@buddha95x I’m not upset. It’s just an observation of a behavior that tries my patience.

@Carissimi Not to toot my own horn (ha) but that’s something I learned way early, like walking before you run - listen before you talk. It’s near impossible for so many men to understand that women are people to and want to be heard just like men are.

@slobound Thank you. Yes, we are people too, and just want some respect as intelligent individuals who enjoy a normal and intelligent conversation. I’ll speak for myself, not all women.

@Carissimi Well I am happy to oblige :)

@Zonuss That’s insulting. I am not looking to hear what “I” want to hear. I’m interested in what the other person thinks. If I wasn’t interested, I wouldn’t ask. I’m done with this conversation. You are being adversarial just for the sake of it, I think. Have a good day.

@Carissimi I know that's not why you're here. I know that. I feel this way, and I should have made myself more clear. Whether looking for someone or not, to me it shows that they are emotionally unavailable if they don't care enough to even pay attention to what you're asking Or answer it.

@Carissimi That response was not meant to insult. It was meant to inform. Anyway it seems like you are contradicting yourself here today. You say you're not generalizing. So what are you doing? You want answers then ask a man who will give you one. Problem solved. 🙂

@Carissimi Oh, I think their hearing is just fine, but it's very selective. Don't want to hit a nerve. 🤣

@LadyGrace You can’t hit a nerve in a general conversation.

@Carissimi You can if they've something to hide and/or think you're digging. Or avoiding a certain subject.

You don't have that list sorted by height I suppose? 😁🤗 @meJess

@ThePerfectUsername height of impudence?

LOL! 😂 @meJess

@DudeistPriest I really appreciate your full explanation, but must respectfully disagree. When a man tells me he’s visited a certain part of the world, and I say, “I’ve been there too, how do you like it?” I don’t think that’s beating around the bush, or being vague. I know what you are talking about, but it’s not what I’m talking about. My context for these questions are just straight, everyday, common place questions. No one has to please me to give me an answer.

@Carissimi "'When a man tells me he’s visited a certain part of the world, and I say, “I’ve been there too, how do you like it?'"

I would describe what I liked about it like the food, the people, the cost of living. That sounds more like a normal flow of conversation. Has someone ignored you when you asked them this?

@DudeistPriest That was just an analogy, and maybe not a good one. You are giving me advice on having a conversation. That’s not what this post is about. Thank you, anyway. I know you mean well.

@ravenwind43 That's the key, right there. Communication on both parts. Neither are remind readers. If they think so, that's when things get sticky and complicated. Then they wonder why.

@ravenwind43 Right. If I ask someone the time, I don’t want to hear 3-weeks next Saturday as the answer. Not that this is a real Q&A, but an analogy of what I’m talking about here. It’s not even personal questions.

@Zonuss What is it with you being on my case?

@ThePerfectUsername Exactly. Thank you.

@ThePerfectUsername Generalizations are not true. They are assumptions based on misunderstandings. Get over that. 🙂

@yogibooboo The question should be exactly as it stands. You are seeing things that are not there.

@Carissimi I suggest that you are seeing things that are not there. You have generalized every man on the planet with your own singular experience.

@yogibooboo It is not based on one experience, but a pattern I’ve observed over many years. You are entitled to think as you wish. I have no desire to engage in an argument.

@Carissimi Definitly a woman .Give them your opinion then if they dont agree with it then its a man thing .If you ask a question then ask the right question .If I got asked that question Iwould give my opinion of it .Whether you like the answer I wouldnt care as it would be my opinion and I am entitled to that .

@Rhodesianman As I said, “space aliens.” It’s like I’m communicating with beings on another planet speaking with you and @zonuss. I rest my case.

@Carissimi No. You just refuse to accept that not all Men are the same. And after reading this post it's quite obvious.

@Tatsumi When I ask a man what he thinks of such and such (it could be any topic under the sun), and he just goes on about something else, or responds with a non answer, well, the only thing I expect from him is to answer the bloody question. It means he’s not listening to me, and has no interest in what I’m saying. Therefore why would I carry on a discussion with someone who doesn’t listen? I won’t. It’s rude at the very least.

@SW-User You make a good point. I’ve noticed this myself.

@Carissimi Yup, I've seen it plenty in my other fellows

@Freudianslip13 I know. Me too.

@Whyme Maybe, but it’s so prevalent in men. I’m thinking it’s genetic.

@Zonuss What do you mean by “go for”? I speak to most people who speak to me. Men and women. I don’t “go for” anyone. How rude I would be to only speak to specific people.

@Carissimi Well what do you expect. Are you having realistic expectations. Ask yourself that question please.

@Zonuss I don’t even know what you are talking about. What do I expect? I expect an answer. I don’t consider that unrealistic during a conversation with anyone. This is not complicated. It’s very simple.
