ladyb Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I've been with my SO (Significant Other for those who don't know) for 5 years now... and I constantly talked about him. Maybe it's a girl thing because I know most of my female friends do the same. We're emotionally attached. Not only that, I think about him often. There are times when I just saw him 15 minutes ago, I miss him already. I've always wondered if the men do it too. Men who talks about their g/f or SO often means they're in love, right? What about the men who DON'T talk or even mention their SO?
MarinaAquamarina Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Men don't think or talk about anything but themselves, I find. Ah, bitter at 18, what is the world coming to
Author ladyb Posted June 17, 2007 Author Posted June 17, 2007 Men don't think or talk about anything but themselves, I find. Ah, bitter at 18, what is the world coming to Either they're talking about themselves or they talk about each other. Is that what they call male bonding? Make fun of themselves. This is just from experience that I've seen most men do...
GodofNietzsche Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 My friends and I talk about our girlfriends. Sometimes to complain, sometimes just to say how the relationship in general is going. However, Marina, from my experience (in the context of romantic relationships), women are more selfish than men. And I've found women are very poor at communicating with their male partners. Of course, this is just my experience, just as your experience influences your opinion. Never formulate a general 'truth' from limited empirical evidence. You'll reduce everyone you meet to fit your standard of judgement.

What about the men who DON'T talk or even mention their SO? ...but in a different way... They won't spend hours (like girls do) talking about their gf...but they will... with a good friend or some buddies over a beer. They don't go into details or intimate stuff like women do. I am the 'confidente' of many MMs... so they will talk about intimate stuff only with someone they really trust.
Aloros Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I'm sure they do. My brother told me about the girls he was dating, how he felt about them, how much potential he felt they had, etc. I know my bf talks about me. Whenever I meet one of his friends, they already know who I am. I've also been around when he chats with his long-distance friends, and I'm mentioned a good deal.
IpAncA Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Yes men do but women chat more. But I will say that if you do talk about your SO to someone else, please let them know so that if they do met them, they don't feel like an idiot when that person says "yeah ____ was just telling/told me that." And they never say that until your done.
katiebour Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Why are mostly women answering this thread? lol. But I guess we can take Loveshack as a kind of example of how men talk about their women- the men here talk about problems, share experiences, talk about things they love and things they hate, etc. I asked my b/f and he jokingly said "Yes, But it's none of your business! We have to maintain a sense of mystery!" He refused to give details other than that... So fellow members of the Mysterious Association of Men rest assured he's sticking to his oaths of secrecy.
Krytellan Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 It's hard to admit this, but the only time I have known men to talk about their SO for more than a minute or two is when they are complaining or there's a problem. ladyb: why not take a little break from threading for a bit. Put the typing finger down and back away
alasia Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Aren't men's conversations about their girlfriends kind of like: FRIEND 1 - "How's things with (name)?" FRIEND 2 - "Yeah. Good". FRIEND 1 - "Nice one. Pint?" FRIEND 2 - "Thanks" *friend 1 heads to the bar to get the drinks in* I know my ex talked about me quite a lot, because I'd get his pub-friends giving me 'the look' whenever he went to the bar (the look that says "he's just been talking about you. he lurves you!"). Plus I used to get random people that knew him coming up to me and introducing themselves all the time. They already knew my name
halfarock Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Guys talk to other guys all the time about their girlfriend. “Hey! That’s my girlfriend and if you don’t stop looking at her like that I’m going to come over there and kick your ass.”
