There are no gender differences nowadays. Both, men and women, can talk equally well on any

I don’t think so. Gender has nothing to do with the preference of chatting. It is a matter of individual choice.
4. When men chat with other men do they usually talk about the same things that women do when they chat with other women?
The topic of conversation among men or women is a matter of individual taste. Mostly men talk about sports, business and politics. Whereas women talk about fashion and family matters.
