Men: How Many Women Can You Handle?

I don't mean physically, but if you start talking with a woman online, and you enjoy your conversations, then another one, then another, so that you are conversing with several, and you keep contact with all. Keep talking with all, how many can you keep up with, and will you start to become attached to one (or two) as time passes?

On the flip side (I am female), I prefer the attention of one at a time...rarely two. If I get a sense that someone is juggling several conversations simultaneously I usually find a way to opt out. It's their choice of course but I don't have to participate :)

@Chele: I didn't mean more than one conversation at a time. I don't like that "juggling" either. I mean how many people can you keep in your conversation circle, and keep up with...say daily conversations...with more depth than "hi, how are you?"

@Carissimi: Ohhh...sorry, I misunderstood. I'll butt out now, lol.

@Chele: It's okay. You can answer. 🙂

@Carissimi: I keep a fairly wide circle as long as all are pleased with the conversation; I've never counted. Most of the time I have daily contact with only 3 or 4. It can get time consuming but if there are more the truth is I make notes or refer to past messages. Most of the conversations are lengthy and I have other pen pals as well...not related to social web sites.

@Chele: Are you very young and/or full of energy?

@Carissimi: Neither but on line friends are all I have; I don't socialize in person. Some of these people have been my contacts for several years now and I am very fond of them. As for favorites, no one is more than the other as they are all different.

@Chele: Then it must be me. Years ago, on EP, I was like you, although I did have favorites. I could talk to so many people in my circle ( not all of them every day), but several every day. I could talk all night. I can't do that now. Just the thought makes me want to nap. I couldn't, and wouldn't do it now. I'm sure some of my brain cells got fried by some life experiences, so it's different now. I'm different now.

Yes, there are times when I get tired and that's when I take a break for a day or so. And we change you know, LOL...so we don't enjoy the same things forever.
