I'm a Man so there will be some bias the way I see it. Of course, however, I'm open to what the ladies got to say.

I'm always in the mood to joke. I think it's a good start to break the stalemate when you meet a gal online.

Even still, ladies can be so tensed-up and do nothing to keep the conversation flowing.

It's like you feel a pulse on that thing, and can tell it's fading and you going off your wits end to jump-start this stubborn girl. And she keeps derailing it.

So, what are some practical means to get the ladies prep how to flow with Men in a conversation because I tell ya,the ladies just sit there and think a "silent treatment" is fun and games until we're forced to find that medium where she's connecting, and getting her to talk.

....I mean, dammnn!

Making me laugh in a first message, especially with something surprising, is the surest way to guarantee a response.

Unfortunately, most men (at least in my experience) lead with something that's either:

-so brief and generic that there's nothing to respond to

-blatantly sexual; or

-filled with over the top ridiculous flattery

Not a chance, be_great. In fact, I'm thinking this response must be a joke.

You'd have to be pretty witty in your wording to send a woman a message that contains all of the things she sees many times a day and have it entertain her.

the length of the convo is determined by the the compatibilities of both parties, their sense of humor etc..........


they have to be both interesting and interested in the other to what to know more.............and to keep the conversation lively and upbeat

now "be great", you know you have no problem talking.

I think it's usually men that have a harder time with conversations.

Although I am a very quiet and shy woman, I have been known (on occasion) to talk a bit.

online is kind of difficult.. if he can come up with something off the cuff, witty and yet smart and smartass all in one then I usually will respond back. Of course it all depends on the person I guess, I kind of have a off color sense of humor and most (notice I said most) times nothing will offend me. Now on the phone there has been times I have had a first conversation that has lasted hours (talked to one man I met here for 5 hours once on the first phone call and we still talk) it all depends on the mood both of us are in on how long the convo lasts. Other times I have talked to someone and can't find a damn thing to talk about.

She said an hour was the minimum. With her girlfriends. Key word, "girlfriends."

To try that with Men for more than an hour....I like to think we've gotten real cozy at that point.

Why do you think women "should" be a certain way? Why isn't it okay for everyone to have his/her own preferences and go with those, instead of the standard you set forth for everyone? Isn't that just a matter of compatibility?

You're real.

@lilod,

What I meant, she's relaxed enough where I don't feel like I'm walking on egg shells. That's no way to hold a conversation. Ladies want a Man to be real, right?

Well, being political correct is not being real....just polite and cordial ---- I don't want to hear that.

I want to hear the real you....something I can nod about and say, "yeah, I know what you mean." Ya know?

The only way to have that kind of spontaneity is let both parties come as they are and don't stifle me ------ like you're doing now.

Yes and that would be in the compatibility with each other...2 real people talking about real shit...that's why my friends and i can coverse so long...we're real with each other and interested in what each other has to say...my one friend and i once had a convo for 18 hrs all together over the course of 24 hrs...we always find things to talk about...there is never a shortage of conversation...



It helps that we've known each other for 39 yrs though i guess...

Of course it happens. No one perfect but with the qualities you mentioned, a Man will have no problem finding chemistry with ya.

But,if the real her is someone who is uncomfortable with or disgusted by the real you, shouldn't she also be real? And,if that's the case, isn't it best to find out right away rather than having her bite her tongue and keep interacting with you even though there's this underlying disconnect that's always going to be a problem?

see that's the thing I wouldn't keep talking to that person if I was uncomfortable with them or disgusted by the real them.. and I would tell them, not in a mean way I'm just not that way, that I felt like we didn't have anything in common or that they weren't what I was looking for or I couldn't be what they want me to be.. funny thing is I just did this with a guy I been talking to for about three weeks.. he got very offended and accused me of being shallow, that's why I say some people don't like honesty.. myself why keep talking to someone who you can't connect with or just don't feel that spark with, or who has a different outlook or dreams or goals than you do.. life's is too short..

I tried that this afternoon with a complete stranger who messaged me about his sex drive. When I said I didn't think it was appropriate subject matter for an introduction, he told me that he was very direct and anyone who couldn't handle it could f themselves. I politely responded that I wasn't being critical, we obviously just weren't on the same page and he responded with more specific information about his sexual appetites, a big "kiss" and a question about mine.

It's this kind of thing that has me mostly convinced that it's better not to respond at all.

@lilod,

You just creating scenarios where the outcome have to be negative.

You looking for it. You nippicking at it. We're talking here, an online meet to break a stalemate to get the parties on the ground, running, okay?

I understand what you're saying but not all Man coming to a Womam like a complete a**hole...like that nut-case, therightguyforyou, who just dropped in and had to say something stupid like he's a hotshot around here to get some attention.

Yet, sitting there like an airhead thinking he accomplished something.

Ya see?

So, not all Men come at women like that. I can read a situation well and know when to switch gears if she's getting uncomfortable.

