amp;quot;Ooo-ooo-ooo I&amp;#039;m a big hairy ape who needs attention from the ladies so I might mate and keep the species viable. I also lost my key to the employee bathroom. I&amp;#039;ve had a lot of coffee this morning, can someone loan me their key ooo-ooo?&amp;quot; Need help decoding male behavior?
