If this was attractive to today's man then we wouldn't care to question it.

Apparently it is attractive to some in this thread.

I know how you feel. I dated a man for one year and the relationship ended because he told me i talk to much and ask too many question. I said what the fxxk. He said the only way our relationship could continue if I cut back on my talking. He said he enjoyed spending time with me and love going out with me but hated when I asked him too many questions.That was because i used to trap him up in his lies. What a waste of my time..........

Thats cool.... Maybe i can get away with well placed emoticons


Woooooo hooooooooo

Oops

80 percent of women's conversation:

Gossip about friends, workers, and family. It just gets old after a while. I frankly don't care about other peoples business.

80%?? really?? that high?? or maybe it's just the 'age' of the girls in that percentage..?

I LOVE talking.. the last conversation I had with a man (just today as a matter of fact) was on the upcoming trends in technology and its effects on todays younger generations and how they view currency with a loss of value.. personally I have nothing to say about my friends, business associates OR family(other than as a referencing point) when I'm on a date.. I'd rather talk about current events and what makes the other tick.. (not necessarily in that order) other topics of interest stay well away from the typical mundane chatter.. my mind needs engaging before anything else..

that said.. I tend to believe talking is a good thing but engaging is key.. if he can't hold a conversation and doesn't divulge much of himself.. you could just straight up and ask if he feels uncomfortable with your chatter.. if they can't engage your mind.. why bother wasting both your and his time? but that's JMO

Tell us something that we did not already know.

You all act like men can't be chatty. Maybe I hang around weird men who actually talk? And you all act as if women only talk to gossip.

I'm just emulating my hero

I am not a mime and have no problem talking.I believe that you have plenty to say.

I have lost male friends and girlfriends due to this flaw. Its not just women or men. The more boring a person is, the more likely they are to gossip about other peoples lives. I have met some interesting people who have not a bad thing to say about anybody. I hope to meet more of these people.

I agree with this.

Giving anyone a handbook to your life is not a smart move; especially if it is someone you don't know real well.

In the begining of a realtionship if you flood someone on about any level pretty much guarantees they are going to cut and run. Verbal is one of them.

Most people like conversation and just telling your boyfriend about the lowdown on everyone or your opinions on everything is not conversation it really is more lecture, broadcasting, or being attention whore.

If a guy gets this glazed look over his eyes you are probably talking too much about things that are of minimal interest too them. If you pay attention to things he does seem interested in and build on them you may have more two way conversations. Save the "stuff" he doesn't care for and cover it with your pals/family.

Ah, so it's just an issue with boring people? Yeah, the more boring a person is, the less likely I'll be hanging out and talking to them. So this isn't really an issue.

If any of these men you've been meeting are from this site, I'd not bother giving them the satisfaction of seeing me hurt over it. If they read what you put in the forum. It will only give him an ego boost. He can' t be worth damn all anyway if he keeps ignoring you. What does that tell you about him?

you are who you are,one should always remain true to themselves,and if the person you're with doesn't enjoy the qualities you possess maybe that's a sign that they're not the right person for you..

Raven is right! I lost a few men because I talked too much!
I dislike men that do not know how to talk, listen, and have funny sense of humor.

I could be missing something here, so bear with me...But isn't the point to get to know someone? Therein wouldn't there be a reason to listen?

Of course, on the flipside...If we do listen we have an ulterior motive, correct? We'll just listen long enough for you to get naked and jump into bed with us, right?

F*** off...Giving us asinine requirements like that, throwing us under the bus before we can do it ourselves.

You thought having sex with him on the very first date would make him commit? Wow. Sex is sex. Anyone can treat your body as dispoable. Am I telling you that you've been used? I am. You were obviously prepared to have sex so soon after meeting him, so..................

On point
