Why Do Men Not Respond as Women do.?
by rosesandsmiles at 1/8/2010 2:25:50 PM


In reading Posts & Responses to subjects in the various groups, wonder why so few men initiate a post or respond to a post. Wondering if living single we have lost our ability to converse with the opposite sex. Are women more talkative than men, are women more likely to air our problems, desires & hopes with others. Are the topics in Singles Perspective & other groups geared more to the interest of women.
It is not only in the DH thing, but out in a social environment. Men tend to group & talk about the latest tech gadget, sports, cars, work. Women group & talk about fashions, diets, hairstyles, etc I think most of us in Singles Perspective would like to meet a Mr. or Ms. right, if nothing more than just to be friends, but what are the chances if we can't carry on a conversation. How do we bridge this gap in conversational interests?
Maybe it is the thing that women like to get an answer to why & men clam up & refuse to answer. Men your feedback please.

Hey I'm always participating with the gals,heck sometimes I can even speak their language.I don't understand why more men don't participats as I and the few others around here that do have a wonderful time chatting it up with the ladies.I guess nobody wants to enjoy all the fun and fringe benefits that go with the territory...I just luvs plain with da ladies... And i ain't a skeert of them either.

Roses I think men and women have totally different thought processes, we just need to value those differences..and Fred my dad is 92 and takes his bride dancing every saturday nite.....

"Are women more talkative than men, are women more likely to air our problems, desires & hopes with others."

Chris, good to see you. Louie, come on, tell, I'm not sceerd, I'm a big girl and I can take it. Mzlady It is so wonderful that your 92 year old dad still takes his bride dancing. Jennyann, I guess I kinda know Cats I totally agree with you we need to value those differences, so the men will feel as comfortable commenting as the women do.

Personally I think we should be comfortable communicating with each other. I have found that men have been good listeners. I enjoy communicating with men and learning how each one feels and thinks about their life, hobbies, interests. It is not difficult...... I listen, and I'm not judgemental, I'm tolerant of views other than mine, and share their thoughts as well. I believe men want the same things women want, love, passion, intelligence, humor. this site after all is called, DateHookup. JMHO

You must have looked at my kissing blog..I said first kiss and over and over I had to say..Not yet guys...... Some didn't seem to get the difference in a first kiss and it not leading to sex. I think as so often men and women are on totally different pages on things. It is a shame at this time in or life. I sure want someone I can communicate with.

OK girls. Its long known that like when men get on the telephone, we communictae in concise sentences about whatever issue is at hand. Most mens conversations are usually less than 2 minutes. We are the the gabby types, dont know why, it just is what it is? Again it refers back to the addage of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Its not a judgement simply an observation, unless the guys is some kind of "metrosexual". And yes we are more "tactile" and "visual"

rosesandsmiles

Believe it or not skipper, women are quite visual and tactile also. The sense of touch can drive both male and female bwahaaaaa! But that is when the words "No not yet" should be respected whether it be vocalized by the women or man. Usually the woman is stronger mentally than the man, but not always.

I just had a phone call from one of my men friends and I ask him why he did not like to blog and he said it was more like a girlfriend site than a dating site""""" Over the back fense chatting} and it is funny rose but I have been able to relate to men a lot more than I can to a woman{Guess that is why I have so many men friends} and we chat about Government , travels, military, sex."""" I even tell him what I am knitting""" and we laugh and have a ball and yes we talk about sports. So to answer your question I think Men like the one to one more than grouping like a Blogging Public site}

I think in general women are more verbally oriented and men are more mathematically and scientifically oriented. I know this is a generalization and there are many men here with excellent verbal skills. But I think some might be a little self conscious about their spelling and grammar. Also, I know a lot of men my age were brought up not to share their feelings as oohman2 said. I think it might be easier for some men to converse in person than online. Communication is definitely an important part of a relationship. My ex could not tell me what was bothering him unless he had a few drinks. That's one of the reasons that he's my ex.

When I worked in substance abuse treatment centers I really saw how much more verbal women are versus men as they were in a much more contained unit. I'm kind of a different cat as I am much more verbal than most men both in writing & speaking. Of course the flip side of that is I ask way more questions meeting a perspective mate which has kept me on the single mantle awhile. I did tell a group of men while doing a mens group that they still would not win an argument with a women. They asked me why now that they were sober & I told them " Women are still the superior creature guys" which won't change-lol!

I just know, that on line meeting...IF they can't write email and consider a 2 minute phone call communication. I most likely will never meet. Sorry guys, I take it that you can't communicate.

I myself, having been on this planet longer than most lol have always found men very vocal. Some men can talk for hours......However.....the subject must interest them and once you start to stray off the subject...(yes ladies we do it...in convo and on the blogs)... men go into their silent mode....they will go where they have an interest...much like sex...if you withhold it...their off and running LOL sometimes in their minds...other times , right out the door....

Proof Of WHY!

catsmam76
1/11/2010 6:08:38 AM

I'm wondering if we aren't as flexible as you girls..physicaly for sure not and I'm wondering if it's not the same mentaly.Moon makes a good point men will talk for hours or the right subject,I believe there are MAYBE three of those,but once you gals change it up we get lost or afraid to try keeping up with you.I know I've been in conversation with a lady and she changeas up the direction of the talk and I'm caught scrambling for the shift knob to change gears...and yup I usualy grind them before I get caught up.But I do try to keep up..

This blog is confusing. First the girls say to do then they say don't. Arkyfred has the right idea meet them and take them dancing. Hang in there Fred. I can talk or listen, whatever the lady wants.
