Maybe u've been chatting with very emotive girls? or shy ones who feel like adding an emoticon in every sentence.

But i don't think it's about gender here, i've seen lots of girls who don't use emoticons and boys who use them alot (i also like to use them alot).

I like jens's blogs, they're short which saves us time

Dunno Jen but you know girls even in real life communicate more than men for average so.. it's quite logical

In a regular day an average female will talk aprox. 50% more than your average male (i read that in a study once, sorry can't remember link).
Emoticons, like it or not, express very much in a very small space, I mean, it would take sentences to give the same "feel" this little thing : "

" does.
So girls use emoticons to express more, just like Pika Chu was saying.

EDIT: I remember the same study I was talking about mentioning precisely that in environments such as IM, girls tend to use more emoticons.

The opposite also works. It only took 1 character (the above smile) for me to make a complex lie about my current feelings towards your statement!
