Straight up - sometimes people just want to chat to someone with minimal effort from the other side. Whats funny is some of them chat SO much that they forget themselves and have to ask how you're doing on the otherside of the phone LOL.

Awwww how sweet.....

I must say, I do like to talk (obviously), but to certain people. Mainly close friends and family. If I'm not close to someone, I'm not too good at talking for long periods, I'm more likely to listen and say the occasional "your right you know".

I've been told off a few times for my one word answers, or just listening without saying much. You know what? Some people actually just phone you to talk to you, not to listen. I dont really mind that though, its usually a good friend who is down in the dumps anyway.

If its someone I'm dating I tend to listen more than I talk (unless its a subject area which really interests me), but that tends to backfire when they get annoyed that I know everything about them, and they know zilch about me.

In my head I just reply "Well shut the F up once in a bloody while then "....lol

My last date talked me well and truely under the table, haven't seen him since as he let out far too much info.............lol

Funny, growing up I was known as the chatty one but if truth be known it was more to do with the fact I had the least if not nothing to hide. All my bredrins used to run multiple women and such so when I'd be talking promoting unity I'd be exposing their runnings without even checking it.

Women tend to gas more talk anything for talking sake. They go on these long winding conversations which fundamentally are about nothing. One thing I couldn't take was growing up and every man I conversed with only spoke about pu$$y - I'm like where are all the black pioneers, those building and investing in the future, where are all the brothas talking about being an inch away from the next patent or their next invention. I found it quite bewildering.

Still, buck my bredrins from day and no matter which walk in life we have made if there is one thing we can all reach consensus on is babymothers and the general mentality of women. No offence, it's just how it is.

My husband said the reason he hooked me was because on our first date he let me do all the talking and he listened. i then thought he was mysterious and interested in me so i was hooked. he said that the best way for any man to get a woman interested is to let her talk, nod and ask more questions about her, she'll think you're really into her! Of course now i've been sucked in ,we've been together 5 years and are married he barely listens to a thing i say!....oh well the joys of married life!!

We are different species and will never understand each other. I would ask 'why do men talk so little?' and watch the conversation spiral out of control.

But I know women do talk a lot. There are so many things in the world you just have to talk about. Women like to express things a lot because it gets things off of our minds.

My husband would love this thread

he reckons I talk alot. But what he really means is that when I speak to my friends on the phone or face to face, the conversation does not interest him.

however he chats all the time to his friends. they chat gossip you name it

Um women tend to get with someone because they actually like them as a person and enjoy their company and conversation, and not because they just want to bang them until they get bored. They also tend to not think that because they've lost the "spark" in a personal relationship or don't think they're compatible in that way they also have to ditch the person like trash.

At least that's the way it seems.

LOL I like that, that is a good one I can imagine what he face must of looked like..
