Why women dont say too much?
Posted: 7/17/2008 4:48:07 AM
men do the same thing,

last night a guy was talking to me on IM and was taking ages to reply so i suggested switching to msn as i thought the IM system was running slow..

still it took him 3 mins between each reply, and then i just got something stupid .. like yeah, me too, or lol...

i wouldnt mind but he IMed me.. so he shouldnt have been busy/disturbed...

Couple of weeks ago I messaged a very nice loooking woman who had in her profile, loads of things in common with me.
She replied and we went straight to msn.
2 days and nights later I said to her if I can't get you to say more than LOL LMAO and That's true! then we obviously aren't suited.
She was fine with that.
Then, days later, she starts chatting in msn to me and we got on quite well. The next night tho we were chatting again and I asked if she were tired as she wasn't saying much. She said no she was watching True life cctv TV or some stuff.
So I said goodnight and haven't bothered again lol
When I thought about it, the night we chatted a lot and got on, was the night POF was broke. Hmmmm

Edit: I dislike msn anyway. I'll only talk to one person at a atime but if it's a new 'meet' and they expect me to stay in msn for weeks I get bored anyway.
Edit: Of course I'm boring. And crude ill mannered and sexist. But I thought women liked that? lol

You obviously bore them!

Try having interesting conversations....make sure the conversations revolve around them and not you, im sure they will give you more than a 3 word reply!

Now some one says something bugger going to have to rethink the "this is me bit" and change it to "tell me all about yourself" but I'll get bored with all that girlie talk about how the right guy would make them feel and how they don't seem to be able to find a guy that knows how to treat a woman.
could always put a DVD on to watch let me think best replies

that's a shame
no would never do that
your kidding me he did what
that should be fine no coping lads they might catch on
yep sorted ty daisy

I think the similar people do get on quite well in the beginning until they see there is no much of talking as they agree in everything.

I met quite few people like this, nice to have for friends as they understand what you mean and have similar thoughts.

But I think meeting different people than you and who do not agree with you is more interesting

especially when they just type out after asking them "you ok?" and tehy reply with "i'm bored". Makes you feel like as if you've done all of that chattering for.... nothing! lol


all that chatting ? when you ask , you ok? you will get the answer yes ta you ? say something interesting you might get longer replies !

You either click or you dont.. some I chat too we just banter total stupid stuff, we dont know anything of each other but its still amusing, and we clicked enough to talk kak all night long.

Women much prefer talking to other women as they always agree with each other (as seen so often on the POF message board)

The reason why women don't say much via pm is that they have so many men after them they haven't got the time to say much except "thanks but no thanks" or some illiterate drivel in txt spk , or not reply at all.

Purely anecdotal of course.

This *is* a site for women to become friends with one another isn't it? :-)

I love a good natter, but with male attitudes like some of the ones displayed in this thread, its no wonder some women are hesitant about being very talkative with a stranger!

Even if blokes aren't all tarred with the same brush by her, its not surprising if she wants to feel he's got a good attitude before she can relax in to conversation.

By a 'natter' I take it you mean talking verbally, and not just a series of pm's/emails?

To talk verbally you at least need to chat on the phone, but heaven forbid actually meeting someone in real life. Shock horror!

Internet dating was never invented for such an occurrence. :-)

Msg 37 you talk tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!




Messages this short are full of sexual tension and innuendo!


Though the tension is obvious they may not be posted!

I am now trying to think of a way to relieve said tension!

I find from my own personal experience ... that women find it difficult to concentrate on cleaning dishes etc and holding conversation at the same time

Turn the lights off mofwtmy? - tee hee

I talk rubbish Misself for hours and find that the other person usualy gives up and replies with one word answers too that's part of whyI don't do Im or MSN - waste of time mostly.

Like most things you should get out what yo put in!

Ive had that line mentioned many a time,but never off a woman!.


OT if you men want to hold a womans attention then talk shoes/shopping/vibrators..That should do the trick.

Since when did this become a problem? I've had messages which are pretty short and I see nothing wrong with them. I've had essays off some and they're good too. It just depends on where you're going with it. If you're on one subject and talkig like you'd talk to them in person then it's a short comment and wait for a response. If you're talking about world hunger and your views on it then you'll end up writting plenty.

Another thing to do is to find a subject you're both interested in and talk about it. It doesn't matter if it's football, your favourite bands or what either of you has been up to the last week.

Conversations along with emails should be natural. I find that if I have nothing to say about something I'll either change subject or if I cant even do that then it's nice chatting to you bye bye.

You cant make the effort for them (man of woman) whether you like them or not if you're stuck for things to say you've either got to find something or give it up.

Samstyles I'd have to disagree with you there, I'm a guy and love a good natter too. It's when women or men over think everything and want to try and figure out where conversing with someone is going to take them. Come talk to me, I'll have some witty banter with you
