Ladies what are the topics that you don't like to discuss when talking to a guy?

[PhillyDude]

I have a habit of bringing up things that are considered boring to women. It is such a STUPID FEELING when you mention something to a girl and there is no reaction to what you just said.

 

So just want to know what topics to stay away from?

[Citizen Erased]

The injuries that they have received recently. No I don't want to hear about how awesome it is to cut half your hand off with a saw and please for the love of God don't SHOW me it.

[DollWelch]

I guess I'll go first.

 

Avoid these topics (of course, not limited to):

 

1. When, where and how you scored with a woman (in detail).

 

2. Your ex-girlfriend.

 

A man's vibrant personality can make any boring (within reason, except the above 2) topic interesting.

And what topics would those be?

 

I'm off the market but let me list just some of the topics I would be perfectly happy to discuss on a date:

 

-economics

-foreign policy

-sports

-science and technology

-culture

-religion

-life experiences and stories (provided they're not vulgar)

-history

-odd facts

[NicoleM]

How many girls you have slept with. Politics those can get touchy as with religion, Incomes

[Maggotface]

Along the lines of the injuries post is anything TMI. This shouldnt even need to be said but I have had guys bring topics like this up. I don't want to know about your personal hygiene, strange rashes that have poped up, you get the picture.

 

Also, I don't like when guys ask a lot of questions about my son because I feel like the only reason they are showing such a big interest in him is because they feel that I want them to be interested in him if that makes any since. I don't like for my kid to be a part of my dating life unless we have been together for a long time and are stable.

I think it depends on the woman. The best way to start a good conversation with a woman is to ask her what are her interests. Then based on how she responds you can follow up with other topics of conversation.

 

Generally though stay away from talk about exs, current or old, too much conversation about yourself, and anything that might be classified under 'personal body issues'.

[green_tea]

How expensive things are. I find this really boring and a huge turn off. I don't want to know how hard up you are.

[dispatch3d]

they aren't much for personal problems. See D-Lish's thread about "worst first date ever" or something. Dude just spilled the beans about everything going wrong in his life (stupid thing to do).

[OliveOyl]

I am interested in talking about anything personal, philosophy, religious concepts (even though I'm not really religious myself), current events, family, computers, technology. I don't mind hearing about exes in fact I love hearing stories of past relationships (for some reason I have never been threatened by someone's past romantic history).

 

In general, I'm not interested in sports, politics, or history. These topics aren't "off limits" I just tend to find them boring (sadly, history was my worst subject in school). However, if the guy has a strong interest in a specific area I will try to see if learning about it more and discussing it with them would make it more interesting to me and to share.

 

I guess I just posted this to show that everyone is different. Lots of women hate hearing about exes and love talking politics & sports.

I'm off the market now, but when I dated, I wouldn't find the following topics of that much interest

 

-in depth discussions about any sport

-a lot of talk about previous relationsips

-likes and dislikes in bed/sexual performance

-going into detail about personal problems

-bathroom humor

 

However, religion, current events, television/movies/music/books, trivia, science, history are all interesting to me.

[SmileFace]

I like cars, computers, sports and anything gym related.

 

Add history, philosphy, religion ,nutrition(food), music, crude jokes, smart remarks and I am hooked.

 

I really don't want to talk about your past relationships or hear you bitch about something in your life.

 

However after a certain time - everything should be able to be discuessed.

Since I'm not much of a party girl, I always disliked stories that started with: "One day, I was so drunk... (I did some silly things, got into trouble with authority, but got off scotch free all thanks to some form of heroics)"

 

 

 

Another topic that somehow appeared a lot and would leave me speechless:

 

"How much I work out and what a great athlete I am". I can imagine a fellow women athlete would actually enjoy such a conversation, but I really couldn't muster that much interest for how often my date hits the gym and how much they can lift and what other guys at the gym are doing wrong.

[Dust]

You just need to talk about what comes natural. If talking about rape, abortion, or sex is all you can come up with then go with it. Just remember some times awkward silence is your friend if you really have nothing great to say. Awkward silence builds sexual tension that you can act on by making out.

 

I’m pretty sure I once had a long conversation about how nice I thought my girlfriends breasts were. I went into great detail and talked about the shape, asked her the size. I talked about the nipple and the color/shade of it. Keep in mind I had this conversation after seeing them. Also keep in mind she through me a bone by telling me how nice they were and wanting to do show and tell/touch with them.

 

With the right girl there will be no shortage of subjects to talk about. At a certain point you just have to let your guard down and talk about the zombie apocalypse if that’s what’s on your mind.

A couple years ago I was out on a date with a woman who kept telling me about how much alcohol she could drink and how much she drank in college. You might think that this woman had to be an immature 22-year-old who didn't know any better, but she was actually 33 years old at the time. It was one of the most boring dates I have ever been on. The thing is that I didn't bring up any of this - she did so and seemed to be telling me this in an utterly unsuccessful effort to make herself seem "cool."

Don't like:

 

Himself, all the time

South Park

Family Man

gadgets, comic and cartoons

computer games

cars and driving too fast

fishing, hunting, dog fighting

tech stuff (even though I'm interested sometimes, if he starts a conversation off with friends about tech stuff and it goes on and on without them bothering to include me, then I just rule him out for good)

girls, women, how attractive my daughter is (!)

the ex and how awful she was

Formula 1

His latest achievement over and over again

getting drunk

smoking

farting and unpleasant bodily functions

Getting up to daring things and general male bravado stuff (no I don't care if he managed to get a dustbin on top of a lamppost directly outside the police station!)

 

Like:

Asking me how I am

Listening to the answers!

Talking about emotional stuff - how I feel about something, how he feels about it, something a bit deeper than vans that can create a personal connection?

Hobbies generally, with not too much of the uninteresting male stuff but a balance is ok

Films

Music

Art

Kids

Family

Work

Politics (soon find out if his views are totally different from mine)

history

travel

holidays

trips out

friends

events

economics

languages

even maths, science and computing, up to a point

dating, romance, relationships

animals

countryside

religion

TV

internet

 

lots of choice really

I would probably be losing interest in you by this point.

 

cars and driving too fast

 

It won't be talked about, but I will be the one driving, and it will be too fast!

 

girls' date=' women, how attractive my daughter is (!)[/quote']

 

I wouldn't bring it up but since you did how old is your daughter? I'd think it would be a compliment to say she was attractive/pretty or what ever unless of course they called her sexy? I'm just kind of confused on this actually being an issue for you.

 

Also having a kid is a big turn off, if you hadn't completely lost me with your hatred of comics, cartoons, and comedy this would have done it.

 

His latest achievement over and over again

 

Now you're just being cynical.

 

farting and unpleasant bodily functions

 

I'll try not to talk about it but eventually there will be farting and if its in bed you're going in the Dutch oven.

 

Getting up to daring things and general male bravado stuff (no I don't care if he managed to get a dustbin on top of a lamppost directly outside the police station!)

 

Getting a dustbin on top of a lampost hardly sounds like male bravado. I don't think you've ever heard a truely good story if thats your example. Lame really sounds like something a disgruntled house wife would do.
