thecrucible Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 To echo what Buddhist said, I'm not the stereotypical woman when it comes to conversational habits. I try to avoid gossip as much as possible (too much drama) and sometimes I'm not interested in stereotypical girly things. I enjoy wearing make-up so I'm girly in that sense but I was a bit of a tomboy growing up and old habits die hard. I've always had a mix of male and female friends. I prefer phone calls to texting. I don't see the point of texting a whole conversation when you can talk much more efficiently on the phone. There's also the benefit of hearing the person's voice. To have a man who is happy to make phone calls rather than text is a must for me. I prefer to text to let people know I'm on my way to somewhere. Some guys I've dated seem to assume that 'cause I'm a girl, I love texting. I see talking as a way to connect with someone so I want to 'cut the crap' so to speak and make the conversation worthwhile. Conversation is bonding for me. I like guys who enjoy deep conversations about life and knowledge from time to time (not generally what men are into ). The last guy I dated also studied History at university so I thought 'That's great. We can have interesting conversations' but when I brought up subjects that interested me, he'd say he likes History but doesn't like talking about it. I like writing so I can be verbose in emails occasionally (though I try to avoid this). It's odd because I'm quite quiet in real life. I enjoy talking to people but I don't feel uncomfortable not saying much if I have nothing to say. I know a lot of men don't talk so much. That doesn't really bother me. But I don't like the kind of guy who talks at you but never asks any 'getting to know you' questions. This is not confined to one gender though. I'm not overly effusive and I prefer to compliment and express feelings only when I feel I am being honest and not just saying it to gain acknowledgement from someone. I understand some men I've dated didn't like that 'cause they wanted me to tell them they're the best thing since sliced bread...I would have said that if I'd have really thought it was true hehe
Mr. Lucky Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 That's entirely different. Aggies are number 4! Not for long. ... Mr. Lucky
Miss Peach Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 IME men tend to say more in the presence of women than in the presence of other men.
GorillaTheater Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Not for long. ... Mr. Lucky No, that didn't last too long. And Knight's out for the season. Crap.