Just that with you, I know it's a "I Won This Debate" thang with you, and I'm willing cede you victory to get you to see the greater point here: we reciprocated and doing EXACTLY like I was saying with no political correctness.

At that rate, we could be buddies by the end of the week if we wanted that.

Well ya I can agree with you on that point, if a complete stranger or say if it is a first email writes something that I don't agree with, offends me or I don't like I usually just delete and don't respond back to them... I only explain how I feel or my reaction to a comment that someone sent me to those who I have been talking to for a while and I feel like we actually have made some kind of connection whether it be a friend like feelings or something more, that what he said offends me or I don't like it.. I don't do that with every email I get.. if I did I would be on here 24/7 I don't have that much free time

Wow, be_great, you couldn't be more off base.

I'm not looking to "win" anything--I think that most situations are nuanced and that black and white "I'm right, you're wrong" perspectives almost always miss the mark and cause more problems than they solve. And, I'm not creating any scenarios--if you message a woman and she's (in your view) too uptight to just go with your flow or whatever, then she obviously is not compatible with you. That's fine. THAT's the point of the initial back and forth--not necessarily to get the ball rolling, but to determine whether or not both parties have even the slight amount of interest necessary to roll the ball back. Often, the answer is no.

What's wrong with that? You seem to want to view it as a flaw in a woman if she doesn't like your initial approach, but I don't understand why you think having preferences and acting on them is a character flaw.

"she's (in your view) too uptight to just go with your flow or whatever, then she obviously is not compatible with you." --- lilod

See what you just did there? You created that scenario. And it had to end "negatively."

How would you know what I find to be compatible with me? You don't. You assumed it have to end negative just because.

I mean....haha.


And then you added, "that's fine."

Well, it's not fine with me. And it usually don't play out that way. Both parties don't go into a "meet" hoping it end negative.

For the most part, both parties will be positive and see if there's any chemistry. Women and Men have diverse personalities for you to just paint them in a broad brush because you determined it should end negative.

I don't know how else to get you to see your flawed-thinking.

Yeah, see, the "flaw" is that I recognize that different people see things differently and you seem to feel like there's only one acceptable way.

You tried to use our back and forth here as proof that your way always works out, but it's really illustrating my point. We've both wasted some time going back and forth in a futile discussion, you've formed a completely inaccurate opinion of how and what I think, I have found you increasingly irritating...what's the upside to having gone ahead and dragged ourselves through that instead of cutting our losses at the outset and moving on to someone either or both of us might have enjoyed interacting with?

You tried to use our back and forth here as proof that your way always works out, but it's really illustrating my point. We've both wasted some time going back and forth in a futile discussion, you've formed a completely inaccurate opinion of how and what I think, I have found you increasingly irritating...what's the upside to having gone ahead and dragged ourselves through that instead of cutting our losses at the outset and moving on to someone either or both of us might have enjoyed interacting with?



I pointed out your thinking and quoted your comment. It's pretty self-explanatory the thoughts behind your comment. Thus, you did this to yourself. Not me.

And your irritation with me is absurdly misguided, I find it comical how and why you're upset with me.

And you asked what the upside to have gone through this ----- this is my thread. You came here to participate, and challenged me and accused me of wasting your time.

I mean....

I don't think it's a gender that makes it difficult to have a conversation so much. I think it's a person.

Poor communication skills, poor judgement is assessing a message content etc

Quote from lilod:
Making me laugh in a first message, especially with something surprising, is the surest way to guarantee a response.

Unfortunately, most men (at least in my experience) lead with something that's either:

-so brief and generic that there's nothing to respond to

-blatantly sexual; or

-filled with over the top ridiculous flattery


Oh, BABY! You're Venus personified! Wanna do the horizontal monkey dance?



Sorry, lilod. I couldn't resist.

You made me laugh, Jos, but you didn't even come close on flattery or vulgarity.

Good morning to you be_great. (night time here)

I don't ever have a problem with conversation... with anyone... in r/l I have spoken with my country's Prime Minister to the junkie in the street.. WE are just humans after all. On dates I have never had a problem with conversation..

For example I was in Richmond, Virginia.. alone, and I thought I would catch a local Bus to the closest Mall for a bit of a look around. I even took photos while waiting for the bus of the squirrels running around -everywhere! - by the time I got off I was speaking to a couple of ladies and there was lots of smiles exchanged. When a few of us got off the bus we stood for a while, we talked and joked, besides they liked my accent LOL LOL and gave me clues on where to shop! it was so nice.

I always think to get to know an area you need to catch local transport to really get the 'feel' of a place/country. I did that often.

Yeah, yeah i talk too much. LOL See too much ^^^^ LOL

"tensed up"??

I'm with Rifle, it's not the gender it's generally the individual but even then start with an ice breaking lil bit of humor (that's in good taste) and it's gold with most folks.



I rarely have an issue with talkin' with folks it's been said of me that strangers are just friends I haven't met yet.
