Why women dont say too much?
Posted: 7/5/2008 7:21:06 AM
OK, i've recently been curious to find out why alot fo women basically can't be bothered to say much on many topics that are suggested. I've been usingteh net for years and although these girls/women have said that they enjoy "talking to me", they barely say anything in reply. Which'll eventually leave me with nothing to say but "dont worry if you can't be bothered to say much".

So obviously the question is, why only reply with at the maximum of 3 words and then still claim to be enjoying the "coversations" even though there isn't much to have a conversation about?

Some people don't like to talk much? If you are doing all the talking then maybe they feel they can't get a word in edgeways?

I know a girl who talks to about 10-15 blokes at a time on MSN. So she hasn't got time to type much. Also doesn't really listen if you say anything either. Watch for the classic LOLs just thrown in there when you haven't even said anything funny.

My guess is you are talking to the wrong women. Find the right ones and the conversation will flow effortlessly.

I get the impression they all do that or at least a dozen or so others people. to accuse wimmin of not saying much is a bit naieve

Lol funny you say that i've had men only reply minimally too!
But well maybe they aren't good conversationalist, maybe they are wary of how much information they give out - because they are protecting themselves and/or kids?
I'm guarded on giving information out about my kids, unless i get to know someone well enough and feel comfortable enough to do so.

I do get bored with minimalist replies after a time though. There's nothing to go on if that's as much as a conversation they do.

They obviously just want to humour you.

Argh! Message too short.

Couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.
As smart as bait.
Chimney's clogged.
Doesn't have all his dogs on one leash.
Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor.
Forgot to pay his brain bill.
Her sewing machine's out of thread.
His antenna doesn't pick up all the channels.
His belt doesn't go through all the loops.
If he had another brain, it would be lonely.

Sorry i had to write something.

Hehehe understandable, but i dont ask about kids because i read a entire thread that debated about parents kids involved in the dating scene etc. So i dont ask about other peoples kids, plus other peoples kids tend to hate me anyway hahaha, so i just try to steer clear of that subject really.

I personally try not to say too little because it bores me stupid when i get minimal replies so i dont wanna do the same in return unless i dont like the person, which i usually just tell them to basically bugga off instead of wasting that persons time.

If i give off the impression that i'm only claiming women of only being a minimal replier, i appologise. I know that alot of shy men do it too and just some men in general. So please dont start thinking that i'm on a hate trip at women, just asking a simple question which i wante real answers to, not sarcastic ones.

Johnny... i've met more than enough in the past 9 years of using the internet hahaha, it gets boring, 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

I think the answer you are looking for may well be hidden somewhere in the above quote.Though please dont go shooting me down with the sarcasm gun as they were your words not mine.

Lol, brb,lol,brb, lol These are crimes against conversation ~ Those guilty of using them should be locked in a room with other feeble minded numpties, though a quick bit of sterilisation just to clean up the gene pool before hand should be be a given.

What you want to chat to wimen for anyhow?
I like it when they are a bit hussh, saves me saying "Don't talk with your mouth full!"

Maybe its the content of your conversation OP, some people i find i cant chat endlessly to, others the conversation is so stilted that its just too much of an effort.

if a guy's idea of conversation is

"you ok?"

what do you expect her to do - write 3 chapters of War and Peace in reply?

The blokes that get me are the one's who send a mail saying "hi, fancy a chat?"

so you reply - and then they start of this wonderful, indepth conversation with

"you ok?

Conversation shouldnt be hard work and should flow easily ............if it is hard work then its time to move on !!

I prefer real conversation as opposed to msn as a few on here will testify .......hate the bloody thing with a vengeance!!

Equally annoying are those who feel as if they need to talk incessantly for the sake of talking ..................being comfortable with silences are just as important !!

I find the opposite, women talk to me to much, if there boring i nod & agree whilst dreaming in a world of my own betting against myself if the temperature gage in weatherspoons that monitors the chill of the beer is going to go up or down , then politely ask them to stop so i can go to the toilet & when there not looking run to the next bar in the hope that that particular one doesn't follow...and start the process again with the dream of meeting someone who has something interest and thoughtful to say........oh the circle of life

well after suggesting more than several dozen conversations and then seeing the said woman staring at the tv rather than even attempting to talk a little more or even think of something else to say, do you expect me to carry on suggesting conversations that could have turned out to be funny in some form of way but she'd rather just cut it short with "brb's" and "lol's"? i dont think so, so a short "you ok?" would seem to be a bit more prudent than asking her if she's having fun when she's clearly not gonna say much as a reply anyway.

But even that kind of short question could have a longish answer of how they've felt through the day, what happened to make her feel that way in that day and who caused it etc. It's not a cut off question where it will only require a short answer, unless you can't be bothered to write it out which then it's only your fault to blame for giving such a short answer. Not my fault for trying my best to get more than a quick "lol" or "brb" or "yeah" out of you.

If you want a women to talk more & open up, its simple & old age saying, maker her laugh. If you don'nt have anything funny to say, find something, failing that make it up, once barriers are down she should open up and want to talk to you, all depends on her mood though, god had an off day when coming up with how how they should think, all fun & games, lol

Several dozen topics of conversation?.Sounds more like interigation to be honest.


But even that kind of short question could have a longish answer of how they've felt through the day, what happened to make her feel that way in that day and who caused it etc.


Interigation again?.

As said before if the conversation does not flow freely then the chances are that you just dont have enough in common .


Not my fault for trying my best to get more than a quick "lol" or "brb" or "yeah" out of you.


No.. bless you cant beat a tryer but the phrase flogging a dead horse is springing to mind.

What did you have for your tea?

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
