The Silent Treatment......ughhhhhh (lol)

i will admit i do it to guys all the time...

usually if they sound like a perv and just want to get in my pants i wont respond... i have no time for that crap

other times when they just dont seem my type... or i dunno i just dont want to write back and make them think im interested when im not, i know that sounds shallow... but its the way some people are....

dont just say it girls do it either guys do it all the time too

its happened to me plenty of times and yes it does hurt and makes me feel really ugly and fat but i move on, no need to freakin bag on guys about it how u are bagin on women about it.

if a girl gives u the silent treatment move on! she is not interested there is no point waiting for her to respond back and getting all upset over it, there are plenty of other girls just keep fishin!

That's not what's being talked about, though. You're allowed to reply, or not reply, as you see fit.

For the most part, when I'm "silent" it's because (a) I don't know what to say, (b) I need time to figure out how to say what I want to say without hurting feelings or screaming out loud, or (c) my Mom said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!

I don't do it to be petty or immature.

But if you find yourself in this type of situation, the silent treatment.
GET OUT.[while the gettins good.]
If you can'T TALK ABOUT your feelings, or be open and honest.
Or you find yourself being denied /deprived of sex, love, happiness.
Then it"s time to move on.I"m only SILENT, When my man speaks...

I only use the silent treatment as closure after I`ved to talk with the guy as to what is bothering me about the situation, and he just isn`t listening or just doesn`t care or makes light of it and laughs in my face while I am crying. It means that there is nothing left to say and I don`t want to communicate any longer and I will leave the realtionship. For me, this is what I do when all is lost and I am giving in to the hopelessness of the man understanding, listening or caring. So why bother any more?
It`s logical at this point, isn`t it? There`s nothing left to talk about.

first of all, ignoring someone is abusive. it is cruel to completely cut someone's communication without an explanation. however, i find that men do this far more often then women do. the thing is, how a person handles your communication says everything about thier intentions toward you, and it says a lot about them. people who use the silent treatment are typically more passive-aggressive types. i am very bad with reading non-verbal communication, and i don't get the whole high-context thing at all. i hate drawing conclusioins about people, and assuming things, so generally i simply come out and finally ask them, "what the F?"

Bugsi, I agree with part of what you said, and disagree with some of it. This part I have issue with:

I agree, as women are born communicators, men can use the silent treatment as a form of abuse.

Women and Men communicate differently. Not natively "better" or "worse" just differently. There are some that are better at communication than others on each side of the fence, but the basic fact is that as a general rule men and women will approach communicating the exact same thing in two different ways. And both sexes use it as a form of abuse.

This I'm inclined to agree with :)

If you really care about someone very deeply you wouldnt want them to feel hurt, especially over a period of days, weeks etc. All that prooves is that you take pleasure in their pain.

Completely different topic. That's more a 'Netiquette' discussion than anything else.

Although if 'dating' to you means doing nothing but myspace/facebook/pof/IM, I can see how you could get it confused.
