What does it mean when a man speaks to a woman and his voice becomes soft and slow?

[Dell43]

As my guy friend and I were talking, his voice became more quiet and he started speaking more slowly. It was like he was taking pauses in between a few of his words within each sentence. Why do some guys do that?

[Garcon1986]

You should ask him directly

 

Some guys are taught that being slow and deliberate is more sexy.

Other guys do it to emphasize a point, like in public speaking skills. Just ask him what his point was in speaking slowly.

His sedatives may be starting to kick in.

His sedatives may be starting to kick in.

 

Ha! Yes, his Xanax.

 

Seriously, though, OP. What was the conversation topic? I feel like that would matter more than his tone of voice.

[alphamale]

maybe he like you?

[Simple Logic]

Maybe he thinks slow.

[stillafool]

Maybe he has a sore throat.

Maybe

 

 

 

I don't know what I'm doing on this thread.

It depends a lot on the context.

 

I think this is something I do sometimes. For me it happens when the words start coming out of my brain slower than my mouth can spit them out. Sometimes I can talk a mile a minute, but when I start having to really think WHILE I'm speaking, going lower and slower, with more pauses, more drawn out words, etc. is a natural result of that.

 

There could certainly be a number of other reasons, but without knowing the details (subject of conversation, location, other people present or not, the timing of the change in tone/speed, etc.) I couldn't really say.

It means seduction.

 

I've seen some men do this when they talk to a woman they find attractive. It's always about seduction.

He is trying to make her knees weak and melt her like butter...in essence.. he is trying to get in her pants

[basil67]

It's late in the evening and he's getting tired and struggling to stay awake.

 

Or, perhaps you speak slowly and quietly and he's picking up on it. It happens to me sometimes if I'm with someone who speaks slowly and quietly.

The reason I haven't assumed the seduction angle is because the OP describes it as SOFT. The optimal speed and intonation for seduction as I understand it is DEEP and slow. I wouldn't describe a "soft" male voice as sexy or seductive, personally. Although perhaps trying and doing it wrong?
