So why do i insist on texting over voice?

Don't think i don’t know why men want to voice chat.

First off, if you don't believe I'm a woman, thats 100% on you. I'm not required to prove my gender. I don't really care if you've been tricked before. Again, that's on you to deal with, not me to soothe.

Second, i get texting is a pain and there's the fat finger syndrome that men ultimately get, but you know what? I don't care. There's huge reasons why I don't do calls or voice messages.

1) i worked as a collector for the better half of my life. That means having hundreds of unpleasant phone calls a day. I avoid the phone at all costs now. That goes with vocalizing over a computer, phone or tablet. Firm pass.

2) i can type as fast as i can think, or just about. It's far easier for me to text then stumble over finding the right words verbally.

3) i can be more sincere in my replies. I can read the question or statement and instead of saying the first thing that comes to mind, that may be a knee jerk reaction, i can take a beat and really think it through.

4) Men, so horribly many of you say one thing verbally, but what you text is far more revealing. I can tell that you are going to be a huge ass in a short while through texting. Voice allows you to hide that because what you are willing to say is far more polite and civil than what you all text. I learn more about you through texting without ever asking questions.

Texting allows anything to be hidden. It's a completely emotionless way of communicating

@Justafantasy Maybe. It wouldn't surprise me, tbh. But, it's my life. Shouldn't I be the star in it?

@Justafantasy See, it's funny what you took from my statement and how you used it.

My meaning of my statement about reprioritizing was to say that maybe you should find time to communicate with others to build better relationships, but you took it as me expecting something for nothing. I was actually offering advice to maybe help you benefit from friendships, but instead of asking me what I was inferring, you assumed something awful about me.

Asking questions is an important part of text communication to make sure you are on the same page.

Texting is easier to express thoughts. I tend to go in circles a bit when I vocalise.
