Well, I personally like a woman who talks. Its tough to get to know her if she is too evasive, and not equal in the conversation. The more listening I do, the more I know if we fit or not. Good rapport is essential since I do like to talk much mostly, but I also listen and then later, I know how to keep her mouth busy once we know where were headed. Of course there is always duct tape? laugh


A man that finally gets it.....lmao :thumbsup:


laugh Don't let him get away Kristi....laugh

Why do some women give us hardtime with unnecessary talk about everything?


So you have noticed it to. Well to coin a phrase, "She can talk the hind legs off a donkey" which is believed to have come from the fact, that although a donkey is a very hardworking and stubborn animal, when it has had enough the hind legs give way and it sits down, hence the expression, "talk the hind legs off a donkey". Why is it prefixed with the word She, well it is just a woman thing, they just love to blabber despite what they say. :smile:

Men talk to share information.

Women talk as a form of social interaction.

Sure about that?


Yes.

May be from your side of the world. On my side, most women(remember not women) talk as a form of nagging and to 'share information'

Aha,OK!

But,i never understood what ''nagging''is.....
Somebody educatively enlighten me please?!
No,not because am a village belle,but......

But what, neighbour? May be u females are synonymous with nagging. That's why u never understood it

I meant that in that exact sense-i trully do not understand the word.....
Does it mean a woman over talks to a man about THE same subject,more than necessary?? You do know that some men have selective hearing-could be she needs to know that hubby gets what shes talking about!?
Otherwise,when i talk to hubby about something-once,its not done/noticed,twice-still nothing,then thats it,case closed! I do it myself if its not beyond me,or ask someone else!
Am very playful,i like talking stuff through,discussions and such...I prefer to date a man who i can have enriching conversations with,but,i also have quiet times-where silence is golden!! Also am comfy within myself,so,Kiprotich of the mouth isnt one of my fortes!
But,M,if sisi is blabbering,why not find a quieter lady....for your own peace!?

Nah, this aint blabbering. This is just making casual conversation, neighbour. And I like it.
By the way what I meant by nagging is a woman talks non stop about the same thing repetitively

And you tire of listenning or you dont listen at all??

It seems like the basis of this thread was to put women down and label them "blabbermouths." And "nags" too I guess..It's more of a place to "vent" versus trying to problem-solve and gain some depth and understanding. (Even though some posters have tried to offer insights.)...And so be it! Everyone is entitled to his or her views. But I don't like to get into "gender-bashing" myself so I'll just move along!

I do agree, with you, greeneyes, it makes me wonder about SOME people when compassion cannot be seen in how they approach things. If I met someone, went on a date with them, listened to their story or whatever "blabber" they may be saying, even if I don't feel a connection. I may try to to listen anyway and give my two cents and try to gain some perspective on their problem and then advise them. Not that I know everything. Others come into our lives for a reason, what if something you say is food for thought to them and maybe, just maybe you help them figure it out a bit. Maybe you'll never want to see them again, but being cold and selfish seems to be so prevalent in MANY that i choose not to go that route. Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together try and love one another right NOW.

When did anyone become so freekin perfect, that they have no time to help another, if that's what it comes to. I know, everyone's busy and doesn't want to waste there time or add drama in their life. How cliche'. You just may get, what you give!

Great post...I agree with you when it comes to caring...When people get married or have close friends it's all about sharing (back and forth) and being a "confidante" to each other...This is how I feel anyway. It's a "support network."...If some problems pop-up in a relationship hopefully everyone can act like grown-ups and discuss the issues in caring and constructive ways. (Versus resorting to name-calling or labeling or snide remarks etc.)...I wouldn't want to make my husband feel stupid just because he wanted to "run" something "by" me. Marriage is all about "being there" for each other. This is how I feel anyway. Thanks for your post.

nagging is a lazy word .if you being asked something or too do something then its probably a real concern for your partner to get a reply or a shelf hanged a door mended. or she may just need some extra tenderness because she has had a really stressfull day ,to ingnore her and call it nagging is just being neglectfull of your partners feelings and or needs ..


This is so true. An ex of mine volunteered to hang a shelf for me; after two weeks passed; I asked him when he would do it. He accused me of nagging because I asked once. Needless to say; I went and did it myself as I didn't appreciated being called a nag. whoa

some men are better listeners, and enjoy women who can keep the conversation alive and interesting.... but then again, if what I'm talking about bores you, and you generally tune me out when I'm talking to you, I might be trying to get you to spend some quality time with me... so I'd talk about anything and everything just to keep your attention focused, until you again ignored me... then I'd find somebody else who is interested in talking to me.

Sorry your friend acted so weird with you when you asked about the shelf...Some men (and women too) can be "touchy" and even defensive...It reminds me of how some kids act when their parents bring up something they don't want to deal with or "hear." Don't you think?

Hold on there. Aren't men and women supposed to be equal? Why can't she hang her own shelf or mend her own door or spend some of HER money to hire a carpenter?

If these things are important to her, she needs to take care of them herself. That's what men do.

I don't think anyone should "use" or take advantage of someone else...I don't want to play this out in married life either...It always leads to resentment and "pay-backs." (And maybe even divorce court!)...I think everyone should be treated with courtesy and dignity and respect at all times. This is the only way to create a happy and lasting relationship.

I agree with you. However, that doesn't mean I should have to fix all the things she thinks needs fixing. Especially if I never use them. If she wants a shelf, she can hang it herself. If her car needs an oil change she can do it herself or pay someone to do the job.

I ask NOTHING from a woman in a relationship except sex a couple of times a week and she takes at least as much pleasure from that as I do. So, I don't see any reason I should be asked to do anything more. She's a grown up and can take care of herself. We're EQUAL, right?

Different strokes for different folks I guess...When I was married my husband and I decided on things together and shopped together etc...It was exciting to buy something new for the house "together." And figure out where to put things etc..We usually worked together as a "team" when it came to installations or decorating or displays or remodeling etc...We owned (and ran) gift stores and other businesses and always worked as a "team."...Nobody was stuck doing all the work alone. And nobody "forced" anything on anyone...My husband enjoyed being involved in everything and coming up with projects and "design ideas" of his own. He didn't want to sit on the side-lines.

Joke is on you. There is nothing to listen to here. Only read.

Yep; it is childish. I just stopped asking him to do anything and even when he volunteered to do something; I still just did it myself. It was way easier.

In my case; the man was living with me and he volunteered to do some things around the house. I don't mind doing things myself but if a guy offers to do something; then shouldn't he keep his promise? Why should he sit in my house and do nothing while I do all the work and then expect sex as well. I believe in equality but not in being taken advantage of. Incidentally; when I do things for myself men whine that they feel useless, not needed, and less of a man because they can't do anything for me. Seems I am damned if I do and damned if I don't.

Did he have a job? Was he contributing to the household funds? If not, then you have every right to "nag" him about doing things. But, if he said he'd do something and hasn't gotten to by the time you think he should have, don't nag, just do it yourself.

If men don't like your independence, it's because they want you under their thumb. They want to have something to hold over you. I don't think that's the kind of man you'd want to be involved with anyway.
